UTD vs SMU CS

I am from the DFW area and I’m applying as a CS major.

It’s dropped down to two schools for me.

  • UTD with a 10k scholly
  • SMU with 45-50k in schollies, Hilltop Scholars program, Lyle Business Advantage

UTD is around 10k cheaper than SMU for me?

What do you guys think? Also do people who go to schools with D1 athletics care about their respective teams(especially in football)? I am asking this because some people say they are too busy to care bout their college’s athletics.

I have also researched about the splendid job/internship opportunities in Dallas from being a UTD or SMU graduate. What about each school’s CS reputation outside of Texas? As much as I love the DTX, I am trying to live outside of Texas after undergrad/grad.
