It is like comparing apples to oranges here. One degree is architecture and the other is interior design. Do you want to become an architect or become an interior designer? I know that it is probably easier to start with architecture and then you can get into interior design once you graduate with the architecture knowledge.

If I were you I would go to UT considering it is in-state and the high rank. Architecture is a more prestigious degree than interior design and after you get your B.Arch you could easily go into architecture, interior design, engineering, real estate, etc. Interior Design seems too limiting to me but if that is what you love, than do it.

However, Pratt’s NYC location is great for being surrounded by all the buildings and construction projects. Have you looked into Pratt for architecture? They are also a top 10 architecture school and you can easily minor in interior design if you want.
