A bit late to the party, but to give some very short and sweet answers:
- No.
- Neither, they are equal.
- Both are state schools with a relatively academically diverse student body, so there won’t be much difference between these.
- Again, these will be comparable. Finding differences here is splitting hairs at best.
- Neither of these is particularly known for leaning more towards research or industry, both being known in both areas.
In sum, choose based on fit/cost/gut here. The CS programs, especially with Turing at UT, are incredibly similar experiences. This decision should be made on other factors.
