> Ihave no idea if UT Austin is a good comp sci program or if you're being sarcastic. This is the first I've heard of it.
UT Austin actually does have a wonderful CS program.* The reason you likely haven't heard about it is that it is notoriously difficult for out-of-state students in the US to get into UT Austin, so you don't have as diverse a student body (geographically speaking) as you do at many other top schools. Less than 10% of undergrads are not Texans.
* I didn't go there myself, but I've worked with people who did, and they are top-notch.
