me.duh, I didn’t realize you used to live in College Station. That’s my hometown. In fact I’m here right now for the summer working at Texas A&M in the physics department. I return to Rice soon, though.

I would have gone to UT over A&M any day though. But that is just me. I didn’t like the cult-like appearance that A&M had. I wanted to get out of town, plus the university as a whole was way to conservative. And I hate seeing huge trucks be the majority of vehicles.

UT is a lot more liberal and Austin is a lot more fun. College Station isn’t that bad, but Austin still wins.

Academically, UT will win at just about anything.

I used to see the two schools as about equal, but as soon as I got into studying colleges, I realized UT was vastly superior to A&M. That being said, depending on one’s personality, both schools can be great fits.
