That’s based upon consensus across academic investigations. UT dials it in on a variety of specific fronts including engineering, medicine, and law.

It starts with the extremely high enrollment standards at UT.

Now, overall experience and post-graduate merits, that’s debatable.

It’s not even October yet and Aggy is already pimping their academics.

According to the Journal's 2024 Best Colleges in the U.S., Texas A&M University - College Station is the state's only top-50 school, ranking 38th overall.

Houston's Rice University also cracked the top 100 at 64th. Notably, the University of Texas at Austin did not make the top 100, coming in at No. 118.


Who said it was just about academics. The rating includes academics but also covers a lot of other factors as part of the rating.

As someone who has attended both Texas A&M and the University of Texas, there is a step up in intensity at Texas A&M.

At first didn't like Texas entering the conference

Totally makes sense. I would hate for the two colleges I attended to play each other.

I assume you went to A&M first since you are an Aggie fan. Why would you go to an inferior school like Texas after that amazing experience at A&M?

Also, it’s quite interesting that you would get on here and brag about one school being better than the other school that you attended..

I’ll get my as I wait for your answers.

On one side, we've got the buff dudes in white overalls acting all gay to the cheers of the crowd. On the other, we've got all the pudgy kids actually posing for pics sucking dildos and such.

Honestly - is there an option behind Door #3, Monty ? I'll take School From Texas That Doesn't Glorify Homo Sex for $100, Alex.

Dude, one of the largest energy industry employers in Texas doesn't even send recruiters to UT Austin due to sub-par results from hiring there. Don't lecture about stuff you know nothing about. Did you attend either school?

I don't mind Aggies (I have to "hate" them when it comes to sports), but there is no comparison between Texas A&M and the University of Texas at Austin in terms of academic rigor. None at all.

Rice is a great school, but you could easily make the case that UT is the best school, public or private, in the state of Texas.

Texas, Michigan, North Carolina, Virginia, UCLA/Berkeley are the major "Public Ivy" schools. I think William and Mary and maybe another 1-2 small schools are in there as well.

Washington, Wisconsin, and Florida should probably be in there too - or at least very close behind. Penn State as well.

Texas A&M is an afterthought outside of a few very specific programs/degrees.

That's not to say "Texas A&M sucks" - it doesn't. It's just laughable to claim it as the #1 public school in Texas - it's not even close.
