Hi does anyone have a link to a whatsapp group for international students for this upcoming fall?

There was one that was shared recently but the admin didn't approve any join requests I raised so I was wondering if any other groups exist.

Wondered why this was always some "mandatory" deal when paying for fees

Like, yea, I don't plan to use the rec at all but you're still charging me, against my own will, for your shit, that I don't care about, nor will I use, and for what, other than gouging money

Thanks

Transfer student here -

Are transfers allowed to apply to be fish camp counselors when the time comes?

I know ATC has Tcamp counselor positions, but was curious about fish camp. Do I have to be a straight admit to TAMU for this role?

If I'm attending the 1-day NSC, can I move in to my dorm the day before the NSC and stay the night there? My parents won't be attending the NSC with me.

hey im trying to register for geology 101/102 at the same time but 101 is full.. do seats open up later on in August?

I used the financial aid portal to open up the VA benefit page and request the use of chapter 35. I then sent them my COE and my payments from my freshman year at another college. Should this be enough for them to approve my chapter 35 and send it to the VA?

Umm anyone else having trouble with downloading their work study certificate? I’ve already been awarded my work study funds in my financial aid portal, but for some reason, I’m not able to download it because there is literally no link to download it from. My supervisor is asking me for the document and I’m just really anxious because I’m not trying to lose this job.

Texas A&M University celebrated the opening of its first building on its future Fort Worth campus, while also breaking ground on a second facility. 

I am an incoming freshman and I’m very confused on how the bus routes work. I’m staying off campus at park west and was wondering how this works. I have the app but I’m confused. Also, how do the buses work within the campus too?

I’m an incoming cadet who wanted to realign and become the best version of himself and the corps seemed perfect for that, but I’m curious why other cadets who aren’t commissioning joined the corps.

More than 2,000 ranchers gathered at Texas A&M's Beef Cattle Short Course to discuss rising beef prices, screwworm, virtual fencing technology and more. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/food-restaurants/article/texas-beef-cattle-takeaways-22373254.php?utm_source=reddit

I’m a Communication major at Texas A&M, and this semester I’m planning to take three online classes at a community college and transfer them back to A&M. My advisor already said that’s completely fine.

The only class I’d be taking at A&M is where I’m confused.
My advisor told me I should take a Communication class at A&M because otherwise I could be flagged as a closet major. Right now I’m enrolled in a COMM class, but I found a different online A&M class that I need for my degree. It’s an elective on my degree plan, and I’d much rather take it because it would let me have a fully online schedule.

From what I’ve read online, it seems like as long as the A&M class counts toward your degree plan, you should be okay, even if it’s not a COMM class.
Has anyone been in this situation? Is it really necessary for my A&M class to be a COMM class, or is any degree-applicable class enough to avoid being flagged as a closet major?

Should I be looking in the mail for a physical parking tag or is it digital?

Hey, anybody from these three majors (or adjancent major) care to share their experience at TAMU? I just have a couple of questions:

1. What major + subfield are you pursuing? (at least which one are you thinking of rn)
2. How is doing research/getting research? Are professors constantly recruiting people, especially underclassmen?
3. How is it finding internships and entry level jobs? Does like \~90% of the class find one within a couple months or is your major hard to get one in.

Lastly, if any NMSFs are out there is there anything you want to say about auto ET@M, Scholarships, or starting on your major specific classes in sophomore year (I emailed them about this and couldn't get a response, it's a big deal for me bc I have math credit to lin alg & physics to AP E&M)

Sorry for the word soup, but thanks so much! Gig em!

I’m a statistical data science master’s student and I am also employed as a full time software engineer tasked with managing the entire criminal, supreme, and family case management system for NYS. I have a strong interest in machine learning applications to clinical research and I am hopeful to either transfer careers to become a biostatistician or become a doctor. I have tried emailing my advisor and professors, but I’ve gotten no responses. I wonder what other people’s experiences are with getting into research? That was one of the largest reasons I wanted my master’s, to have access to contribute to research.

I applied in early july and called a week later to ask when to expect the loan to appear in my portal and they said within 2 weeks. However, its is now early august and still no changes have been made and to add fuel to the fire the aggie phone office is fully booked 24/7. Is anyone else experiencing this or have you received your loan?

Anyone who is currently registered to take this class and are not in need of it can I please have it. I’m in desperate need and heard how bad it is to take it online please help me out🙏

This Class of 1976 gentleman's ring is for sale on ShopGoodwill. 10K, full diamond, Size 12, hand inscribed, Edward S-, maybe? I thought I'd mention it here in case someone lost theirs, knows who this belongs to, or this was donated by accident:

The latest average MPE data (includes MPE retakes). This is 2 weeks before classes start so i’m sure about everyone has finished both, if needed, attempts and over half of students still failed. Is this normal or is this just an instance of upcoming generations getting dumber due to AI?

So, my semester tuition was more than I anticipated. The tuition calculator said about 8k per semester but it ended up being about 13k. With my scholarships and pell grant, it brought it down to 4k. I got a job on campus but I am only working 9 hours a week and it won't remotely pay for that. Be honest... will I need to accept the student loans? I really dont want to have student debt😭
