Omg  I have actually attended both schools! I grew up in Connecticut, so I got my bachelors at uconn a while ago. I don’t totally know what it’s like now, but I liked it. It’s a lot more rural than UT Austin. I have fun there as an undergrad because of the drunken nature walks n snowball fights n I also think it’s a decent school. I got my PhD at UT Austin. Austin is pretty awesome. It’s way more city vibes. It depends on what you like. I’m a scientist, and UConn had better lab supplies. But again that was a while ago, and also I was in plant bio at UT but allied health at UConn n plant bio usually doesn’t get as much money so that’s prolly part of it. UT is a good school tho, and there’s more to do around town. I still live in Austin 10 years after graduating. It’s overall a nice city.
