Texas A&M University is one of the most historic and tradition-laden schools in the SEC. From the yell leaders orchestrating the Midnight Yell to the gathering of students for the Silver Taps, the Aggie traditions are endless and equally awesome. The school’s military roots trace back to 1876, when TAMU opened near Bryan, Texas, as an all-male establishment known as the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas, or Texas A.M.C. Enrollment in the school’s Corps of Cadets was mandatory until 1965, and the school didn’t accept women until the year prior in 1964.

But first, a few honorable mentions found on the TAMU campus map and around town: Academic Building, Rudder Theatre Complex, Memorial Student Center, Cushing Memorial Library, Sbisa Dining Hall, Administration Building, Sam Houston Sanders Corps of Cadets Center, Reed Arena, Olsen Field, and the Museum of the American GI. Kyle Field “Home of the 12th man,” Kyle Field is a must-see and must-attend stadium on Aggie game days.

Bush Presidential Library and Museum Easily one of the coolest attractions, the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum has a full day’s worth of things to see and read — 44 million pages of papers and documents, to be exact. “Pennies for Sully” Sculpture Texas A&M students are well-acquainted with the sculpture of Lawrence Sullivan Ross, the president of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas from 1891-1898, who embodied the Texas Aggie spirit.
