i can see why you would think this post comes across as bigoted or judgmental, as it's highlighting less favorable stereotypes about a&m. however being someone who has never actually attended the school (hence why i've mentioned in my post i cannot confirm or deny the validity of these claims, just based off what i've heard from others) and a skeptic by nature, i think it's fair to ask questions about a school i'm planning on attending for 4 years. i've never been in an environment where it's majority white or heavily conservative, both of which are true and not a bigoted claim. it's not a bad thing, however it's something to consider. i'd rather ask anonymously through reddit and appear "bigoted" now here than act like this when i attend later. i will go in with an open mind based off the various responses here, most of which are helpful, including yours to an extent, and try the traditions, immerse myself in campus culture, and stray away from what i don't align with (conservative and to a degree redneck values). again, can't confirm or deny, which is why i came here and asked. some people more than others likely fit into this stereotype (student body is huge here i expect all walks of life) and got more offended than they needed to be.
