Exactly how "conservative" is Texas A&M?

It is true that my kids were there over the summer but ate in the cafeteria, researched in the library, and were with students who were very interested in attending TAMU (that’s why they were there). Also my son actually had TAMU students in one of his classes. My daughter’s camp was run by TAMU students. Plus, I’m from Texas and have known a lot of families who have kids there, have had kids there or are interested in applying. Also knew a prof who taught there. So, I think I have a general perspective on the place based on these things. Really hate to get into a conservative/liberal- who is more tolerant debate. I don’t know why people get so reactionary about saying that TAMU is on the conservative side of things. You’ll find tolerance/intolerance on both sides. My kids just wouldn’t feel comfortable there. They grew up seeing Leslie, after all. It’s all about fit.
