21. Please comment on your overall educational experiences at Texas A&M and the Department of Agricultural Economics
It was the best experience I could have imagined
I had an amazing experience at Texas A&M and the department of AGEC. I learned an immense amount that will continue to help me in whatever I choose to do in life.
I've had a great overall educational experience at Texas A&M University in the department of agriculture Economics! All the professors I have had are wonderful! The environment is great and outgoing! I used the Agec Computer lab more than I ever thought I would! I loved it that this was accessible and was open for printing and studying!
My overall educational experience at Texas A&M has been phenomenal. Same goes for Dept of AGEC. After some confusion in my earlier years, I landed in the Ag dept and it could not have been a better fit for me and what I aspire to do post graduation. I have an immense pride for the University and will for life. I believe my education is superb and comparably better than any similar degree from a different, less renowned school. The tradition and spirit of the university is what is most important to be preserved. The AGEC dept should retain their high standards as to not water down the program in years to come.
This school has taught me a lot and has prepared me for what the future holds.
My experience overall with the Department of Agricultural Economic as been very pleasant! I have been able to grow as an individual and learn things about myself I never knew. Along the way, as a student, you know that you can go to anyone and ask for some help and someone will help. All the teachers are very knowledgeable and always looking for a way to help us understand any topic a little easier.
I felt my analytical skills were strongly developed through the program and enjoyed the professor's and what they had to teach to us students
I thought I received a high quality education from the AGEC department and even encourage others to come to the department.
