Hey guys I just finished my first year at UIUC in the actuarial science program. I applied for transfer to UT Austin for the math major with an emphasis in actuarial science. I’m not too fond of the area surrounding the UIUC area, and I feel that Austin would be a better fit for me in that case. However, many people have been telling me that the actuarial program at UIUC is better compared to that of UT Austin. Also, people have out that if I go to UT Austin I will be graduating with not only actuarial tests done, but also a math degree compared to that of an actuarial science degree from UIUC. I’m really at a crossroads as to which school I should pick, and I would really appreciate if any of you guys can provide some insight into this.
Thanks!
