Which one is a better deal, UT or UW?

Transfer Students

<p>Hi guys,</p>

<p>I am going to transfer to a four yr college in coming Fall and still wondering which one is more suitable for me.</p>

<p>I know it's a bit late to talk about where to go. However, I really struggle a lot with my final decision. I am accepted by UT at Austin and UWashington, Seattle. I like UT so much. For UW, I don't feel good with it but not that bad.</p>

<p>In UT, I am admitted to their Business school with unspecificed major. I have to take Calculus II in UT before I can declare my major (Accounting). I wonder would there be a chance that I cannot declare my major in UT? Since there may be many students wanna major accounting, if more than they can accept, will they force unsuccessful students to major in other fields, like Marketing?? Would I still have a chance to major in Accounting? Also, I don't know whether my courses in cc are transferrable to UT or not since I am an out-state transfer student. I wonder if they would transfer my Accounting classes as they didn't evaluate them so far. I really wanna go to UT but would it be too risky for me to go there, like require more time to graduate?</p>

<p>For UW, I have a better deal since they accepted me to their Business honor program (too late to apply for BHP in UT since I have taken financial and managerial accounting). Also, I am admitted to their accounting deapartment (transfer junior)which means there is no doubt I would graduate with an accounting major (unless i change my major). However, business program in UW is not as famous as that in UT (at least, UT is more famous). Also, it is hard to be admitted to UT as an out-state transfer student (non-resident). You know around 10 out-state students are being admitted each year. Hence, I don't want to give up such a good offer.</p>

<p>So, guys,please tell me which one is a better deal for me, UT or UW? (btw, i transfer from a cc in Washington state, so all my credits should be transferrable to UW.)</p>

<p>Thanks so much!!!</p>

<p>i used to go to UW and i loved it. the campus is gorgeous and i miss it like crazy. UW! :) (of course, there's the personal bias)</p>

<p>I'm from Los ANgeles and as far as I know UW is a far more prestigious institution: In Stae, honors program, guaranteed accounting degree.... imo the choice has already been made. Be a Huskie!</p>

<p>Go to UT! Longhorns are the best! I think UT is more prestigious than UW..and since you like the campus and stuff better at UT..you should go for it. Austin has an awesome party scene lol!! Hmm could I be biased? I live in Texas..mwuahahahahaha!</p>

<p>For business and engineering, UT beats the crap out of UW in terms of prestige. However, since your an accounting major, your career choices won't be extremely different, especially if you wanna go to a Big 4. I would just go to whatever college you think you would enjoy the most for the amount of money that you are willing to spend. Also, UT is pretty cheap for an out-of-state school and might compare to the price of UW. Obviously, you've got a tough choice. Have you visited UT? You should. Austin has a really cool vibe and tons of outdoor activities. You might really like it.</p>

<p>UT. You should go where you're the most comfortable, and UT is very prestigious</p>
