 A PLACE TO CALL HOME

Texas A&M’s main campus is located in Bryan-College Station, Texas. The twin cities of Bryan and College Station have served as the adopted hometown for generations of Aggies. Both cities have grown exponentially just as Texas A&M has grown, and each is a welcoming, diverse community that continues to grow and thrive. And it’s considered one of the best places to live in Texas, according to Niche.com, based on cost of living, quality of public schools, job opportunities, crime rate and local amenities.

LIVING IN BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION

Because of the emphasis that Texas A&M places on research and learning, there are numerous nationally recognized centers, labs and institutes that are part of the academic experience of Texas A&M. These are found at the main campus in Bryan-College Station as well as at branch campuses in Galveston, Texas and Doha, Qatar.

English Language Resources for Graduate Instructors

Our university has a Center for Teaching Excellence (CTE), and in my opinion, it is a must-use resource for all graduate students. Having worked as a graduate teaching consultant and collaborator of multiple CTE programs, I personally benefitted a lot from this experience, and also heard many positive feedbacks from my peers, including both domestic and international graduate students. Whether you@re currently a teaching assistant or an instructor, or you will become one sometime in the future, you should all take advantage of our CTE resources.
