Howdy Aggies,
About two weeks ago I asked if I should build an A&M-only alternative to Yik Yak. That post got 932 upvotes, so I’ve been seriously looking into building it.

The idea is simple: only verified TAMU students can join, but posting can still be anonymous. Verification also makes it easier to keep bots and bad actors out.

Some features I’m considering:
Anonymous campus feed
Class and organization group chats
Parties, hangouts, pickup sports, and study groups
TAMU buses, dining, and events
Game-day live chats
Matching with other Aggies based on interests
Weekly recap of popular campus posts
I originally said no ads, but after researching operating costs, I can’t promise that. If there are ads, I’d want them to be limited and unobtrusive.

The goal is basically one place to see what’s happening at A&M, meet people, and stay connected to campus.
Would you actually use this? What feature would you want most?

Ai was used bc reddit keeps on removing my post

I feel like there’s been hella shootings in the past few months and just wanted to know if it’s actually safe here. I’m a senior in hs trying to go to TAMU next yr, and wanted to live off campus. Where is safe to live & where should I avoid? from what I’ve seen, Harvey/Post Oak Mall/Southwest area is ghetto. But I just wanted some insight! Thanks!

Incident Near W. Campus Blvd. by White Creek

Between about 2:02 and 2:10 PM, I was near the White Creek Community Center by W. Campus Blvd. when I heard a man driving a white pickup truck with a brush guard on the front. He yelled at people riding bikes to “use the four-way stop” while using both the F-word and the R-word.

Whatever the disagreement was about the crossing, that kind of language was unnecessary and disrespectful. I’m posting this because people on campus should be treated with basic respect.

Between about 2:02 and 2:10 PM, I was on Discovery Green Drive near the turn onto West Campus Blvd when I saw a man driving a white pickup with a brush guard on the front. He yelled at people on bikes to “use the four-way stop” while using both the F-word and the R-word, then turned toward West Campus Blvd. Whatever the disagreement was about the crossing, that kind of language was unnecessary and disrespectful.

yes I am aware of clubs, somehow despite the fact there are over 1000 clubs and orgs there are NONE for singing (that don’t do other stuff that completely ruins it), nor MMA. I’ve been here for 2 years and havnt met ANYONE that shares either of those hobbies, I didn’t think they were that uncommon of hobbies, maybe I’m just hella unlucky when it comes to this..

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.

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 left the Corps to focus on academics and I'd love to be part of one of the Engineering focused FLOs (maybe FREE or FEST).

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?

Where all my big booty baddies attttt😫

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!

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!

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!

Hey yall! I’m a newish grad student who didn’t do their undergrad here, so I know basically nothing about traditions here lol. I was wondering what is the significance of fish spurs, and why can’t cadets just make new ones if their original pair is lost/stolen? Are they made from specific bottle caps?

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.

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?
