Aggieland Saturday is the biggest open house Texas A&M University offers and is a time when Texas A&M hopefuls, accepted students and their families visit College Station to get a taste of life in Aggieland.

This year, more than 17,000 visitors attended over 200 events across campus. From educational presentations to tours and marketplaces, Aggie ring try-ons and many other activities, the goal is to help students of any age envision themselves as Aggies.

An Official Introduction to the Aggie Experience

While attendees can learn more about Texas A&M's 16 colleges and schools, admissions, scholarships and financial aid, Aggieland Saturday is often the first official introduction to the Aggie experience for prospective students.

That's where the Division of Student Affairs provides opportunities during the day's events for students and their families to learn how they can get connected and make the most of four years on a campus of more than 77,000 students.

Several of the division's 14 departments, including the Career Center, Music Activities, Rec Sports, Residence Life and Student Life, showcased campus life, introduced traditions, made connections to meaningful opportunities and helped prospective students begin their journey to find their place at Texas A&M.

The division said "Howdy" to more than 5,000 attendees at Residence Life's events alone. From informational booths and presentations to residence hall tours and the Aggie Band marching in with the Corps, the Division of Student Affairs introduced the endless opportunities the Aggie Experience presents to students.
