The Bryan-College Station area has grown a lot since most of us were in school, and certainly since the SWC days. Your dining and entertainment options there won't look a ton different than any decent suburb. And a lot more alumni and families stay in town for game weekends these days. Hotel prices and restaurant wait-times are the only reason not to stay in town, but this weekend will be easier than a lot of game weekends.
Aloomni, try Former Students. tu has aloomni!
Oh noes, someone should tell the folks at the Clayton Williams Alumni Center that the building name has been wrong this whole time.
The anti alumni push is one of the dumbest things that irritates the hell out of me.
If you graduate, you're an alumnus/alumna. Although, some definitions do still include former student under the term.
If you attend, you achieve former student upon departure. Smart at implementation to proudly differentiate without alienating because of Ags who had to leave to put food on the table or left to serve and were unable or did not finish studies.
All alumni are former students. Not all former students are alumni if using the terms deliberately as differing definitions.
