Each semester as classes start on the Texas A&M campus, a team of Association staffers head out to bring Aggieland to former students via a photo and video tour, live on Twitter.
At the start of the Spring 2017 semester, we headed off campus to tour key locations in the cities of Bryan and College Station. We visited many locations that former students will remember, even if they don't recognize them due to all the changes over the years. We also took along a collection of old photos of these sites so we could compare how they look today to how they looked back in Ol' Army's day.

For our first back-to-school tour, at the start of the Fall 2015 semester, we toured central campus, peeked into a class in the Blocker Building, and ate lunch in a Sbisa that old Ags probably wouldn't recognize:

But there was still plenty they would recognize, including Legett and Walton halls, the Academic Building, and the MSC Flag Room:

For the start of the Fall 2016 semester, we collected several current students to join us, including the Corps commander, and headed out in the rain with a load of water, breakfast bars and rain ponchos for a tour of Academic Plaza, West Campus, and the Quad:
