<p>Hi there,</p>
<p>I recently have been admitted to UT Austin (from CA) as a journalism major and Tulane (with 20k/year scholarship). I'm leaning towards the longhorns however have a few questions/concerns.</p>
<p>While I would really like top academics, I also am looking for the full college experience from school spirit to greek life. Therefore, to me, UT seems like the perfect fit - Tulane seems to lack a little on the spirit side, however I hear NO is great.</p>
<p>I am little concerned about the size of UT not so much socially but academically; however, all my friends at UT say they love their classes. Tulane obviously will have smaller classes, less TAs, etc. </p>
<p>At both schools their seems to be academic inclination from the students, as to get to UT as a Texan you have to be in the very top of your class and at Tulane, students seem very smart and motivated.</p>
<p>I also feel that at UT, I will have a more diverse experience. This may seem out of line as there will be TONS of Texans, but I hear Tulane is a lot of northeastern kids who come from the same sort of socioeconomic background.</p>
<p>Thoughts? I'd really appreciate it!</p>
