I am probably in a unique position in the fact that I lived in both downtown Austin and downtown Atlanta in my life time. For a student, I would say UT. The college scene in Atlanta is really a bit odd for me. But if you loved it, my opinion does not matter at ALL. Where do you want to work when it is all said and done? I know SV recruits hard and heavy at UT, but I am unsure how many students GT sends to SV each year. Is that even important to you? If you love music, then UT hands down. If you enjoy heavy party scenes, dance clubs, etc, then GT. If Greek life is important, UT has a stronger greek scene but it is only 10% of male students so it is not isolating if you are not wanting to go greek. UT computer science is highly collaborative. This sure comes in handy when you have to write code that takes 40 hours a week and you are permitted to work in teams.
