21. Please comment on your overall educational experiences at Texas A&M and the Department of Agricultural Economics
I loved my educational experience at Texas A&M. The department of AGEC got me to the place I am today and helped me find an amazing career, and I am very thankful for that!
Wouldn't trade this experience for the world. Can't thank y'all enough.
Wonderful experience and I would recommend it to anyone.
Very good overall, professors are humble and approachable, and advisors are helpful.
Very good experience. Wish it was longer !
Texas A&M has set me up for success in a way that no other organization could have. The Aggie network is the strongest there is, and I cannot wait to represent Texas A&M on the business front
Loved it, counselors and guidance is awesome. If one of us wins we all win attitude.
The department is very unique What makes it so special is not the material or concepts we learn, but the professors that are so extremely dedicated to their students success professionally outside the classroom.
