Down in College Station, you’ll find Texas A&M, a land-grant school founded in 1876. It started as a military institute, and that spirit still runs deep. Students here are called Aggies, and they have more traditions than you can shake a stick at—like the "12th Man" tradition where fans stand ready to jump into a game.
But here’s a secret: the campus is home to the Bonfire Memorial, a somber yet beautiful tribute to the spirit of community. It reminds you that even the oldest schools are about people coming together. Plus, their mascot is a live collie dog named Reveille. A dog that outranks every student? Yes, please.
