text: what is the best university in texas? (for people outside of texas)? or what do u think of texas a&m.  just curious, because i got to a&m. a&m is a really good college... same expectations as ut... their rivals but not as much as ut vs. ou... a&m is a really beautiful school..., i hear its a party school too... but its kinda out in the middle of nowhere... (college station)... ut (located in austin) is one of the world's greatest universities... its heavily populated and is a great school by both academically and socially... but then again so is a&m... i hope u enjoy goin to w/e school u decide to go!!!  other really good schools to consider...  rice (houston) baylor (waco) texas state (san marcos)
