Anybody, go there and then transfer to A&M in college station, was it hard? did you like it?

My brother did. He seemed to think TAMUG was easy, think he made a 4.0. But he didn't like it and was very happy to transfer to College Station.

Moe than a few people do this. I think it is a little easier to get into TAMUG but it is still "really" TAMU.

Galveston is not one of the instant Texas A&M campuses.

Used to use the small boat basin when I was in school to launch my boat. All you had to do was call the police station and they'd send the cop out to check your student ID. The Cops were always nice. You can pull out some big flounder there during the run in oct-nov

I did my undergrad in College Station and got my masters at A&M Galveston. From what I could grasp from the undergrads I knew, the Galveston campus was more like Aggie Lite. They tried to keep the traditions and such, but it wasn't as big a part of student life. It is a very small campus and it does have a history of being a "back door" into the College Station campus. Supposedly, if you didn't have the grades to get into main campus, you could say you wanted to be in the Marine Biology program and get into Galveston, then transfer to College Station after a year or two. This doesn't make sense to me because the Galveston campus is not a separate entity from College Station, but it's just what 'they' say.

As for academics, many of the profs at Galveston have taught in College Station at some time or another. You degree will say TAMU, not TAMUG, so don't worry about not getting full Aggie credit for you diploma. The campus is not on Galveston island, but on a dredge spoil island (Pelican) across the Galveston channel. This helps to keep the ghetto away from campus. Hope this info helps a little and is what you were looking for. There are some really good people involved with TAMUG and if you're interested in the marine environment or industry, I would recommend it.

best decision i ever made. went there for three years. the best threes years of college. very easy to get in cs. small campus get to know lots of people usually very good football tickets. i think for a freshmen it is a great way to start your college life.

I used the back door. Partied on the beach and fished for a year then came up to CS.

graduated from tamu. thank god i had a smart girlfriend, otherwise, i never would have made it out of there.
