At Texas A&M, your experience is what you make of it. Believe it or not, there are racists and obscene people at every major university in the U.S. Because most universities and colleges in the U.S. are liberal, some people will give a negative slant towards the schools that are more right-leaning, like Texas A&M. You may ask, why is A&M more conservative and less diverse than a school like UT? The answer simply comes down to A&M’s rich militaristic history, as well as its rural location – both of which liberals and/or minorities don’t commonly identify with. From my experiences here, most people are friendly and don’t care what race or religion you are. I am personally friends with individuals from countries like Spain, Mexico, Nepal, India, Argentina, Trinidad, and some others. Personally, I’d say that’s a pretty diverse friend-base. They have never talked to me about bad experiences at A&M.

If you are wanting to attend a liberal, very diverse university, A&M may not be for you. Visit the school, talk to students attending, and see what they think. Most people at A&M are very friendly, and like me, could care less if you are white, black, brown, yellow, orange, or green.
