I don’t know UT programs but have a kid in UMich CS. UMich also has strong undergrad math, data science, stats, and biostatistics programs. Strong in robotics.

CS program is very large and your kid may feel lost. Housing is very expensive here so costs may be higher than you expect. It’s tough to rent your apartment over the summer for full compensation.

If both are oos, UT Austin is a fair bit less expensive.

Agree. There will be better internship opportunities in Austin. Plus, the weather is nicer.
