I have been doing some research on some of the schools I have been accepted to, and UT-Austin is one of them. One of my concerns is that the title of the program, for some reason, comes off weak. Why not City and Regional Planning like its UT-Arlington counterpart? Also, the fact that it's located in a school of Architecture bothers me a little. I know that this is a Tier 1 school, but does the Community and Regional Planning degree hold wait from UT? I really wish I felt more confident about the school, because Austin, TX is such a great city. I would love to live there. Can somebody offer me some insight into prestige or lack there of? I have been going over the website intensely, but not a lot seems to catch my eye compared to GATech's, Rutger's, or UNC's website.
Anyways, any information would be appreciated. I was just thinking today how I have never been at a bigger crossroad in my life than in the next 30 days. It's excitement, anxiety, fear and hope all rolled into one.
