Michigan or UT Austin for CS?

In many case, the tech jobs accessible in Austin are actually with Silicon Valley firms. There has been a mass expansion from SV to Austin in the past ~6 years.

There just are not as many in-town tech jobs in Ann Arbor or nearby. UMich would be much better, however, for someone wanting auto industry connections.

DC is at UT Austin in the Turning program. DC has done well and had a great job lined up post grad. Definitely go visit UT Austin. I believe there was a Turning admitted student day we attended. It is a special program for sure and the cohort system really helps the students.

DC visited UMich and Cornell admitted student days too. UT and UMich had great vibes and seemingly collaborative environments. Cornell felt like a pressure cooker. Weather much better in Austin. Tuition less at UT Austin, especially if the student is able to gain instate residency.

How can they gain instate residency?

Here is the link for establishing Texas residency…

Some of the SV firms are contracting in TX, as they are elsewhere.

But, they hire more from Mich than TX.
