The campus is beautiful. There is great Aggie Pride there! The students and staff are very helpful.When I went for a campus Open House I loved the dining area has a large choice of food and is very nutritional, I also liked the College of Engineering which I will be attending in the fall of 2013.

I visited A&T as one of my prospective college choices while making my decisions. I choose A&T as my college choose, first because it provided the academic courses that I seek such "Animal Science", secondly it was not to far from home even though I will be staying on campus and last, I liked the atmosphere of the student, faculty and cultural environment. The students that assisted with the tour also helped as they provided a true picture of their own experiences and life at the college. And, most important I did my research about the "Animal Science" program and they had great reviews and strong student support outside of the classroom whereby assistance such a mentoring students being placed in potential careers of interest and in my case continue on to a successful Veterinarian degree program. I also inquired about post graduate programs leading to universities that accepts their BS- Animal Science" degrees which came with great reviews about grad placements.
