<p>Take a tour at A&M if possible. It alll depends on what you are lookng for in a college experience. I am personally biased in its favor regardless of how it looks, but my son who had never been there before really liked it. It does have a bit of sprawl to it due to major expansions. However, they are trying to “cluster” the different disciplines and if you live on campus everything is reachable, esp. with busses. It is not your classic Northeast college campus, but a major renovation of the student center was just completed. The campus culture is another thing you will need to consider on any of your visits. Ask a lot of questions on all of your visits about this–is it a greek school, conservative, liberal, totally focused on sports, green, etc. What are the opportunities if you decide you want to change majors? As one of our neighbors pointed out–you can make a large college small, but it is hard to make a small college large. Good luck on your search.</p>
