Texas Longhorns


Logan got a phone call yesterday. We were accepted to Texas at Austin. Not only that but with Scholarship! We are quite excited about this. We think Texas would be fun. Its supposed to be quite outdoorsy and friendly. We have heard good things. Here are some quick facts about Austin:

The official state mammal is the armadillo. This is one reason alone to choose Texas.

Population: roughly 710,000 people.

It has been on all sorts of "best city" lists

172 parks and 9 wilderness areas

You can get an apartment starting around $600. (as opposed to many of the other schools we've applied to where rent starts around $1300 and climbs up from there)

Congrats! Jordan served his mission there and LOVES that city. Jordan said it is really outdoorsie and they have some of the best frisbee golf courses there. He also said to watch out because the city slogan is "Keep Austin Weird". I bet you guys will love it there! When do you move?

Spencer's brother went there for his MBA and LOVED it. We actually really want to go there too, so I think you should pick this one. Congrats! Also- I can't wait to see Halloween costumes :)

Awesome! We're waiting to hear from UT Southwestern in Dallas. Dallas isn't that far from Austin, right? We really need to arrange things so we end up in the same place. Agreed?
