Texas A&M University at Galveston

I absolutely loved the tour I did here with my HS JROTC class!!! I was very amazed with all TAMUG had to offer its students, and where I wasn't able to apply here, I am so excited for my younger sister joining as a freshman this year pursuing a marine biology major! I hope she has as much fun here in the next few years as I did on the two hour tour.

By far the best college experience you can get at any maritime academy in the nation. I hated being a cadet at the time, but looking back I only remember the good times. I appreciated that it was still possible to get somewhat of a normal college experience, and that non-license option students make up a majority of the student population. Plus, I think the school has rid itself of most of the toxic maritime faculty, and is well on its way to living up to its potential. I just really hope they get a new ship soon.

This review is based on my first conversation with a campus employee. I will provide additional information after a visit & tour. I just completed an extremely helpful conversation with an employee in the Admissions Dept re tours, majors, name it-it was possibly asked 🤭 Everything was answered thoroughly with extra detail as needed. As a parent scheduling college visits, and passing info along to my Student to make decisions, this is an excellent beginning. My thanks to Steven for his helpfulness.

I go here almost every summer for a program called Sea Camp I would be in fishing it's really fun and they give you a lot of freedom which is really nice you get to socialize fish and do all sorts of stuff they teach you about different kind of fish we also go on a lot of trips which were really enjoyable some of the stuff we did changed through the years as one year we would go on a deep sea party boat to go deep sea fishing and the next year we would go on one of there private boats also we went to the marshes to fish they gave you a schedule and gave you alot of free time this is only to list some of the fun stuff we did and i would absolutely recommend it.
