My friend has a question

<p>Thanks for making sure because I am not confident about the rankings.
Can you tell me about the “break” LSU gives to Texans? I’ve never heard about that.
I am not sure if he would like A&M, but he seems to dislike rural colleges. One day he and I went to a school trip to a rural college in state. He said that he felt like if he was imprisoned. I know every college is different, but he also said that he would like to go to a city school because he belives his life would be more than just college.
It would be a good idea for him to apply Texas schools because Texas are very strong in computers, but he would have a hard time trying to get in because he is not a Texan. The only schools that seems legit for him is UT Austin. SMU and TCU are private schools, but they don’t look like they have good engineering programs, as they are ranked even worst than LSU. For me,it would be dumb for a person to apply schools out of state that are similar to LSU, and he would be free going there. What do you think?
Can you give me some names that have decent engineering programs?
He is a very smart kid, and he is a kind of person that loves to study. He makes good grades. I know him for over a year. He seems like a person that can be very successful. However, he seems very stressful about colleges and I really really want to help him out.</p>
