Congratulations on your acceptances! I was given offers from both schools as well, and I was initially having a hard time to make a decision. In the end, Syracuse offered funding and UT didn't, so it wasn't such a tough choice after all!
For photojournalism, I'm not sure about UT, but I know Syracuse's program is excellent. Also, I believe Syracuse has a shorter program, which may be appealing to some.
Once I did the math, both schools would have ultimately cost me the same. In terms of location, Syracuse is close to a huge media hub, NYC, which has tons of Newhouse alumni. The Newhouse network may be very resourceful when you're looking for a job come graduation. And it's definitely colder than Austin. Coming from Houston, I'm used to the humidity and high temperatures, but I have friends that abhor the ridiculous heat when they visit us in the summer.
Good luck!
