Dont go to parties with metal detectors.
Sure, It feels safe inside,
But what about all those n***ers waiting outside with guns?
They Know You Aint Got One!

Maybe people in Texas are affraid of each other no matter where they live.

nice blanket statement :roll:

That's what you get from wacko liberal Californians.

Hey, this is fun. 😀

I heard good things from Texas A&M. Good EE stuff.

UT >> A&M for any engineering. Period.

Rankings reflect that. UT hovers between rank #1 and #10 for most of it's engineering programs nationally - EE is 9th or 10th or 11th nationally or something like that. Petroleum is #1 and Chemical is up there too.

Don't get so uppity. Texas A&M is a good school for engineering. UT & A&M's graduate engineering departments are almost at the same rank (12th and 14th). He didn't say that A&M was better than UT.

Maybe it was UT... whatever.

<----- UC Berkeley. #1 EE Program in the country (somehow we beat MIT... don't ask me how)

Actually UC Berkeley, MIT, and Stanford are all ranked as #1. UC Berkeley deserves to be at the top.

I'm not dissing the new pad, but the pics remind me of....

...pretty much my last 17 apartments. Same white paint and beige carpet, same mis-matched appliances bought on sale whenever the last one broke. At least none of them are "harvest gold" or some other 70's color. Glad I finally bought a house.

Umm where are you getting your rankings? Ill concede UT edges out A&amp;M in Civil, EE, Chemical Eng, Comp Sci. But A&amp;M is still quite competitive in those feilds only slightly behind UT. As for your assertation UT is number #1 in Petrol Eng, thats false. A&amp;M is #1 in petrol eng. A&amp;M was ranked #1 in 2000,2001,2003, and 2004. UT beat out A&amp;M in 2002. A&amp;M is also #1 in ag eng, #3 in nuclear eng, and top 25 in almost all of the other fields.

Everyone knocks A&amp;M as not being as good as UT for engineering. Its not far off UTs mark. A&amp;Ms Natural Sciences arent either. Now A&amp;Ms School of Liberal Arts is a joke compared to UT.

With the exception of where the two are located, the one MAJOR between A&amp;M and UT are the students. A&amp;M students do not tend to be very self reflective.

College Station has better bang for buck when it comes to rent. You can rent a nice 989 sq foot 2bed/2bath for $800. When I say nice, the same quality goes for $1200+ in Austin.

As for night life, Austin wins even though College Station is growing rapidly and more and more good clubs and such are opening.

 

[phreakah]

i'll add to the CA bitching: $700/month for a studio apartment BIATCH! and that's CHEAP!

 

[sniperruff]

hey $420 for a crappy half-basement here near stony brook, NY campus...

 

[desiplaya4life]

cool

 

[Freejack2]

$600 a month around here gets a 2bdrm duplex with central air, dishwasher, washer/dryer hookups, and off street parking.

lol I didn't mean to create such a stir over UT and A&amp;M. I'm actually trying to transfer into their business programs (accounting), but both are ranked fairly high in that field. Wish me luck 😀 Hope to get out of California within a year

Nice networking job, looks like an apt I had in college. But I at least had duct tape over it 🙂

College Station will never, ever be as nice as Austin. There's sooo many good clubs in Austin. And a lot of nice neighborhoods. Plus way more gay people than College Station.

Hook 'em. 🙂

Eh I fixed it tonight. The bedroom jack wasn't live for some reason, and I didn't have the tools to test it. Turns out that the daisy-chain after the living room jack was a bit covered in dielectric around the conductor....killed the signal in the bedroom as a result. I cleaned it up a lot
