University of Texas at Dallas, that's the one I would pick if I had to between these two options.

Dallas.
Dallas is a big city, and it feels that way, it acts that way, and it is that way. The perks that come with a big city would be things like big city amenities, more variety of people, and more destinations by airfare, more variety in dining, things like that.
Orlando is fine, but it is significantly smaller than Dallas. And Dallas is in a metro it shares with its twin city of Fort Worth, polar opposite cities and each appeal in different ways. So you get two cities in one metro, and of course a lot of mega sized suburbs like Arlington, Plano, Irving, Grapevine, Richardson, Denton, and more.

If you want a milder winter then Orlando is a better option than Dallas, both places get hot and humid so if you don't like that then neither would be a good pick.

About the same, really. Both are affordable but have their high priced sections.

Personally I have nothing against Orlando, its becoming a big city and its region is reaching 3 Million people but I do think if you want a more cosmopolitan (diverse) city then its definitely Dallas. Dallas is more diverse and cosmopolitan than Orlando or Fort Worth.
If you want laid back and charming type of culture and friendly people more so, then Fort Worth (Dallas's twin city to the West) or Orlando foot the bill in this department.

No offense to anyone here or anything but yeah I would defffffinitely go with
University of Texas at Dallas over Webster University at Orlando. I "tried" looking it up, and quite frankly it doesn't come remotely close as UT-Dallas, at all.
