<p>My main issue, especially from what I’ve observed, is that the conservative reputation A&M has, is not entirely deserved, and is more based on southern, rural stereotypes. It’s a big school with lots if different viewpoints, and anyone can find their niche. That’s the beauty of big state schools. </p>
<p>And yes, majority of A&M students vote republican, but there is mutual respect on both sides, and people respect each other. No one is going to forcibly shove their beliefs on you, or deride you for your views.
I think you need to be more specific than just saying it’s too conservative. Do you want an intellectual, less pre-professional student body, or a school in an urban area? A&m likely wouldn’t be great for you then. </p>
<p>Personally I think not considering a school because it’s too liberal or too conservative is a little bit close minded.
But to each his/her own I guess. Try to take a visit and see for your self. If it doesn’t click, then no regrets. Plenty of other good options in Texas including UT, UTD, Trinity, Rice etc.</p>
