My little brother attends Texas A&M currently and he didn’t like it at first, the lack of diversity and the conservative vibe is apparent. He’s making the best of it, and he’s made many friends, none of which are white. Many are from different parts of the world, but as an Indian muslim he does feel the lack of diversity. He only goes there because of the great engineering college, and after all the main purpose of going to college is to get a good degree isnt it?

PS: Texas A&M had to open a diversity office just to address this issue, and although they are aware of the problem, it takes effort and most importantly time to change a culture.
When I was at the Sbisa dining hall recently I saw a few anti-racist buttons on some kids backpacks, which is weird and should be a MAJOR red-flag.

But the fact remains, TAMU is a great school with strong technical majors. As far as academics are concerned TAMU is one of the best public schools in Texas, and the South in general.
