I've got senior twins and one of them is probably going the same route as yours at AR... Visited the past weekend and we all really like the campus and the vibe and momma loved the downtown shopping area as well. They did say on the tour that this would most likely be the last year of the out-of-state deductions - IIRC, in-state plus 50% for 3.2 GPA, in-state+30% for 3.5 and in-state+10% for 3.7 (or .8?)gpa. If both do go to UA, I'll probably be buying a house for them to share and rent out a room or have a place for us to crash, store my fly fishing gear and visit often...
OSU felt like a condensed version of TT but with a few trees and no stench but in the middle of no where. The town of Stillwater seemed tiny and you probably want to roadtrip to anywhere on the weekends.
U of Tulsa has an impressive business program that has peaked some interest with one of them but with only 3000 students, it may be a tough sell to actually live there. (Lots of business school kids getting hired at JP Morgan and Blackrock)
Mrs. took the boys to visit TCU, SMU, UTA and UTD. TCU was ok "Lots of new money wannabees" , one boys fell in love with SMU (FML).
UTD and UTA - saw them and left in the middle of their tour mainly for the comments previously posted especially about the social aspects. ("No way I'm going here...)
Arizona State, Ol' Miss, Texas State, UTSA and TT visits still to come.
Sucks that the kids attend a HS that hosts the district STEM program (not the school itself but because of the ranking) - a top 10% kid that would be top 6% without all the district kids coming in to attend STEM...
Both also have EU passports so applying several business schools in Europe as well - all with English only programs.
