<p>Howdy, I'm thinking about going into engineering at a&m. I am concerned about going there because of the size. I go to a small high school now focused on discussion based learning. I find that I learn best this way. I got accepted to the University Honors program if anyone has input on that. Here are my questions</p>
<ol>
<li>How is the general discussion based learning of the classes</li>
<li>How hands on is the program</li>
<li>Is there focus on learning communication skills? I'm pretty verbal and see myself as like a middle man between engineers and business people. I'd like to have a business focus (and am willing to take real classes instead of meaningless electives)</li>
<li>How much room is there to take other classes for fun?</li>
<li>(For the honors) Would it be hard to keep a 3.5?</li>
<li>(in general for the school) how flexible are the majors? I have wanted to do engineering since a young child (family connection) but am still worried about wanting to change majors. I fear that switching majors would mean I wouldn't graduate in 4 years. How easy is it to get a taste of other majors specifically within engineering?</li>
</ol>
<p>I'm deciding between Trinity University (which has a business focused, liberal arts engineering program with small classes) and A&M which is more well known and naturally has the stronger program. If you have any more tips or information that could help me make a choice I would love to hear from you!</p>
<p>Thanks!!</p>
