Admissions

Students who are thinking about coming here should definitely come to the High School Senior Day. This day is set aside for any high school senior that is interested in attending AAMU. I went and it really helped me lock in my decision about this school. The students get to eat free, get a detailed tour of the campus, and get to watch a free football game. It is really exciting!

This school is not and has never been known for its vibrant student life so it is up to you to become involved. Make sure to get involved with two or three organizations your first semester because that will help you meet people and build your network. Having good friends is a key to success at AAMU. There are no real campus stores and communication of events can be non existent sometimes so trust me friends will greatly improve your time here. AAMU is fairly small so teachers will know your personally and the people around you will know your face.

If you attend AAMU get involved in at least one of the many organizations or sports teams on campus, establish relationships with your teachers, and have fun. Also remember to have good time management skills or you can fall behind or off the success train. Also talk to financial aid about working on campus with either work study or bi-weekly.

If you have A&M on your list, be sure to visit so that you can check out the atmosphere. Just be prepared to attend school for work, and don't get distracted!

Make sure you get involved with campus activities and organizations. Also make sure to network while you are here.

Come to college with an open mind and remeber the reason why you came to college. A lot of students forget their priorites/ set them to the side, and end up not doing well at this institution. Always have a buddy with you after the sun goes down and make sure you do not get into the car with someone you do not know.

Take your time making new friends. Use your social media networks, if needed, to help you navigate around campus and classrooms.

My tips to prospective students is to make yourself and our name known before you even become a student and that will cause your benefits to kick in quicker.
