A&M Pros:

Friendlier in general

Good shopping, restaurants, entertainment

Smaller & easier to get around

Lower cost of living

Halfway between Austin & Houston

A&M Cons:

Not as diverse as UT

Young town–you will feel old by age 27

Everyone is part of a couple–if you’re single and unattached, this might bother you

UT Pros:

Very diverse–culturally, age-wise, etc.

More sophisticated in general

Better shopping, eating, & entertainment

More tolerant of people being “different”

UT Cons:

Huge, so you might feel overwhelmed & insignificant or lonely if you’re on the shy side

Higher cost of living

Lots of distractions

Lots of beautiful and fashionable people–you might feel like you don’t “measure up”

Just my two cents… Hope it helps!

UT is more liberal and A&M is more conservative (for the most part).

I went to UT and loved it!!
