I spoke with Shane Savage regarding what the outdoor range renting process is and he was super friendly and patient with my questions and guided me through it. It is super simple. You reserve a date and time and hopefully it's open, he sends you a confirmation text and you simply show up. He met with me, gave me a wagon with a fold-up table, free paper target (per person), a staple gun, a bucket to collect your brass, and fold-up chairs. It was a smaller range, but perfect for us, There were both wooden target stands to hang your targets (free to use) and steel targets (for $5 extra or $1 extra for more paper targets). My sons and I were the only ones there so it was nice and private. We signed a waiver, setup our own station, put up targets, and had fun safely shooting your weapon(s). The range is about 50yds, but I specifically brought my kids here so they'd get used to a few of our home defense additions at a realistic distance. He does ask that you pick up and collect your trash and brass. I'd recommend bringing water to drink and a trash bag for your convenience. There is a restroom available. It's a field, so there's really enough parking for you. Shane sits in his truck for the duration of your stay and for any questions or requests that you may have later on. The range is $20 to rent for 2 hours per person, but if you come with more people, there's a discounted price. It was $45 for the 3 of us. I know Shane also teaches classes on safety and other courses, but we've never used those services, but according to the numerous 5 star Google reviews that I've read, it's safe to assume he's an amazing instructor. Very friendly and professional. We will definitely be back in the near future. Mahalo Shane!

For…read morethe past two years, our kid was enrolled in one of the top rated daycare's in the area, but our experience there did not corroborate that of a top daycare. We were starting to get discouraged that there weren't any good daycare's out there, and then we found Kiddie Academy. The staff is friendly, the teachers are energetic and very attentive to the kids, the facility is clean and perfect for the constant changing needs of kids as they grow, and on top of all that you get camera access to see your kid whenever you want!

They had a bunch of wood block prints of the same guy who did the famous print of a tsunami wave crashing in front of Mount Fuji. Cool! The gallery had thoughtfully placed interpretive signs throughout the gallery talking about the significance of the pieces and a bit of info about each piece, along with the artists' names, and the media used. They also had a separate area for a specific artist, where they could spread out and show off a variety of works in 2 and 3 dimensions. There was an attendant on duty, but she kept to herself, other than welcoming me in, and thanking me for stopping by. Near the exit, scope out the free stuff! Instead of a store, they just ask for a small donation- I got a bunch of postcards, a few books, and a pencil! Score! The gallery is a quiet respite from the student union. It has limited seating, and I'm not sure if this is an appropriate place to bring a book and read for hours. But if you just need a change of pace after getting lunch at the student union, this is a great place to check out. It's free!

Truthfully, I…read morenever bought books here when I was student because I was always able to find them cheaper at the off campus stores. But, I will say the amount of Aggie merchandise is outstanding! Way more then you'd ever find at the other outfitter creation stores. They care several higher quality name brands too. Ladies- the women's selection is great! If you want something sporty yet still flattering, come here! It may cost a little more but with brands like Columbia, Jansport, and Under Armor, I think it's worth it. I also this it's great how many Aggie written books you can find here. They often host book signings by former classmen who have authored books. With the remodeling of the MSC, a full size convenient store and a Starbucks with lounge have been added. Really great place to take visitors. Fair warning on gamedays though... the place gets extremely packed, but thankfully they set up line control at the registers so help get people on their way.

On this visit there was a temporary exhibition of glass paperweights. You might think you've seen enough of those at antique malls, but the artistry and quality of this collection is pretty amazing. There were so many display cases well lit to show off the colors and geometry, some with figures or historical designs, many abstract decorative pieces, all pretty stunning works of art. But even more breathtaking is a new acquisition of an antique diorama made entirely of carved bovine bones representing Chinese pagodas with stands of bamboo and trees, numerous figures in the gardens fishing, flying kites, or other activities, all in roughly 1/48 scale. Everything is so intricately detailed you could stare at it for hours admiring the artistry and time it must have taken to finish. And you'll be pulled in by the stories told by each figure going about his business in such a marvelous setting. This gallery presumably changes regularly so I would definitely go back again. Their collection includes glass objects by Tiffany, paintings, and more. The admission was free when I visited on a Saturday, which was appreciated. There's some difficulty parking since it's on campus with complicated one-way streets and the only option may be the nearby garage that appears to charge $3 an hour, but it's worth it!

The programming has flourished with the completion of the new building, and it is a wonderful space that several organizations within the Jewish community here utilize. Everyone at Hillel is very welcoming, and there are a variety of options for those who are interested in being involved in Jewish life on campus. There are social, religious, and learning opportunities, and students are encouraged to explore Judaism in ways that are the most comfortable to them! Shabbat dinners are great, and the staff are very open to feedback from students. Hillel also has connections to many opportunities through Hillel International, AIPAC, Birthright, etc., and many students (including myself) have been able to go on heavily subsidized trips. I met some of my best friends here, so if you are new to College Station you should definitely stop by on Friday night!
