Memorial Student Center/Texas A&M's College Union

The Memorial Student Center (MSC) is one of the busiest and most exciting buildings on campus. It is a living memorial to the students and former students of Texas A&M who gave their lives in defense of freedom.

The MSC is sometimes called a student union. But the MSC is much more than a place only for students--it is the community center of the University. It is the one place on campus where all members of the University family can come together in free association as citizens and partners.

The MSC provides a number of essential services and facilities for the University community: meeting rooms, three art galleries, a frame shop, food services, the bookstore, a class councils center, a ticket office, spacious lounges, a recreation area with bowling and billiards, a ballroom, hotel rooms, the Student Organizations Finance Center, a copy center and the Student Programs Office.

The MSC offers a learning environment which enhances the quality of life at Texas A&M and gives individual students an opportunity to get involved. Last year more than 1,800 students involved in the MSC produced more than 1,500 cultural, recreational, educational and entertainment programs and events which attracted an audience of nearly 450,000 people--mostly their fellow students. Any student can become involved by either attending an activity or by participating in the planning and organizing of these events.
