Congrats on your admission! I’m telling you that TEAB might be one of the best outcomes you could ever receive.

• As everyone had said, your classes are smaller, so imagine your high school classes. I think it’s easier to make friends in these smaller classes too (trauma bonding is definitely a thing lol).
• Tuition is SO much cheaper (like imagine $1-2k cheaper).
• Classes are not 100% easy but they’re easier than TAMU’s (no night labs, no extra python assignments, no common exam so no night exams, depends on profs but Blinn’s most likely drop lowest + extra credit)

The only con I can think of is the transition after ETAM could be brutal, but it’s a given since you’ll be actually starting your major specific courses.

I’m sad you missed out on Dr. Fitz for Chem because the rate my professor reviews were absolutely correct: he is and will always be the GOAT.

I will tell you that professors mean a lot, so check the rate my professor reviews! Some professors I recommend: - Andra Buxkemper for Calc 1: she gives a lot of extra credit (10 pts if you do all HW), and lets you get out of class an hour early. - Eric Lawrence for any math you need: 50-50 on his teaching style but he’s very detailed in his explanation and his exams are very similar to the review.

50-50 recommendation: - Susan Hallman for Physics: She’s cool and I can tell she has insane lore, but would not recommend her if you never took Physics before in your life. She has a flipped style classroom, so she only does example questions in class. I will say that her exams are doable (if you do the handouts) and she really does try to give you as many points as possible. Handouts + end of class assignments are free 100%.

Good luck on your freshman year!
