a question from an ardent liberal

<p>from the title, you can get my political persuasion. As i look for colleges, i am looking at a few in Texas and was wondering how large of a conservative population i'm looking at? specifically southwestern university. I don't care if it's like mostly conservative, i just really don't want to be a lonely liberal. Or to not have anyone who shares my views. I want to open up to new ideas, just not on my own..
So, is looking at Texas a mistake?(i don't mean to sterotype, i just want to know)</p>
