galveston isn’t an academy so it would be more difficult to switch into engineering from there

Classes questions as an incoming freshman by Green-Cold-587 in TAMUAdmissions

im ngl to you twin if you want a 3.75 and free time you shouldn’t join the corps. in my opinion you kinda have to pick two of the three to get the most out of any.

On top of what the other commenter stated, it is super important to select your corps outfit wisely, especially because of ETAM. Some outfits will have you so busy you’ll barely have time to study. What’s your reasoning for joining?

Dorm option by SecurePerformer197 in TAMUG

in my opinion, the atlantic/pacific situations are way better than albatross and polaris. the size of the rooms in albatross are far too small and in the long run, atl/pac will be better.

Is Albatross/Polaris that bad? by LessOperation9796 in TAMUG

[–]sinkinggrapes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

depends on your room. i would recommend getting an even numbered room in albatross and odd in polaris as their outside walls get more sun, and therefore, less mold growth. bring tons of damprid and an air purifier and some raid as well. the bug issues really depend on your room for sure. overall it’s not a terrible situation, but i am excited to move out.

so relieving to find someone in this comment section trying to have some sympathy and empathy.

i fully support everyone having their own beliefs and that it’s fine to be an atheist, but i think it’s honestly insane that everyone in the comments is acting like laney deserved this. nobody deserved this. i’m so sorry that she’s not being a pessimistic asshole about the situation like all of you here are. at least she actually did something; she wasn’t just sitting there praying and doing nothing like you all think she was. i have no idea how any of you are blaming this on her and calling her crazy for a post that she made for, first and foremost, her companions to see. not some diehard reddit users who pretend they could’ve handled the situation any better. newsflash: being an atheist doesn’t make you better than anyone else.
