I’m considering transferring from UT Dallas to UH. Is it a smart academic and financial decision? I currently live by myself and pay for everything as I work. I major in Computer Science.
Hmm. Wish you gave some more information on your situation.
Is financing either school a problem? Does one or the other have your major? Is one closer to work which would make it more economical? Do you prefer one over the other?
Whether it is an academically smart decision depends on how well you’re doing at UT Dallas and whether you like the rigor, coursework, professors etc. Whether it is a financially good decision depends on how affordable it is to you.
If you would say they are equal on all grounds (campus, rigor, both have your major, you like them equally etc.) then I would probably go with whatever is cheapest since you work and pay for everything yourself.
