New friends, new town, new experiences. A student's first time heading off to their new home-away-from-home at college can always be seen as a daunting and overwhelming experience. As you become part of the Aggie family, however, you'll quickly see that we fully believe that it is a memory to be cherished for a lifetime.

When you attend one of Texas A&M's New Student Conferences students and their families will be welcomed with open arms into the Aggie family. As you learn about what life will be like for the next 4 years (and beyond), you can immerse yourself in all the opportunities the University and College Station have to offer.

Every year, Family Weekend comes to Texas A&M at just the right time. Students are already wondering if the semester is ever going to end. Parents are eagerly awaiting the day they’ll have their student back under their own roof. Family Weekend is a break from it all.

Like any Texas A&M event, Family Weekend is pumped with Aggie pride. Campus and College Station alike are abuzz with families reuniting. Whether it’s a university-hosted event or a simple family meal, Family Weekend has a way of reconnecting students with their parents. It also may be among students’ first opportunities to introduce their parents to the Aggie way of life.
