<p>I attended TCU for my freshman year and didn't exactly love it, so I looked into transferring. I am also a mechanical engineering student, and their program is not the best. I applied to UT and A&M for fall transfer. I was accepted into UT mechanical engineering, but A&M required more prerequisites, which I had not satisfied, so I would have to start with industrial engineering and switch to mechanical in the spring. At both schools there are classes I would have to catch up on, maybe a few more at A&M but I think they have the better program. A&M would be the easier transition, but I am hesitant of if that is the right thing to do. UT is definitely more exciting, but Austin is a little intimidating.
I am just looking for some outside insight and hoping someone can give me some advice!!
Oh and did I mention I have 4 days to make the decision... SOS!!!!!</p>
<p>What is more intimidating about Austin?</p>
<p>Is there a significant cost difference that matters to you?</p>
<p>Is it difficult to change majors at A&M? Seems like it would be a more difficult transition at A&M if you could not be in your major right away.</p>
<p>I think just the city and size scares me a little, as far as fitting in and finding friends.
The cost is about the exact same.
I have been in contact with some of the heads of the engineering school, and the way they talk about it it seems fairly easy to switch majors, especially since its within the same school. I would just have to keep a 2.8 to switch, and considering I have a 3.85 now I think that will not be difficult.</p>
