Well, if you look at US News (the generally accepted ranking of US Universities), you'll see that Texas has more top 10 majors than any other university. More importantly, if you look at where companies hire, you'll find that Texas is one of the few "target schools" of the best companies in the world.

[VivaLaVidaLA]

Actually, Berkeley has more top-10 departments than any university in the nation, with 32. UT is a phenomenal school as well, but UCB is the only school to lay claim to that feat.

@openedskittles

Some people put way too much stock in terms like "target schools". A Texas student with a great GPA does not automatically beat out a student with a great GPA from another top tier school. Most companies would look as seriously at a Texas grad as they would somebody from say, Ole Miss or Kansas.

We make the best commercials out there, We're Texas.

[togagurl18]

[forgotaboutbre]

[Chrissius]

I may be biased since I'm a UT alum. But even objectively looking at them, I think UT produces the best quality university promos.

[KevinDC5]

no, i agreee

[luvdblue]

UC Berkeley's are way better, even though I love TX.

[bleackorama]

Not really.

[luvdblue]

yup, really :)

[bleackorama]

Nah, not really. You have no proof whatsoever, did you know UT is ranked number 39 on 100 best colleges universities in the world?

[luvdblue]

Cool! Did you know Berkeley is ranked 3rd?!

[bleackorama]

Nah, get your facts straight. Number 3 is cambridge.

[luvdblue]

google "Academic Ranking of World Universities". Click on the first link, and follow that to "Academic Ranking of World Universities-2008." It's the same ranking you're getting Texas as #39 from.

Get your facts straight.

[bleackorama]

Too bad that's only the Northern American countries.

Sorry bro, you're just not right!

[luvdblue]

under that same link, "top 500 WORLD universities"...Berkeley is 3rd, Cambridge is 4th, and Texas is 39th. Obviously it's not only North American countries.

Sorry bro, you're just not right!

[bleackorama]

Heh, I did some more research, this is the only link that gives Berkely number three, everything else ranks oxford as number three. Here's a tip:Do some research, k?

Sorry bro, you're just not right!

[luvdblue]

Where does all your other research place Texas?

[mattbtay]

This can be a video of austin, every time i go i sit on the freeway for like 5 hours..

[AustinHornsFan]

Excellent. And for those of you who might read this and not live in Austin - if you are smart, creative, ambitious, and want to make help others and make a difference in this world, come to Austin. We want you here.

[SamuelChase7]

I'll second that notion. There's no city like it.

[bigroy38]

Just don't live in North Austin&never support live music.And please don't make suburbs out of the Hill Country.

[bleackorama]

No.
