nweido,

i was in the same situation that you were in a few years ago. i did not have many options other than UT and ND and one or two others. as much as i liked ND when i visited, i was not totally obsessed with it to the point where i couldn’t stop talking about it. i realized UT was awesome because it is in Austin, is warmer, prettier girls, closer to home (more “homey” feeling) and less expensive. but i also decided that i needed a change of scene. i have bee n able to carve out a niche for myself out here and things have worked out well. it can be kind of hard some times when the weather is rough or you wish “home” were more accessible, but i have had some of the greatest moments of my life here and i have changed as a person. i am not sure if that would have happened at UT. and you are right about the flexibility of ND’s academic programs. you will be locked in at mccombs where as FYS gives you a freer range of options.
