<p>Compare 23 vs. 68. UT would be far superior in the bio sciences. Plus more opportunities in Austin than in College Station.</p>
<p>Off topic - I also got several research positions/interviews (one for polymer research for protein recognition for incorporation in biosensors/nanotechnology) already at UT! And I haven’t even step foot in Austin yet! Profs/PI’s over here seem pretty awesome so far! Couldn’t get jack at A&M.</p>
