re: Would you go to Vanderbilt or Texas A&M?

Costs equal, obviously Vandy, but if A&M is less than half the cost, it's a no brainer.

It also depends on the field because they have very little overlap in terms of what they are strong in. A&M is a top Ag school and that's the field I'm in now. If I could afford Vandy as an undergrad, I'd have gone into another field.
