<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>This question is external of applications/academic. I'm just wondering for my own knowledge of collegiate athletics and social structure. </p>
<p>Texas A&M - College Station is (at least here in Georgia) seen as THE TAMU. My question for Texas residents/TAMU fanatics is do students at TAMU-Corpus Christi, TAMU-San Antonio, TAMU-Commerece etc. "root" for the same athletic team/brand?</p>
<p>Do students at branch campuses say "I go to TAMU" or do they say "I go to TAMU-Corpus Christi"? Do they all root for the Aggies? How about employability? I know they might have different admissions standards/programs, but do students at other campuses also vouch for the "name" of TAMU? How about alumni interactions?</p>
<p>Other examples like this include:
In California...UCLA..UC-Berkley..UC-San Diego..UC-Santa Barbara..
In Washington..UW-Seattle..UW-Bothell..UW-Tacoma..
In Ohio...Ohio State-Columbus..Ohio State-lima..
In Alabama...University of Alabama...University of Alabama-Birmingham
In North Carolian...UNC-Chapel-Hill..UNC-Charlotte..
In Michigan...University of Michigan-Ann Arbor...UMISH-Dearborn</p>
<p>etc.</p>
<p>I'm just trying to understand thoughts out there. I KNOW they're academically and institutionally different universities.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
