About Austin, Texas

Austin is the capital city of the U.S. state of Texas. Austin, Travis County and Williamson County have been the site of human habitation since at least 9200 BC. "Keep Austin Weird" has been a local motto for years, featured on bumper stickers and T-shirts. This motto has not only been used in promoting Austin's eccentricity and diversity, but is also meant to bolster support of local independent businesses. (Wikipedia)

Does the school pay you to attend?

Solid value

A reasonable return: earnings comfortably clear the debt over a few years for most students who finish.

Earnings are the College Scorecard median for former students (working, not enrolled) 10 years after entry — not a guarantee, and they vary a lot by major. Debt is the median federal loan balance at graduation.
