[quote=Anonymous](1) There are over 1,600 public universities in America. UT is among the top 10, which makes it significantly better than a "slightly above average flagship." It's international ranking is also very strong. (2) As a counterweight to your concern about "weak high schools" (and sharing classrooms with the less privileged?), consider that there are also many in-state students who chose UT over T10 and T20 options because it's cheaper and Austin is a better place to spend four years than most places. Also, Plan 2 is one of the best honors program in the nation. (3) To be fair, the campus isn't going to win many awards. But I don't think it's ugly either. I'd categorize it as perfectly cromulent. (4) UT sits in the middle of Austin, which is an extremely fun town. I know of few college towns that are better. The real downside is that it's on something of a geographical island unless weekend trips to Houston, Dallas, or San Antonio are your cup of tea.[/quote]
