I'm thinking about attending MSU next year; what are some reasonsI should go to MSU over Texas A&M?</p>
Student in San Antonio
- Thread starter dawg.deltadiablotalk
- Start date
and our football coach is not named Mike Sherman.
And that should just about do it.

to the guy asking the question....Its a legit college experience but not too big of a school like A&M. Its in a great small college town that is laid back but also provides plenty of opportunities to party if that's what you want.
And its in the SEC.

i've only been in texas for 5 years; i lived in mississippi for the first 13 years. all my family is in mississippi.
But as an MSU grad who grew up in Missouri... graduated from MSU and then moved to Houston, TX for an engineering job.... I can safely say that if the A+M grads that I work with (I know about 50 of them) are a resemblance of their entire student body... I would've transferred out of College Station after 1 semester. Legitimately, I can't stand the A+M grads that I work with (small sample size though).
I went to State for, um, awhile, and now live in Austin.
From the few times I've been to A&M, there are more women @ state than
at college station.
If you are interested in military stuff, then A&M is clearly better. Also, if you are
interested in texas connections, then A&M is better. As a school though, particularly
in engineering, you are going to have better access to the profs @ state.
For whatever reason, it seems like both Utexas and A&M have grad students teaching
most classes, even high level ones in engineering.
Finally, I think pork bbq is better than beef bbq, and that all tea should be "sweet" by default.

I have visited A&M. I graduated with from State in the mid 90's
A&M is a very good school. No doubt about that. You can't go wrong at A&M. MSU has a good engineering school too. What do you want to major in?
The biggest difference between MSU and A&M is the size of the schools. A&M is massive. I don't know, but I'd assume their classrooms are massive too. Do you want massive? Or do you like a smaller town/college setting?

I am a MSU vet school grad and have a residency at Texas A & M in anatomical pathology. The undergrad and vet school at MSU are very good and the class sizes are much smaller: My classes at MSU in undergrad were around 20-30 students as compared to the undergrad classses that I had to take at A & M which were 50-100 students which meant that you got very little interaction with the professor. The campus at MSU is much more compact and things are easy to get to, while at A & M it takes a shuttle to get to the other classes due to the layout of the campus. In vet school, the class size is also smaller at MSU since there are only around 65-70 students per admission class compared to 150 at A & M. Even though MSU is in a smaller town, there is not a whole lot of difference in the social scene. At A & M you will still have to drive to Houston-90 miles- to get into the action. I know that both schools are excellent in what they do--I give the edge in a big way to A & M for their vet grad school, but I would take MSU for the normal veterinary degree.
