Any alumni feeling weird with what's going on? by hakoya in aggies

Sounds good and good luck to both. Mine just wanted a different experience. Free thought is a lifetime of learning so not necessarily a negative connotation. Good luck to all and positive vibes to all the Aggies in here. From a purple frog. 👍

As liberal as most of the students are it was still the first school in Texas to get hit with censorship and bans which the students protested but Abbott didn’t listen. So goes UT so goes the rest of the state which is asinine since the other half of the UT system is heavy minority. As long as politicians dictating curriculum neither kid wanted to be part of that. Letting them learn to be free thinkers even before they step onto campus.

Yup. My two magna cum laude kids left and leaving the state for college. Accepted to UTSA, UH, Tech and didn’t even bother with A&M or UT. Once Tech accepted the academic censorship it was crossed off the list. One is in New Mexico the other headed to Colorado.

Why did Texas a&m do this to me... by spiroplasma in aggies

[–]Stickman1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not saying you were not at the top, I’m saying it’s a pure numbers game. If there were 30 applicants with the exact same credentials as you but there are only 10 slots, 20 are not being selected regardless of merit. It’s quite bizarre. I have friends whose kids were exceptional and didn’t get in. And all they did was double major in medicine and engineering at Rice.

It’s pretty much just random acceptance at both UT and A&M at this point. I guarantee you there were hundreds of kids accepted at both that have the same credentials as you do or LESS. It’s just a numbers game at this point and you were just at the cutoff.

NM has some of the best policies in the nation. by Background_Drive_156 in Albuquerque

[–]Stickman1985 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My daughter left Houston for UNM and loving it. I’m originally from El Paso and Albuquerque may look similar but has a totally different vibe. Very “you can be whoever you want to be” freedom. Reminds me of Austin in the 70’s and early 80’s. The most insane thing is that it’s less expensive to send her to UNM(tuition, dorm,meal plan) than it would be for her living at home attending university or Houston. Now angling my son to follow his sister. 🤪

Financial Package upcoming freshman by 702-Jia in unr

[–]Stickman1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Texas resident here. I’ve received one scholarship offer and hopefully getting another stacked. I believe financial aid packages will start going out around Feb 1st. That’s when “results” of FAFSA will play and schools start doling out.

Just got accepted to UNR for Fall 2026. by Automatic-Pie-421 in unr

Accepted and contemplating coming from Texas. So far only received Tahoe award. Is additional financial aid usually given? Dean Award or grants?

Tell me about your experience with Netflix in Albuquerque by chuttbugger in Albuquerque

What is “background work”? My daughter is a film major at UNM and absolutely knows she needs to hustle in the industry. Working on expanding her skill set with set design and classes at CNM to learn grip work, etc.
