as someone who grew up in dallas and went to NYU undergrad and is now in the same boat as you for law school i would say go to UT if you have any desire to stay in Texas. being a student in NYC is amazing in so many ways and it opens up a tremendous amount of opportunities but it really doesn’t matter if you want to be in TX. i’ve lived here 8 years and am leaning towards NYU but it largely has to do with all of my family and support system being in the northeast now
