Good choice. BTW, I am not asking everybody here to tell me where to go to college. Just looking for feedback.

Well, I might stick to Texas as you would get in state tuition. The difference between in-state and out of state is 5000+ per year so if you go out of state you will deal with over 10,000 dollars of extra costs. Beyond that, it sort of depends on one's preferences. If you like the city, then you might want to go to San Antonio, it is really a nice city. If you don't then you might want to go to El Paso, which I think is a smaller town than San Antonio. I think I would go for San Antonio myself though because it really is a nice place to see, it has a really cool riverwalk.

Tim,

You need to look at each school subjectively. The first thing to look at is academics. Which school has the best program that suits your needs (whether you are planning for employment after getting you Bachelors or going on for post graduate work). Which school has the highest percentage of students getting jobs after graduating.

There are other things to look at too. Costs, location, design of campus, and in our case, how well the school is willing to work with us for disability issues.

These are all factors you need to take into account.
