Personal comments
The Dixie Chicken is a Texas A&M, College Station Landmark. The place known as North side is great to go out and have a beer and meet up with friends. The football season is always a good occasion to attend the games and have a good time.

Personal comments
To clarify things out. Texas A&M was my home university at the moment. I was there as an international student and not as an exchange student. I signed up voluntarily for the Corps R.O.T.C Millitary program. The housing provided was within the Corps dormitories. As a freshman in the Corps one is not allowed to have much and the shared rooms most be arranged according to military specificains. I enjoyed the experience a lot.

I had lived in Houston, Texas, years prior to attending A&M. This university was my home university. I was an international student, not an exchage student. I therefore had no problems at all with the language or communicating.
