If you're a liberal then stay the frick away.
If you're in love with Texas and want to tell everyone how it's the best country in the world then don't step foot in LA.
If you don't like to party or aren't willing to learn how to then please, stay in TX.
If you're never going to contribute anything to the state of LA then get an education elsewhere.

If your choices are UT and LSU, you can't go wrong with either, but you'll have a better overall social experience at LSU which is a big factor in life/success in business after college (even though UT is rated higher academically for most majors). I graduated from LSU in 87 and UT-Austin grad school in 89. It was open admissions in the 80's and LSU has tightened academically over the last two decades. Yes, Austin is a cool town, with 6th Street bars and music, good food, Lake Travis, etc. Definitely does not suck and I really liked Austin as a city. I had my share of fun in Austin. But LSU is a life-long experience with strong ties even in Texas. I live near SMU in Dallas and the LSU alums in Dallas are very strong here and have much more fun and as strong connections even in our 40's than any UT bunch I've come across. The roar at Tiger Stadium, the pre-game march by the band ... versus the golf clap applause at Royal Memorial (or whatever it is called now) ... not a comparison. I go to Tiger Stadium every year but I have been back to a UT game only once in about 18 years. I also worked at a bar at LSU while there and was in a fraternity. Didn't graduate on time (took a few extra years) but wouldn't trade the experience for anything.
The other schools in Texas? Not even a comparison. Baylor and the small schools, I have many friends who went there, they all talk about how much fun we must have had at LSU. A&M? Good business ties after college, the Aggies are zealots, but I can't even begin to understand why TX high schoolers from good schools choose A&M over UT. College Station is equivalent to Starkville MS. Unless you want to be a vet or otherwise do strange things with animals, I'd avoid A&M.
So if you can get into both, you have some choices, but I really would think you'd be happier at LSU and if LSU vs. Baylor or the small TX schools, don't even waste your time. Send in your acceptance letter to the Ole War Skule. You won't regret it.

Thank you twill5050 
The bonds that we Tigers have cannot be explained, but all of us understand it.
We were at LSU at the same time.

I don't know about that. I'd say both universities provide great social atmospheres. Austin definitely has the better nightlife and Greek life at UT has nicer houses and bigger parties, but I'd still much prefer the Greeks at LSU than UT Greeks. I'd also say in terms of entertainment, bars, and having a lot of social options to offer, UT definitely has LSU beat, but when it comes to the people, Louisiana is far superior socially.
It's hard to say which school offers a better "social experience."

Tigerbait46,
I think it has to do with how you define social experience, as you did put it in quotes, I agree it is a little subjective. Better Greek parties? Not back in this geezer's heyday. We had beer trucks in the front yard and kegs all over the house and yard on Dalrymple. Committed dozens of perverted acts, so profound and disgusting, that decorum prevents listing them here. I'm sure the UT Greeks had or have their share of fun like we did, but pound for pound, I'd put any LSU partier against a Longhorn in terms of seeking and finding a good time. But alas, I have heard things are different now in the Greek system and I know I am probably a little dated ... But, the people ARE more colorful in Louisiana (then and now). I would discount my view a little as grad school is not the same as undergrad, but I don't think I'm far off. Austin does have better nightlife in terms of musical venues and bars than BR but we always made our own parties in BR anyway. You make good points, it may come down to whether this recruit wants to eat boudin and swill beer at crawfish boils versus the BBQ and Tex Mex of Austin. I know which one I'd pick.

Oh believe me I've heard the stories of what the Greek system used to be
. But unfortunately, you are right about today's Greek system. The days of kegs on the front lawn and 3 day long parties are probably gone forever. Everything is so regulated now that it's hard to have all the fun you want at the house (on campus and technically dry). At UT, I know many, if not all houses are off campus so the university can't put all of the restrictions on them. Plus, that school and many of their fraternities are made of $$$. It's unfair to tell you the truth. Having said that about the two Greek systems, I definitely I agree with this too:

As an out-of-stater who visited south LA and LSU frequently before becoming a student, but never actually resided in the state, I can guarantee you that Louisiana people are professionals when it comes to partying compared to Texans or anyone else in this country.

If you need to be convinced to come to LSU your at a loss.

I went to UT and LSU. Both are great, very different.
Liberal/conservative, frat/no frat, boy/girl, human/martian: See LSU for yourself. You'll discover a damn good education and the have time of your life.

Tiger Stadium is like one big partying family. It's hard to explain, maybe because of the culture of Louisiana, but when you are in Tiger Stadium, you feel like you are with your family.
It's a close bond with LSU fans, even at away games. Try tailgating with Tiger fans and you will experience what I am talking about. Come to LSU for a night game, walk around campus all day before the game, talk to people (here in South Louisiana, people will talk your head off) and I GUARANTEE that you will be invited to so many tailgates that you will be stuffed (liquor and food-wise). LSU and Tiger Stadium are like NOWHERE else. You will meet people at LSU that you will have as friends for a lifetime. Let's face it.....book knowledge you can get anywhere, if you want to learn, you will........but here at LSU, you will have learned more than you will by just having opening a book. The people here are like nowhere else. There is no place like L.S.U.

I go to Baylor and love it. I am still a huge LSU fan. Grant it, there is ABSOLUTELY nothing like Saturday Night in Tiger Stadium. But Baylor Football is going to shock the country next year, yes we will be in a bowl game.
Baylor is a very hard school. I'm in Business School its ranked #35 in country. Facilities are much nicer at Baylor, hands down. Waco is not that bad, although I'm not a huge partier.
Can't go wrong with either.

UTSA - no. ull end up partying too much, probly wont get into UT anyways.
Sam - if you enjoy living in towns with 14 people, go to Sam
Baylor - are you fricking serious? do you even like football? how about beer?
Look dude, both my parents went to LSU, grew up going to the games. nothing compares. ESPECIALLY not UT games. I mean half the student section is fricking asian. I went to UT b/c for one, it was above and beyond LSU academically, and two, I had residency in texas. Given your choice, however, I'd take LSU in a heartbeat. Their above your other choices academically anyways, and the fun doesnt even compare.
