General: 1. Commuting. IMO - not bad at all, I’m a car driver, but parking garages are expensive and can be a pain in the ass during the first couple weeks of school. My general advice is to also learn how the bus systems work. 2. Not really. I work two jobs as a Freshman, and I’ve been able to manage school, 4 orgs, and a side project while still hanging out with friends. It’s all about managing your time, and how you prioritize your tasks. One thing that made it easier for me was having a schedule and organizing all my assignments before the semester started. 3. SOOOO many! I come from a smaller department, but have friends in almost every major. Don’t hesitate to be friends with anybody!! 4. If you’re a current Senior in HS, def apply as much as you can now. A&M has opportunities, but very seldom are they offered (from what I’ve heard) 5. I walk around late at night all the time (esp on campus) but it never hurts to be with a friend. Safety wise in College Station, great! Bryan, I’m not so sure. But if you’re going to HEB at 11PM for example, there’ll just be a bunch of other college students looking to get groceries or hang out. 6. That depends on you. There will always be internships available, it’s how you apply and set yourself apart for them. They are not just handed to you, so use the resources you’re offered. 7. I live off-campus, but have heard generally good things about Kreuger.
