ND or UT at Austin?

Thank you to everyone is has been trying to help me out. After visiting UT today and touring around with a friend of mine who is in her sophomore year there I have made a decision. I am now a Domer! Here is why:

UT lacked a sense of solidarity (compared to ND)
No house system
There are a mix of people who I just didnt get a good vibe from. I like the people at ND better (seem more friendly)
UT didn’t seem very collegiate to me. ND has no major streets running through it and the campus is unified. UT has some very dirty parts and I was accosted by a hobo who wanted money for hookers and slip and slide
When I begin my studies how often am I just going to be around with nothing to do?
The dorms at UT are kinda crappy, at least I was not impressed with Dobie where I have a room. Even though my room is private, after ND I don’t want a private dorm. I would be too isolated feeling.
After a long day of trecking around campus I was tired and was not liking the idea of returning to Dobie
ND has a beautifully maintained campus
UT was dirty
Where was everybody on the UT campus? Everyone was out at ND

Even though ND may not be the “perfect” fit right out the gate, I feel it is the better fit for me and my personality. I also noticed that while I was at ND it grew on me every minute. While at UT I did not get this feeling.

Thanks again!
