Best Texas college for technology related majors?

<p>I'm currently at an overseas medical school and I've decided its far too much for me. I will have to go back and reapply to a Texas (in-state) college. </p>

<p>Any good recommended colleges?</p>

<p>1) Rice
2) UT
3) A&M
4) Tech</p>

<p>1) UT-Austin / Rice
2) Texas A&M
3) Texas Tech</p>

<p>Rice is a really prestigious school. UT Austin however, has some of the highest ranking and most respected engineering and computer science programs in the country.</p>

<p>It would be difficult to say which one is <em>better</em> because it depends on what type of school you’re looking for.</p>

<p>What do you mean by “technology”?</p>

<p>Regardless,

  1. UT-Austin
  2. Texas A&M / Rice (tie)</p>

<p>If engineering,
4. Houston
5. Texas Tech</p>

<p>If CS/IT,
4. UT-Dallas
5. Houston</p>

<p>1) UT
2) Rice
3) UT-D
4) A&M</p>

<p>“Among the best undergraduate engineering programs whose highest degree is a doctorate, Rice’s George R. Brown School of Engineering is in a three-way tie for No. 17 – up from No. 19 last year – with Texas A&M University-College Station and Pennsylvania State University-University Park.”</p>

<p>you really cannot go wrong with UT or TAMU for engineering, but you’d need to research the school itself since they are so wildly different; tuition, student life, city, admissions, etc. Even more so if you consider Rice as well.</p>

<li>Rice</li>
<li>If engineering, A&M (yeah, they just beat out UT. Whoop!). If CS then UT</li>
<li>CS-A&M. Engineering UT</li>
<li>Probably Tech. </li>
<li>SMU</li>
<li>UTD</li>
</ol>

<p>Not sure if tech or smu’s better</p>

<p>You’re on drugs if you think A&M is better in technology related fields… Austin is the perfect place for technology, and UT’s EE dept. is like top 10.</p>

<li>UT Austin</li>
<li>Rice (reputation/teaching value)</li>
<li>Texas A&M</li>
<li>UT Dallas</li>
