Though still 鈥渁 fairly new law school,鈥 Texas A&M University is flush with opportunity. From day one, it鈥檚 rather apparent that the 鈥渇aculty and staff...have established a professional environment focused on student success in the real world.鈥 After all, there鈥檚 no denying that A&M鈥檚 鈥渆mphasis on soft skills gives its students a unique edge in the workforce.鈥 Then again, one of the school鈥檚 biggest selling points is its 鈥渟mall classes.鈥 This enables 鈥渆very student...to get a personalized educational experience with faculty who are willing and able to structure their teaching methods to meet the particular needs of the students.鈥

And speaking of professors, Texas A&M manages to attract 鈥渁bsolutely incredible鈥 instructors who 鈥渁re at the top of their field鈥 and 鈥渁lways seem to [have] a smile on their face.鈥 The vast majority are also inclined to 鈥済o above and beyond to help students.鈥 One individual further explains, 鈥淚 have not met a single staff member who did not genuinely seem to want the students to do well. 鈥 A classmate concurs adding, 鈥淚 have never been made to feel that a faculty or staff member was too busy to answer my question or connect me with a colleague that practices in my areas of interest.鈥

Texas A&M鈥檚 administration also does a stellar job. Although in a period of 鈥渢ransition,鈥 the folks here are wholly 鈥渁ccessible鈥 and strive to make sure that 鈥渆very student is heard.鈥 Indeed, 鈥渋f you have a question about something or want to see a change in how the school is being operated, there is always an avenue where [you] can be heard.鈥 These opportunities range 鈥渇rom 鈥楧ean town halls鈥 every semester [to] faculty open door policies and quarterly student leadership meetings with various [administrators].鈥

Students do note that the law school building itself is probably the biggest issue because the 鈥渓imited space creates some scheduling challenges.鈥 Fortunately, this problem is tempered by the fact that 鈥渢here is a new building project in the works.鈥 Moreover, we鈥檝e been assured that with 鈥渃areful planning most students can take the classes they want despite the scheduling difficulties.鈥 And many individuals remark that 鈥渢he library does a great job at having resources available for students and they are very responsive with getting books via inter-library loan.鈥

Campus Life

Students Say

Future JDs attending Texas A&M can breathe a sigh of relief. That鈥檚 because the school manages to maintain 鈥渁 really healthy culture of camaraderie and competition without the toxic & sabotaging type of competition that you often hear about at other schools.鈥 In fact, students are delighted to discover that their peers are 鈥渨elcoming, helpful, encouraging, and intelligent.鈥 As this student rushes to add, 鈥淓veryone knows one another and treats each other with respect and kindness, even in the middle of a tense finals season.鈥 A classmate concurs chiming in, 鈥淭he curve being what it is, we are all in silent competition with one another, but everyone with whom I鈥檝e interacted has been willing to lend a hand when somebody doesn鈥檛 understand a concept, needs class notes from being out sick, or otherwise go out of their way to help their peers.鈥 Of course, it definitely helps that 鈥渢here are a lot of student organizations and mentor programs so finding friends is not difficult.鈥 And, when students need a break from law school life, they can head into the city. After all, hometown 鈥淔ort Worth has something everyone can enjoy, but is not so large [as to be] overwhelming.鈥
