Which School Do You Think is Better?

Obviously A&M is the best choice because that's where I'm going, so it's automatically awesome. Haha, just kidding. But really, I'd like to reiterate what everyone else said, it really all depends on the atmosphere you're looking for. I live in Austin, and I won’t lie to you, UT is full of some weeeeiiiirrrrddd people. There are a lot of out there liberal artsy type people that end up at UT Austin. Also, UT Austin is probably the most difficult one to get into. If you’re not in the top 10% or have not done anything super duper outstanding and stellar you probably won’t get in. It’s just that they get a ton of applicants and because of the top 10% law that’s pretty much the only people they can accept. You’re also more likely to get a better financial aid package from the other three schools. I know of a few people who got full rides to UTD. Also, if you like girls don’t go to Texas Tech, because their female population constitutes about 33% of their student body. A&M is nice because College Station is really small and cozy; Austin is huge and busy. If you like the small town atmosphere A&M is really good for that. That’s one of the big reasons that I chose A&M (also I’ve lived in Austin my whole life and wanted a change, and A&M has a vet program). A&M has a lot of research opportunities, but I think that’s true for all of the schools. A&M has research in nuclear stuff if you’re at all interested in that.

So, I guess this question would be a little easier to answer if we knew a little more about what you like and don’t like. Because each school is so incredibly different a little more personal info would help.
