20. Overall amazing experience, loved every minute!
Please comment on your overall educational experiences at Texas A&M and the Department of Agricultural Economics
Overall amazing experience, loved every minute!
I loved my time here. Times were not always easy academically or personally, but with the help of the amazing faculty, my friends that kept me encouraged, and my family, I was able to persevere. I am very thankful to the AGEC department for giving me a second, and a third chance to finish this degree. I truly owe you my deepest gratitude.
I enjoyed my experience at A&M these past couple of years. I feel extremely prepared for the next steps.
Gig'Em and God Bless.
It’s been a wild ride but I loved every minute of it!
They time I had here was great even when pulling all nighters didn’t seem like it. I will hold this time at tamu as special as the day I got my acceptance to come.
It was an incredible opportunity with amazing faculty! Thank you so much for all the time and effort!
I have had the best experience here at Texas A&M and in the college of agriculture.

21. I loved this department because it is filled with compassionate and ethical people who are always willing to help.
Really enjoyed skyp lunches, provided great opportunities in getting to know professors as well as getting an idea of where to go post graduation
Overall I had an incredible experience. This department and the people involved, whether that’s students, professors, advisors, etc., are unmatched my the other departments
Overall I think the department is great. I think the professors do a great job of really interacting with students and truly want to see them succeed.
I have had the best experience here at Texas A&M and in the college of agriculture.
The department is EXCELLENT! The advisers and amazing and I have learned so much and met so many great friends and professors. I would not change much about the department. The career opportunities are wonderful. I think my biggest takeaway from the department is how to be a successful young professional.
I enjoyed my time and studies at A&M, the only issue I had was the end of my minor.
I had a great experience and enjoyed my education in AGEC. More training in technology used in the modern workplace would be helpful.
I am glad i attended this University i felt welcomed by all students and staff.
