<p>ColoradoKid, first of all, I think are agreeing with what I just said, that the choice of which college must be made on an individual student's strengths and weaknesses, and that there is not going to be a right or wrong choice. Second, I'm afraid I don't understand what you meant in your last paragraph concerning traffic. I used to commute in Austin traffic, and I can tell you that it can be bad on I-35. My commute was 18 miles long and it routinely took an hour each way. That's not to say Austin doesn't have a lot to offer! We moved to Dallas 18 months ago, and I can say in all honesty that I greatly preferred living in Austin. There is a unique attitude in Austin that is just the coolest thing. As they say, "Keep Austin Weird".</p>
