I’d go with UT, just because it’s one of those schools that there is something special about. UT goes way beyond its prestige levels or whatever. It is true that they have many of the nation’s top programs in business, political science, medicine, science, etc… but that has nothing to do with what makes UT great. You’ll go to Texas and love it there. First it will be a shock, you’ll cringe every time you hear “y’all”, but then it will grow on you and you’ll realize how nice people are in Texas.

You’ll get all of the seasons like you had back home, but it’s a good compromise in Austin between having the seasons and having wonderful weather all year long. You’ll learn to love Mexican food and steakhouses, and you’ll see why Austin is just about the grooviest city in the nation…one with a lot of cultural assets, important outdoor music festivals like SXSW and Austin City Limits, a huge alt rock scene, and just about the best job market in the world for recent college graduates.

I’m just saying…it’s hard to go wrong picking between UT and UCLA, so for me, it would really come down to the environment. I would personally choose Austin over LA any day of the week.
