<p>hi i really need some help deciding between these schools! i will join a sorority at the school i go to so i want the greek life to be fun and i will be majoring at either business or communications at ut and communications at ucla, i know i will get a good education at either so that isnt really a deciding factor for me. i need help!! also each would be in state, so money is not a factor either.</p>
<p>What’s UT?</p>
<p>university of texas at austin, sorry!</p>
<p>From what I know, I would go with UCLA. UT is, from what I’ve heard, a great school, in a great town, that’s lots of fun! However, I don’t think it is nearly as reputable as UCLA. I guess it depends where your from also. Texas is a big change from almost anywhere in the U.S!</p>
<p>They’re about equal in every way. There really isn’t a clear decision based upon your criteria; I’d go with your gut feeling.</p>
<p>I’m a guy so I have no first-hand knowledge about sororities, but I’ve been told they are a bigger deal in the South. Texas ain’t exactly in the South, but its close ;)</p>
<p>BTW if you do a web search for “sorority forum” you’ll find some places that focus on discussing greek issues; might be a good place to find people familiar with these 2 schools.</p>
<p>
What? UCLA and UT are not similar at all! </p>
<p>UCLA is generally better than UT but UT is well known for its Engineering and Business programs.</p>
<p>Communications at UCLA is an extremely popular program due to its location in Los Angeles.</p>
<p>I’d probably decide on UCLA if I were more interested in Communications and UT if I were more interested in Business. </p>
<p>(Though UCLA’s Business Economics program isn’t bad if you’re interested.)</p>
<p>UT has a much better business program than UCLA. </p>
<p>Communications is similar between the two schools.</p>
<p>Greek life is big in both schools.</p>
<p>Advantage –> UT - AUSTIN</p>
<p>I dislike Texas. UCLA</p>
<p>Have you visited both schools?</p>
<p>Are you instate for either school?</p>
<p>Is cost a concern?</p>
<p>UCLA is on the quarter system. UT is on the semester system. Do you have a preference?</p>
<p>You will likely enjoy either school.</p>
<p>If joining a sorority is a priority go to UT - UCLA does not have a significant greek scene, although academically UCLA is a notch above UT. I would opt for the cheaper option.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>How does one become instate for both UCLA and University of Texas @ Austin?</p>
<p>I would recommend visiting both schools if you haven’t already. McCombs definitely has an advantage over UCLA’s undergrad business related programs, but based on academics they are pretty equal.</p>
<p>Do you have a parent that lives in each state?</p>
<p>we live in texas, but if i go to ucla my parents will move to california since we already have family there. therefore the first year will be out of state tuition but the next 3 in state.</p>
<p>

<p>Not true.</p>

<p>Be sure to check into the residency rules of UC… I think the most important is having attended hs in CA, not whether one’s parents have paid a cent of CA income tax over the recent past. As strange as these rules are…</p>
