UT or not UT?

Has anyone gone to UT recently who can tell me a little about their experiences? I’m wanting to major in biology with a possible focus in immunology.

I live in Texas and I’m top seven percent of my class so I get automatic admission and it’s super close to home and affordable but I’m just not sure I want to go there, or if I have any other affordable options, especially since I’m planing on grad school.
