My favorite is the University of Texas at Austin because of it's location next to downtown Austin and the incredible amount of students that go there.

I also like Rice University because it's so beautiful. It's also in an ideal location.

Texas A&M and Rice. I went to A&M and it was an awesome school to go to, many lifelong friends were made there. I also like Rice too because it is ivy league like only here in Houston.

I love the University of North Texas. My wife and I graduated from there after we married. She transferred from Baylor, and I transferred from Hardin-Simmons. Going to UNT was a great experience!

Texas Women's University in Denton Texas. It has a beautiful campus, chapel and some great dorms. When I attended, we had small classes and some great professors. I was able to participate in some research programs as an undergraduate.

You uT folks must love concrete. It has a certain appeal I suppose.

My favorite schools, well Texas Tech because I grew up around Lubbock and got my degree from there. Beautiful campus, friendly people and a great sense of community at Tech. Guns Up! Wreck 'Em!

After that, I always liked TCU's campus. Plus Fort Worth is a great town. And I'll throw in TSU in San Marcos mainly because of the river.

UT is my favorite. I don't care too much for the architecture, but I spent most of my time there inside the computer lab or the biology buildings. Wonderful scientific community and great city.

I also spent a few years at UNT. I liked the 'small/college town' feel of Denton.

I haven't visited Rice yet, but I would love to do so. Many of my friends went there for their undergraduate or graduate degrees.
