My time at Texas A&M has been a great learning experience. The challenges faced as a student have made myself stronger and even more motivated to be successful in the work force. As a transfer student I had the opportunity to see what college is like at another school. The commitment and leadership at TAMU is above and beyond anywhere I have ever known. I feel honored to have been a student here at TAMU and will cherish that forever.
I had a great 2.5 years in the department. The education I received prepared me for my career and I was able to gain valuable tools that will help me to succeed.

My overall educational experience at Texas A&M University was amazing and I love that I am apart of a great family that will continue even through my children.
Overall, the department has been great. It has been such a blessing to be a part of AgEc. The professors, staff, and faculty have treated me with love and respect. They have allowed me to fulfill my potential and launch me towards a successful career.
I was impressed with the opportunity the AGBU program offered. The faculty were top notch, the material was engaging, and there was an overall attitude carried by the student population that we were carrying on a mantle of duty and respect because of the program we were in.
Overall amazing experience with awesome professors!
