<p>All I know is I met a heck of a lot of Texas guys in the Navy. Which is a lot more than I can say for New York or California or Florida or Massachusetts. Especially New York and Massachusetts…states where guys talk tough and act tough on every corner…</p>
<p>I’m sure they’re scarred for life.</p>
<p>I don’t get why even if UCLA has more sports championships than UT that would equate to being sexier. UT has better museums and libraries than UCLA (e.g., nothing on any US campus compares to UT’s Ransom Center, for example, but the Houghton (Harvard) and Beinecke (Yale) come close) - does that make UT intellectually sexier?</p>
<p>ucla just seems more attractive than ut though. </p>
<p>-hot girls
-sunny california, next to the beach, westwood, near hollywood
-great academics
-great sports</p>
<p>ut just feels like</p>
<p>-full of funny talking texans
-hot humid dry weather
-much less to do there than in LA</p>
<p>Whoever thinks Texas is the sexiest college, you’re an idiot. Straight up fool.
I’ll put up Vandy and UCLA for the winners. </p>
<p>For all the tools that keep singing, ooooh texas, our sports are sooo good, oooh texas, please, just shut up. Being good at sports doesn’t define a school sexy.
It’s the environment and mostly the people in it.</p>
<p>So now that we have that settled, let’s go over a couple things.</p>
<p>UCLA: HOT girls, it’s LA [nuff said], perfect weather 24/7, kills Texas in academics, better sports, and well, would you like me to keep going?
VS.
Texas: Messed up weather, good looking chicks [I’ll give you that], nice atmosphere, party scene, and honestly that’s about it.
I’m not biased, but realistic.
I understand that you grew up in Tx and yadda yadda, but there’s no need to lie about this.</p>
<p>JWT86: Please tell me you’re joking. Did you just mention museums and libraries??
:FACEPALM:</p>
<p>Edit: PizzaGirl, your post should be stickied somewhere. It’s the answer to this thread.
…except for the girls =P</p>
<p>West: It is UCLA (although I still think Pepperdine has a better campus)</p>
<p>East: U Miami</p>
<p>Int’l: University of Milan (amazing mix of women from all over the world, tons of wanna be models to go around)</p>
<p>Texas does suck, although it has a few good schools.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yes he did. hahahaha.</p>
<p>
LOL</p>
<p>Do us all a favor and find out what Tufts Syndrome is.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Wow… the ignorance on here is astounding! Kills Texas in academics?? Might want to look at NRC rankings again, or the USNWR departmental rankings. Not even close to killing Texas. lol. hilarious! Better sports? still laughing…</p>
<p>
No, actually that’s just called pure ignorance.</p>
<p>pizzagirl,
You’re killin’ me with your anti-Texas comment. Texans can sometimes be a bit too exuberant and often aren’t too interested in places, people, events beyond their borders, but is that really any different from what you encounter in virtually every section of the country? As for whether Texas is sexy or not, count me in the yes camp (I love the music and the food!), but I will admit that the landscape and summer weather for the entire state is not the greatest. </p>
<p>As for campus comparisons between UT and UCLA, I think people attach too much of a Texas label to UT and too much of a LA label to UCLA. Austin and Westwood and both campuses are terrific and have tons of beautiful people of both sexes living fun, happy lives and enjoying the pleasures that their schools and locales can provide them, including nationally-leading sports teams in multiple major college sports. The sports scenes at both are GREAT, although the effect may be a bit more magnified in Austin as it is the only game in town. In the elite public university category, I’d rate them 1 and 1A. I’d also cast Honorable Mention votes for U North Carolina and U Virginia</p>
<p>In the private college category, it is my impression that Vanderbilt is in a different league from the other top schools and that only places like USC and Tulane are even in the conversation. Personally, I think that Stanford can be a pretty sexy place as I love The Farm, not to mention the proximity to San Francisco. IMO, sexy and Ivy League/MIT/U Chicago/others is an oxymoron. LOL. :)</p>
<p>Indiana has the Kinsey Institute which recently had a movie made bearing the professor’s name who taught there (Alfred Kinsey). Indiana has the largest collection of porn in the world. We were ranked in Playboy’s Top 10. Girls and Guys both got A’s in The U’s rankings. There’s a class that essentially everyone takes here called “Human Sexuality”. Here’s some videos:</p>

<p>JWT86: UCLA>UT academics OVERALL.
Guys, this is easy. UCLA is in LA, UT is in Austin. End of discussion.</p>
<p>MrPrez,
My guess is you’ve never been to Austin and maybe never even to the great state of Texas. Both UT and UCLA have their positives and both have their fair share of passionate supporters. While you may prefer LA, I assure you that there are many, including me, who would opt for UT in a second. And I’m also guessing that folks who have experienced both as a college destination would also choose UT.</p>
<p>hawkette,
I have been to Austin, and I admit it’s a nice place. I am not trying to say UT or the city aren’t good…I just think UCLA is “sexier.” More sports prestige, the location, the weather, and the women. It’s Los Angeles.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I think Texans think everybody perceives them as a bunch of cowboys and that’s why people look down on them.</p>
<p>In reality, people perceive Texas by Houston and Dallas - a bunch of suburban McMansions sprawling out as far as they possibly can, a very shallow and corporate culture, a sense of superiority and righteousness based upon a completely unsustainable set of lifestyle values outside of an oil-rich, wide open landscape, and driving massive trucks even though they live the exact same suburban lifestyle as people from Seattle to DC.</p>
<p>Austin, however, is quite a wonderful little city with gorgeous women (though not sure how many of those women are 100% flesh and blood up top. If they are, I need to mix with the Texas gene pool).</p>
<p>
Just because I’m right about something it makes me ignorant? Honest to god, if anyone is ignorant, it’s you. You’re so hung up on Texas to the point that no matter what you will defend your home state.
I’m not biased here. Ask anyone on here and tell me that I’m bias again.
Seriously, were all the things I put for LA bogus and total crap?</p>
<p>No offense, but by reading that post it sounds like you don’t have too much knowledge about colleges in general. So let me get this straight, you think UT outbeats UCLA in academics AND sports? Haha, you got me lauging right there.</p>
<p>I’m not playing any favorites man. I’ve been to Texas MANY MANY times. I was supposed to move there. If I did in fact live there, I would still say UCLA is better, because in an overall opinion, it is considered a better school. Done, period.</p>
<p>Haha yeah it’s pretty funny how some Texans claim Texas>UCLA in sports. Just because the Longhorns won a football title in 2005 doesn’t make them a better sports school overall. I am a die hard Stanford fan and I admit UCLA is the most prestigious university in terms of sports. </p>
<p>100 NCAA Titles. (70 of them are men’s)
Texas? 39. (~20 of them are men’s)</p>
<p>Don’t get me wrong, Texas is GREAT at sports.</p>
<p>UCLA is a better school academically wise, but when it comes to sports, recently that is, UT trumps it. </p>
<p>Dallas nor Houston don’t “a bunch of sprawling McMansions sprawling out as far as they possibly can.” Every major city has one particular area where the wealthy reside. For Dallas that’s Highland Park and Preston Hollow; LA that would be Beverly Hills.</p>
<p>^^ Lol, I was supposed to move to Highland Park. Instead I’m staying in cali =]
For LA, the wealthy cities would be Laguna, Corona Del Mar, Newport, Beverly, Malibu…there’s too many. Anything along the coast pretty much.</p>
