Thank you guys so much. I also heard the general rule for college loans is to loan no more than how much your first year salary will be. My debt will be slightly less than half that, so I guess I’m fairly ok.

I do want to get an MBA, but only if the job market is bad when I graduate. If I can get a good paying job, however, I’ll work on it on the side (and most companies reimburse graduate school tuition).

I’ve visited both Austin (many times) and Dallas, and Austin is clearly the livelier and “better” city and university. I think the experience will be worth the extra money, and since you guys think I should go for it, I will. :)
