UT Austin Vs Virginia Tech Vs Cal Poly SLO Architecture

College Majors Architecture Major

Daughter has narrowed down choices to the following three schools:

  1. UT Austin Arch + Plan II honors (in-state)
  2. Virginia Tech + Honors (full paid scholarship)
  3. Cal Poly SLO (waiting Honors program) (minimal scholarship at $2k/year)

But is very confused between the three. She does want to have options to do some liberal arts related courses during her college years.
Has visited both VTech and UT austin program. Still need to visit Cal Poly.
But is very confused as to which one to pick (cost is not an issue).

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

I don’t know much about the other two, but VT has one of the best architecture programs in the nation. If she has a full scholarship to VT too, I think it’s a good option because you can save a lot of money for graduate school (if she is interested). Tech also has the best campus food in the nation. Also, just because I am curious and also thinking about applying to VT architecture, what are your daughters stats? Like GPA, SAT, extra-curricular, etc. I just want to know where I should be at if I apply since I want a good chance of getting in.
