<p>I'm a mechanical engineering major at Texas A&M right now. I'm paying 14000 a semester as I'm an international student and UT is like 16k a semester..so not a big difference... </p>
<p>I like A&M but College Station is kinda ghost town during holidays as everyone goes back. So I m looking to transfer to UT as its mechanical engineering program is even highly ranked than A&M and its in Austin.</p>
<p>So my question is : Is it worth transferring to UT and leaving back all friends in A&M and start all over again in college life..??
Or is A&M as good as UT and there's no need...
I need views from people who are in UT or A&M.....</p>
<p>and also how much gpa do i need for the transfer?
mine is like 3.5 right now</p>
<p>As a UT alumn I have never heard anyone put down A&M engineering compared to UT. You’ll have to check with UT Engineering to find out gpa requirements. I don’t think there’s any academic reason to transfer. The question is do you want to start over making friends, establishing relationships with professors because of four weeks with no one around?</p>
<p>UT has one of the top 10 undergrad engineering programs, but if I’m not mistaken, A&M is in the top 20 so there’s not really that big of a difference. Academically there’s not really a reason to transfer.</p>
