I’m guessing the social conservatism rumors come from the large Corps of Cadets presence that act as the “face” of A&M.



And the fact that compared to most other universities, TAMU is very conservative. Take it from someone who did his undergrad somewhere else, TAMU is a very conservative school. That doesn’t mean you are going to get ostracized for being different or that you can’t find any more liberal people, it just means that the average ideology of the students is much more conservative than most other public schools.

The problem is, conservative does not necessarily mean closed-minded or hostile.
