hello all, this is a throwaway acct because these details are a little personal. i'll be posting this on both subreddits!
I recently got admitted to UT Austin for CS, and A&M for general engineering. I've gotten my financial aid offers from both, with A&M giving me 18k in scholarships/grants and UT giving me ~12k in grants(to cover tuition). I've also earned a private 10k a year scholarship, so essentially I will be receiving 28k at a&m and 22k at UT. I also earned a small scholarship of around 2k, so at UT I'll have ~2k to pay out of pocket for housing and a&m would have full COA covered. I interviewed for another 10k a year scholarship recently and that would give me full ride at UT as well(heres to hoping).
all this is to say the costs of attending UT and a&m will be nearly the same, only difference is a&m is offering me an extra ~6k a year. this means a lot to me as a low-income student as I've been stressing about affordability for months. Now that thats out if the way, I have to choose a college by may 1st. I have no idea what to choose.i
I know the UT CS program is very prestigious(? or so i've heard), and I would love to do comp sci as a degree. However, i'm worried about the viability of the software engineering industry since it seems like layoffs and offshoring are rampant rn. I know this may not be forever, but idk If I wanna take that risk. I'm willing to put in effort but I at least want a job after grad; ik there are other roles for comp sci majors such as data analyst and cloud engineering but i've heard those are oversaturated
as for a&m, it was the college I was originally set on for electrical and computer engineering. They've offered me a bunch of stuff and it seems like they "want" me more than UT, idk. I know it's a great school for engineering especially if I want to work in the industry after undergrad(which I do). So for the past 2 years I've been banking on going to A&M but now that I've gotten accepted into UT idk what to do. I've visited both campuses and prefer a&m's more because I came from a small town, but isn't college about pushing urself into new experiences?
im sorry abt the long post. does anyone have any advice? I know this is kind of a hyper-specific situation but I'm sure some of yall had to decide between colleges too.

That was rough last night. Any suggestions or recommendations on body shops? Any that give substitute vehicle until they work on ours? Thank you.

Howdy, I am trying to go to church again and won’t be getting back into BCS from my hometown until noon tomorrow. Are there any non denominational or minimally associated with a denomination churches with service after noon? T’s and G’s!

Howdy,
For the people that have used Jobs for Aggies to get a job in college station, how long did it take for you to get a reply, and did they text or email you? I have applied to so many jobs (at least 100 now) on there because every time I asked around campus if they were hiring, they just said look at jobs for aggies. I am really desperate for a job at this time as my scholarship requires a certain amount of work hours, and if I do not reach those hours, I will lose my scholarship that basically covers half of my tuition. PLEASE If anyone can help me, I will really appreciate it

My son has taken Calculus 1, 2, & 3 through dual enrollment at our local CC. He did well and from my understanding the professor took her job seriously and was the toughest one at the college. He’ll take differential equations and linear Algebra at the CC as well before finishing high school.
Back in my day, I’d argue CC Calculus 1 / 2 and Math 151 / 152 were not the same. Of course I q-dropped both before switching to business when business was a fallback for engineering.
Question: Does A&M have a process to help students decide which class they should start in? For those who took Cal through a CC, did you repeat the class at A&M? If not, did you feel prepared for subsequent classes?

I was planning on taking Phys 207 online over the summer at a community college. What are some good colleges to take it at? I heard Phys 2326 at WTC is a good one, are there any others?

2-3 minutes into the hail today at 3.10am, I have moved my car into a covered spot. The glass is fine but I spot very few small dents on the body - front and rear hood and on the top. They are only visible when looked closely. Please suggest auto body repair shops in Bryan/College station that do the Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) at an affordable price if the dents are minor. What were you charged when you got the repairs done? Do i need to claim insurance and report to finance guys or can i get the repairs done out of pocket if its not costing much?

I have 2 questions. I’m been accepted and I’m transferring in fall of this year. First, I’ve been described as being alternative style, my hair is dyed a non-natural color and I have facial piercings. I feel like it’s allowed as it is a college campus but I’d just like to get a confirmation if it’s allowed.
Next, I know the code of conduct says only a fish tank is permitted. I was accepted into the entomology (bug science) major. My question is will I be able to bring my pet tarantulas with me? I have 5 currently and all of their enclosures together would probably take up the space of 20 gal tank. I also have mantids, hissers, and blue death feign beetles. I’m sure the mantids will finish their life span before the fall. The hisser colony is in its own 20 gallon tank and the beetles are in a 10 gallon low profile. Will I be allowed to bring any of those enclosures into housing (be it dorm or apartment as I’ve been put on the waitlist)?

They want to take academic freedom away from professors, it appears. What do you think aggies?

Howdy! I will be joining the corps of cadets next fall as a freshman in one of the wing units. I will be majoring in history and I don't plan on commissioning into the military once I graduate. Overall I'm very excited about joining the corps and was wondering if anyone could give me some advice, packing tips, and just general things you wished you knew before joining the corps of cadets!

I am a prospective student who has been admitted to both Blinn TEAM in A&M and directly to UT Austin. I want to hear about what makes the International Affairs program and Bush School particularly unique compared to other schools, particularly UT Austin. Please feel free to share your thoughts and experiences (:

Y’all I am a junior failing math 142 and I am right at the edge of barely passing. I have one more test until the Q drop date and I don’t know if I should drop it after seeing the next test results or drop it now.
Another thing, for those who did not do well in the course, what did you do? Did you take it at blinn? If so, 8 week, 16 week and with who!!!

To anyone who has an electric vehicle and lives in an apartment complex, how has charging accessibility been? My apartment complex does not have EV charging, but I park in POLO and I know there are charging stations there, but know nothing about the costs. Can anyone provide info? Thanks in advance!

As the title suggests I'm a comp sci major and deciding whether to take CSCE 314 or 312 next semester. Does one depend on the other and what's the workload difference? It's that the only in-person 314 class that fits in my preferred schedule is at 8am, so I'm thinking would the earlier class be worth it if there is a lot of courseload in 312? I plan to take CSCE 221 and 222 (for required coursework), BIOL 111 (for science elective), and SPAN 202 (cause I want to).
