Why not go to UT, Tech, A&M or Houston?? It's half the price!
UIW is great. I love love love the faculty and staff. They genuinely care if you succeed. I have heard from pharmacists that I work with that recently graduated from UT, that this is not the experience they had. They said that people don't even know who you are at that school. On our second day of orientation, our counselors were calling us by our first names already. yup, all 105 of us. I thought that was awesome. We had professors carrying our pictures and names around so they can learn who we are. Every class is different but our class everyone feels like you are part of a huge family. My advice would be to go check out both schools and see what fits you better. You should go where you feel comfortable. Good luck with getting a tour at UT. I called when I was applying and was told "we don't give tours" Needless to say, I did not apply there. lol. I love the fact that I can sit down with any member of my graduating class and hold a conversation with them about anything. You should base your decision on the whole school and not just the price. But in the end, this is going to be a school that you will spend most of your life for the next 4 years, just make sure it suits you, or you will be miserable.
