State schools in Texas were standardized tuition when I went. Considering both are public institutions, I can't imagine how it's even possible that Texas would cost $5 more than TAMU much less $20000. In fact, I was there for 3 years and it was barely $20,000 total. Even out of state tuition when I was there was under $8000 a semester. Perhaps you were holding the brochure upside down.

Hoodies are fine if they fit well and are not festooned with a dragon or similar absurdity. Hoodies are wardrobe staples these days and have their time and place. Just don't wear one to the prom and don't wear nuthin but hoodies.

I'm out of state.

TAMU gives me an out-of-state tuition waiver, so I pay in-state, which amounts to about 20,000 a year (total cost: tuition, room and board, books, transportation, etc.) before scholarships. UT's out of state is about 40,000 (total cost) before scholarships.

Plus UT doesn't have the Corps, which is something I really want to do now.

Alright, let's not make this a hoodie debate. I'm not wearing one.

I'm just looking for general suggestions on patterns/colors/style's/accessories/etc for my hair color, face shape, body type, height.

You should probably start by going down a size. Most people think that their size is larger than is truly is.

I also like green, light green, and purple as "my colors."

Thanks for the advice guys.

Also, jeans-wise, I've found my pair of jeans, I love them, and they're durable, and they look decent too. I'm set for jeans.
What jeans?

One thing to consider, and i am not kidding at all, is that 98% of the clothing we will suggest to you here will be VERY out of place at college station especially in the Corps. Simply something to keep in mind.

As far as simple suggestions go, I'd say avoid tartans and busy traditional plaids since you are so large. With your build and look, they are just going to make you look like a farmboy.

Also, what jeans?

I think your sperrys, jeans, and polo look should be fine. Just make sure everything fits well, the jeans are dark (this'll make you look slimmer) and the polos don't have any gaudy logos.

Gotta be honest, I can't be terribly specific. I checked out the tags, and can't tell you anything other than that they are from Buckle.

I got them for Christmas last year from my Grandma, and I love them, they fit great and look pretty good too.

post a picture of them.

I'd say these are probably pretty close, but mine are a little darker.

I don't think you're looking for what this place has to offer.

 

[grundletaint]

hanes and levis if you're gonna be losing 30 lbs. drop the cash on nice stuff after that.

TRUST, u'll love A&M. I actually had the option of both and decided I needed a little taste of the Southern living. It's a great little college town when you learn how to milk it. Great parties - Everyone is legitmately nice!
