Yes I am in industry and have a great job... Are you? Would making a general statement emphasizing the term 'average' have any bearing on what I'm saying? Did I ever say intelligent people didn't graduate from Arkansas? No. I said on average they are not as smart. That is the truth. Texas kids at Arkansas, on average, again, on average could not get in to A&M or tu. With 29 million some odd people, when your collective crop is more selective than at Arkansas, on average, again, on average. You get smarter kids. Between every Aggie and Arkansas is the smartest a piggie? I don't give a frick. The smartest 100 could be piggies and that wouldn't contradict anything I've said. If you are a smart and successful person, Arkansas wouldn't limit you in anyway whatsoever. A&M is still light years ahead.
Do you even read what you type out on here??

All of them could provide quality educations. It should not surprise anyone that the better schools are A&M, Florida, Mizzou, and Vandy. That being said I would say Vandy for undergraduate and A&M for graduate. To know why this is, people need to understand things like the AAU, NSF, and research productivity.
I am from Arkansas attended UArk for undergraduate and it was great. I loved being there and think I received a quality education. I am now at A&M for graduate school and it is so much better of an academic university it is not even comparable. I do not say this lightly. The level of faculty salaries, teaching loads, graduate funding, and research funding is ridiculous here. A&M wants to be a top public university and has made amazing strides in recent years. Our graduate program in ranked 19th in the country and there are numerous others at that level here as well. Most SEC schools simply are not on that level.
I like to make fun of Aggies, and I certainly do not get Aggieland or support the athletic program. As far as academics go though, it is tough not to be impressed.
