Spread his cheeks*, he means cheeks.

However TA&M does have a good engineering program. LSU's isn't everything it could be. How do i know? Because i received my engineering degree from LSU and the teaching was not up to par.

Why not congratulate him and wish him well rather than ridiculing him on a message board?

A lot of people would love the opportunity to have an engineering degree from A&M.

Perhaps you acting like that is the reason he’s leaving as you don’t sound like father of the year.

I'm shocked choosing to live in TX for school and most likely live and work in TX.

Some will get their degree at LSU then cant wait to get the hell out and move to TX.

as did I, and I'll put it up against theirs any day, while aTm has a good engineering program(they have a bit of a delusional view of just how good it actually is,) probably the best thing about it would be the the networking, as they are very clannish, kind of like a big frat

A&m is 14 while lsu is not in the top 50

Not sayin this ranking is correct, but there is a large gap

The aTm jokes used to be funny but seeing the GIFs of those "yell leaders" is weirding me out. Without a doubt, you have to be a gay boy to sign up for that nonsense.

As someone who attended the engineering program at both schools I will say there are advantages and disadvantages for each. aTm is a more respected engineering program in most respects. Its a great school with an odd culture but one that tends to look after their graduates better than almost any other school. HAve a great networking connection in Texas if he plans to live their after school. Now, if he plans to live anywhere other than Texas the advantages tend to disappear. One thing I have noticed is there are Aggies and then everyone else here in Texas. Aggies tend to hire aggies, but you will also be at a disadvantage for many fanbases that don't like them as some wont hire aggies. As an LSU grad they tend to have more indifference.

Pros : He will get a great education and he will probably meet his future husband there.

Cons : He won't see his team win against LSU while he is there.
