Nestled in the heart of the Houston-Dallas-Austin triangle, Texas A&M University at College Station is the state`s largest university, with nearly 65,000 students calling Aggieland home, and another 5,200 Aggies are studying at branch campuses in Galveston, Texas, and Doha, Qatar.

Bush Presidential Library and Museum is located on Texas A&M`s campus, as is the President and First Lady`s final resting places.
