TAMU Aggies Military

Few colleges in America are so packed with unique traditions as Texas A&M —you’ll soon find yourself taking part in the famous yells at Kyle Field and putting a penny on the Sully statue before a big test. There’s also the Big Event, a massive annual community service project that draws tens of thousands of TAMU students every year.

As one of the few Senior Military Colleges in the nation, the TAMU Corps of Cadets is a major presence on campus, and it’s extremely common to see scores of students dressed in tan uniforms and tall brown riding boots around campus. With the entire city of College Station more or less revolving around TAMU, there’s no shortage of things to do after class and on weekends. After a long evening enjoying the legendary Northgate nightlife, drop in for a snack at the ever-popular 24-hour taco shop, Fuego Tortilla Grill (early risers can also enjoy the amazing breakfast tacos).
