-Viva San Antonio ! The closer to Austin, the better!

-High cost means Ramen noodles, crackers and peanut butters to sustain life.

-Rankings…aren't great.

-Rattler mascot is scary.

Texas Tech University

-Full scholarship offer equals free ride and therefore cheap, making it easier to drink through school.

-Best bang for the buck according to some people

-Close enough to Austin to come home on pertinent weekends, including Texas football and ACL Fest.

-High humidity means bad hair days.

Southern Methodist University

-Part-time program means ability to work would lower need to borrow massive amounts of money (see cons column: ability to work )

-Attendees reputed to be snobby BMW drivers who wear bows in their hair.

-Ability to work means I might be dead before graduation.

Baylor University

-The closer to Austin, the better!

-High U.S. News and World Report ranking; high bar passage rate mean this
school is good. (They haven't accepted me yet.)

-Drinking and dancing discouraged by Baptists

University of Texas

-Yay Austin! There's no place like home.

-I am fiercely loyal to my alma mater and love love love my Longhorns.

-High bar passage rankings mean good job following graduation. (They haven't accepted me yet, either. Keep your fingers crossed.)

-High U.S. News and World Report ranking means…um, it's really hard work.
