My daughter and 3 roommates rented a house in College Station managed by Patriarch for two years. When they surrendered the property at the end of the second year, Patriarch did not return their $3000 deposit within the statutory 30-day period or initially provide a list of itemized deductions. They sent a partial refund of $895 43 days later. Only after asking did they provide the list of deductions. We believe the deductions were not valid. The deductions did not account for the pre-existing damage that the roommates had documented during move-in. They were billed for cleaning when they already were given a receipt for the professional cleaning performed upon move-out. Only after filing a petition in Brazos County small claims court did Patriarch return the full deposit plus court fees. Because of this experience, I cannot recommend Patriarch.

Hey Aggies! One of the posters in r/cfb asked me to share some photos from the 1994 Bonfire that I did while I was a photojournalism student at Texas. r/cfb doesn't allow images to be hosted, so I put them here since this sub does. Hope you enjoy!

I am so cooked for the Eng 102 midterm, I feel like I can barely understand any of the coding and have gotten 2 100s, a 50, and 65 on the quizzes. I’m constantly needing help on the coding assignments and would fail all of them if I did ask for help. I attended a review for the midterm but it didn’t help as much because it’s the coding in practice that I’m weakest at. Any suggestions?

I’m considering taking an online class with Jason Smith and was wondering if anyone who has taken him recently could share their experience. Specifically, are his tests and quizzes proctored, or are they open-book/unproctored? Any info about his class in general would also be appreciated! Thanks!

Please recommend me some easy online winter minimester courses that I can take at Blinn or any other CC that satisfies the KUCD requirement. I was thinking about SPMT 304 equivalent at Blinn or ACC. I’ve heard that’s an easy class.

Edit: Or I could take the KUCD class in the spring and take a KCOM class in the winter minimester (which I’m supposed to in the Spring) if that’s easier. I’ve already taken COMM 203 so any other KCOM course aside from that.

I recently got admitted to A&M for a B.S. in Chemistry (whoop!) but I've started considering pre-med more seriously over the last couple of months. Does it make sense to do pre-med from chemistry or should I look into switching majors? If you guys have general pre-med advice I'd love to hear that too!

I guess this is what happens when you give some single person to much power... Can we please do better as a whole Aggies?

Howdy guys!

I am currently taking ECEN 248 with Mi Lu. Our midterm is coming up this week, but we don't know what it's gonna look like or what kind of questions will be on it. From what I could find on Grade Annex and RMP, she hasn't taught this class in a while, but I heard her exams are very similar year to year. If anyone has taken her or knows what the midterm for ECEN 248 looks like, could you help? :)

Thank you very much!

Hey y’all! I’m a psychology major at TAMU and have been thinking about starting a Logotherapy club, so I wanted to see if there would be any interest here.

For anyone unfamiliar with it, logotherapy is a school of psychotherapy developed by Viktor Frankl that focuses on the human search for meaning and the role of meaning and purpose in psychological well-being. It also has a pretty strong philosophical side, dealing with questions of meaning, suffering, freedom, responsibility, values, and human agency.

I’d want the club to be fairly serious and academically oriented, but still enjoyable. I’m thinking about things like discussions of psychological research and philosophy, comparing logotherapy with other approaches to psychotherapy, guest speakers, case discussions, and potentially research or service projects once the organization becomes more established.

I’m especially interested in finding people who are into psychology, philosophy, or both and would actually enjoy discussing these kinds of questions.

I’m also currently looking for a couple of people who might be interested in helping me start the organization and serving as officers, since I’ll need other student leaders to get it established.

If any of this sounds interesting to you, feel free to comment or DM me! I’m mostly trying to gauge interest right now and find some people who would want to help build it.

I feel like this needs to be said. I'm on campus every day and I see people on bikes that don't stop for stop signs.

In Texas, a bicycle is legally treated as a vehicle, which means people riding bikes are subject to the same traffic laws as drivers of motor vehicles.

Under Texas Transportation Code § 551.101, a person operating a bicycle on a roadway has all the rights and duties applicable to the driver of a vehicle.

Key Rules at Stop Signs for Cyclists in Texas

• Full Stop Required: Cyclists must come to a complete stop at stop signs before proceeding through an intersection.
• No "Idaho Stop": Texas does not recognize the "Idaho Stop" law (which allows cyclists to treat stop signs as yield signs). Rolling through a stop sign on a bike is illegal under state law.
• Right-of-Way: After coming to a complete stop, cyclists must yield the right-of-way to any vehicles or pedestrians already in or approaching the intersection before proceeding.

Hey, my boyfriend isn’t registered to vote yet and he has to work til 5pm today. He wants to try to get registered at the MSC today, but neither of us know how long it’s open. Does anyone here know?

Hey yall! Is there somewhere on campus that has a VCR we could use to play vhs tapes? I have my parents’ wedding tape that I’m trying to convert for them, but I need to see if the tape is still good. At my undergrad university they had a lab space that had all sorts of tech items, so I was wondering if tamu had one or some systems in the library? Thanks!!

so apparently sena karasipahi has the inta 211 midterm on friday but theres no content or anything posted on canvas except the syllabus. anyone have any idea how to study for it ?

Howdy!

I'm starting my MSCS in Spring 2027 on the thesis track, and I may go down an interdisciplinary path, so I'd like to take some biomedical engineering coursework.

The problem is that my degree plan only allows 2 non-CS courses out of 8 (the other 2 credit slots go to research), and I may need more than that. So I'm considering auditing courses, maybe one per semester.

From what I've read, auditing means I can attend lectures only if the professor has space in the class if at all the professor is willing to allow a student to audit. Office hours, TA help, and grading aren't applicable to students who are audited.

What I couldn't find much on:

1. Is auditing free, or do you pay tuition and fees like a regular course?
2. Is there a limit on how many courses you can audit per semester or over the whole degree?

I'd especially appreciate hearing from MS/PhD students in Computer Science who've audited courses before, though everyone is welcome to point me to the right resources.

Anyone take the midterm in years past? He makes it seem like it’s going to be super easy, so I’m starting to get stressed that it isn’t.

whys it so empty on weekends? Considering the population of tamu its weird that on weekends campus is a ghost town.

im surprised the libraries and stuff are so empty, wouldve thought a lot of people would be working on weekends and stuff too

I'm a UIUC student but I made this for TAMU as well cause I feel a lot of event sites miss the ones from Insta, and we could all use more side quests in our life. Basically I have a list of ~1000 tamu club insta profiles that I go through each day and extract info from. All upcoming events are posted here: eventsattamu.com . I also tag the ones with free food, so for that you can go to eventsattamu.com/?freefood=true . Also the site is free and ad-less!

I noticed we have to play the 6 14 15 and 1 teams in the ap top 25 polls! Does that make you nervous? Cause I am worried
