    45 years ago I came to Galveston island to attend Texas A & M College of Marine Science. My…read moredecision was made based on in-state vs out of state tuition. In my dreams, I wanted to attend Scripts or the University of Hawaii. But, after checking the in-state tuition rates it was a brainer. Especially since I was paying my own way! Tx A & M has always had a reputation for being reasonably priced. What I didn't know then that I know now is, what a fantastic institution of higher learning it is. I was just trying to go to college! Turns out I got a great education and a network of former students that is incredibly strong and loyal. The Galveston campus is still small by most standards. However, it has grown quite a bit since I was there. It was great to drive thru the campus and see the older buildings that were the originals that I attended and the significant new ones all around. I advise anyone considering an ocean centric education be it, engineering, science or merchant marine to strongly consider this college. Its a well kept secret but, slowly the word is getting out.

    Our daughter entered A&M's Maritime Administration & Logistics program in 2015. Her major is…read moreessentially a business degree centered on the shipping & oil industries, and if she continues past MARA and onto Logistics she'll be looking at a pretty sweet deal - it's a 5 year master's program. As she entered with tons of transferrable dual credit hours from high school, she will basically have the chance to earn her master's in 4 years. Pretty impressive. At first I'd agree that the campus isn't breathtaking, but as I was going through some of my daughter's photos I realized I was wrong on that count; you just had to know where to look. As a parent I actually love the small campus size. It has fostered a feeling of safety as unique as its location (my other two kids went to larger schools, including the main campus at College Station), and allowed her the opportunity to get to know a large part of the campus population and truly enjoy the community and camaraderie that comes from being a Sea Aggie. Volunteer opportunities within school organizations abound, as well. We've had few issues with staff and she feels as if overall she is going to be well-prepared to enter an interesting segment of the workforce. Though not known as a party school, they of course have plenty of awesome nightlife available on the main island, and a safe, secluded campus to come home to. And at the end of the day, as it is a campus extension of the main campus (not a "baby Aggie" branch, a part of main campus) she's just ordered her Aggie Ring & is looking forward to being a graduate of Texas A&M. Seriously, what's not to love?
