A&M Student Housing

Though not the first general university in the state, A&M University was the first public institution of higher education in Texas and was opened on October 4, 1876.

Today, A&M’s designation as a land, sea, and space grant institution reflects a range of research with ongoing projects funded by distinguished agencies such as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, and the Office of Naval Research. In fact, the school ranks in the top 20 American research institutes in terms of funding.

Home to more than 50,000 students and 4,259 faculty members, A&M student housing is an important part of the real estate College Station offers.
