What did everyone decide? My son ended up picking UT Arlington over UT Dallas. UTA awarded him $12000/year versus the $6000 from UTD plus tuition and room and board are around $2000 less. That is the difference between graduating with no loans versus loans. We also liked UTA’s campus a bit better. The dining hall at UTD was too far from the engineering buildings - a 1/2 mile each way. and UTD did not seem to offer dorms beyond Freshman year. His top choice at first was Texas A&M but with no merit scholarship and how crowded that campus is, plus their entry to major process we decided it was not worth it.
