[quote=Anonymous]My son applied and was accepted to both UT and Davidson as different as those schools were.  He visited UT only after he was admitted and found the campus to be just immense and felt he'd get lost in the crowd.  This from a kid who grew up around Virginia Tech. He is at Davidson studying economics and so grateful he made that choice.

However, the computer science dept is pretty small there and certainly not in the same league as UT.  If your child is certain she wants to study data analytics/cs, then maybe UT Austin would be the right choice.  If she isn't sure what she wants to do post college, then hands down Davidson.  Davidson is located less than 30 min from downtown Charlotte which outside of NY is a one of the major banking hubs on the east coast.  Several of my son's upperclassmen friends are getting high paying job offers in consulting and investment banking in part due to the Davidson alumni network.  Also, work study jobs are very easy to come by, and Davidson is giving the kids raises starting next year.  So earning $2k in work study is easily doable working 8-10 hrs a week. My son's best friend does his work study at the Baker sports center front desk and does his homework while there.[/quote]
