Exactly how "conservative" is Texas A&M?

I think you would be surprised how many liberal minded people are on the Texas A&M campus. I mean I heard a speech this semester from a student who is pro-assisted suicide. That is an issue I would claim to be extremely liberal.

Though, there’s the problem with answering this question. Liberal and conservative are relative to the individual.
Through my eyes, I see the school as Moderate. There are going to be people who fit the conservative bill on
every issue. Likewise, there will be those that fit the liberal bill on every issue. However, those numbers will pale
in comparison to the number of students who have a mix of views.

There is a large catholic/protestant population. That is to be expected, and if you are religious there will be plenty of places to go to practice your faith.

I personally have nothing against LGBT. I have been around for the student senate debacle over the choice not to fund the LGBT center if its against your views (this stood no chance considering many people pay state/federal taxes that go towards things they don’t approve of). Anyways, I wouldn’t call A&M’s campus welcoming towards the LGBT population, but I wouldn’t call it descriminatory either. Everyone can fit in once they find the right crowd.
