How conservative… that is a hard question to answer but with a population in the neighborhood of 50K you know that everyone isn’t cut from one mold. My S, a liberal minded environmentalist is completely comfortable on campus. When he first started he commented on how polite and helpful everyone was. The lifestyle is very different than at an inner city school like UT so the question of what the student is comfortable with goes beyond the question of it being conservative. I would expect a kid craving city life would not be happy at TAMU… If the student is looking for a friendly cohesive environment with lots of spirit with college town amenities it is a wonderful choice. Will you find groups of politically and religiously charged students? Definitely, but it all depends on the company you choose. We saw similar groups when we toured the UT campus as well. A school that big has it all.
