<p>I am a high school junior and I live in Texas, I'll be a senior this fall. I want to go to a Texas public university but UT is way to big for me. I'm in the top 5% of my public school and I have great SAT scores so I'm into every Texas public university. I have visited all three of the school for just a mini visit, and I've asked relatives and my parents. My dad went to UTA and my uncle is going to graduate school at UTD. I was just wondering if anyone had any insight into these schools. I want to major in political science and go into either Public Affairs or Law. Any help at all is appreciated!</p>

<p>I would say UT-Dallas</p>
<p>My opinion about public colleges in Texas:</p>
<ol>
<li>UT - Austin</li>
<li>Texas A&M - College Station </li>
<li>(tie) UT-Dallas</li>
<li>(tie) Texas Tech</li>
<li>University Of Houston</li>
<li>(tie) Texas A&M - Galveston </li>
<li>(tie) Texas State - San Marcos</li>
<li>UT-Arlington</li>
<li>Angelo State</li>
<li>North Texas</li>
</ol>
<p>thanks that what I started to notice as well</p>
<p>I did 3 semesters at UTA and it’s an okay school. My only real beef with the school is that it’s a huge commuter school and as a result, the kids their aren’t very social and there’s no student body cohesion. Kids basically just go to class and then immediately go home. The only cool thing about the school is that I got several thousand dollars in grant money because I was in the Honors College.</p>
<p>The thing about UTA is that it’s a perfectly fine school if you’re just doing a few semesters there until you transfer, but the idea of spending 4 years there just sounds awful. Student body isn’t very social, the campus is just meh and the classes, for the most part, are pretty easy.</p>
<p>Why do people bump posts after 9 minutes and then again 2 minutes later?</p>
<p>I go to UTA and it is changing fast. And by fast, I mean every semester gets increasingly better. In the next 5 years I can see it being basically non-commuter. So, by the time you’re out it will be a lot better than it was when I started, it just depends on how much you want/need social activities. They’re there, you just have to seek opportunities, not like big schools such as UT and A&M that surround you with the school so much that you’re immediately drawn in.</p>
<p>Texas Tech would be a better option. The honors college is wonderful and would give the school a smaller feel.</p>
