SPENCER GOSMANO ’22
Orientation Team Leader | Finance major
Coming into my own New Student Conference just a couple of summers ago, I was terrified. Of what exactly? That’s something I still don’t have the answer to. Both my mother and my father are the class of 1993, and I practically grew up at either Olsen Field or Kyle Field. In spite of the fact that I lived just a short 75 minutes from Aggieland, I was still stressed about entering this new phase of life, which began with my NSC. I was terrified that if I missed one single detail throughout the course of my conference, it would invariably derail the next 4 years of my life (that’s not the case). Here are a couple of pro tips to be successful at your New Student Conference, from someone who has been closely involved with them.

If you’re considering living off campus while attending classes at Texas A&M, here are a few tips and resources that can help streamline the process of finding and securing housing. 
Beyond your New Student Conference, there are many opportunities for you to learn more about the history and traditions that encompass the Aggie spirit! Get involved through extended orientation opportunities or join a student organization to find your home in Aggieland.
