<p>My son was accepted at both schools and we are going through the same discussion at our house. However, we are in state for Michigan which would make the tuition more reasonable. Weather would be better in Texas during the winter but Michigan would get the nod from April through October. Austin is a larger city with lots of traffic during normal rush hours. Sports better at Texas. Michigan is more of a national school with many (34%) international and out-of-state students enrolled for fall of 2008 while Texas is more regional with approximately 6% international and out-of-state students. If you wanted to stay in the south to work UT would be the choice, if the Midwest or east coast was your preference then Michigan would be the better choice. Then again it may all depend on what your daughter wants to study.</p>
