What university in Texas would you recommend?

Question

My family is moving to Texas and I am currently a student at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. I'm about to be a sophomore, double majoring in accounting and financing. My GPA is a 3.69 right now. I'll start school in Texas my junior year. I've looked at different rankings on the schools in Texas and the ones highest ranked for business seem to be UT-Austin, Texas A&M, UT-Dallas, and other private schools. I would rather go to a public school and save some money for my family. Which school would you recommend? I'm leaning towards UT-Dallas because it's near lots of businesses in Dallas and might open doors beacause of that.

Thank you for the help!!

Answer 1

UT. Hook Em' Horns

Answer 2

UT-Austin has the best undergraduate B-School in Texas.  UT-Dallas is a third tier school and isn't nearly as good as UT-Austin.  UT-Austin is also much better in Business than A&M.

Rice is the best school in Texas -- but they don't have an undergraduate B-School.  However, they do have an excellent Economics program.

Answer 3

As an Aggie, I'm partial to A&M; however, UT is awesome for business. Just don't go to UT- Dallas (actually in Arlington?). The smaller branches of major universities just never seem to command the same respect as the main campus.
