<p>^ Yeah I know UT isn’t the BEST of the publics, I was just saying the whole Texas system is similar to the California system.</p>
<p>-UC is the Tier 1 in California and UT and A&M are like the Tier 1 systems in Texas</p>
<p>-Texas also has a Texas State system (small) which is like Cal’s Tier 2 Cal State system</p>
<p>So they’re pretty similar. California just has a lot more highly ranked programs I think.</p>
<p>And @stevehwan… A&M actually has really good engineering and biology departments. I know their engineering is ranked in the top 15. Also, College Station is a really nice college town with tons of places to hang out besides… erm… beer barns.</p>
