He lives in a very decent house and pays full price lunch. He also says that his parents will pay for his full tuition, despite the fact that he gets TOPS (Taylor Opportunity whatever) if he chooses to attend a Louisiana college.</p>
<p>University of New Orleans (aka UNO) is a regular school. It is not a wonderful school. As Ghostayame says that his instructor seems and feels successful in his career. LSU is a better school, and I assume LSU would be a good choice for him.</p>
<p>Let me state my question in another way. One thing I (not him) am concerned is if he attends LSU rather than UT Austin, does that limits his success? I know business does care about schools…if I work out of state. In Louisiana, people tend to ignore the difference of schools.</p>
<p>Ghostayame:
I mean mostly the list includes state schools and Ivies. I think MIT and Stanford would be too intense for him to go. If SMU (where I applied and rejected) has good engineering programs, I would recommend it to him. Do you agree on that?</p>
<p>Thanks for supporting what I think. What school are you attending?</p>
