Born and raised in Austin. Why do you think Texas A&M beckoned so loudly even though it broke my dad and Pawpaw's heart to hear I was going to be an Aggie? Best thing I ever did for myself, if I went to Texas my parents couldn't have afforded their dorms and no way was Dad letting his princess live in Austin proper, it is a scary world ya know. My choice would have been to 1. commute from the burbs or 2. live with my grandparents closer to campus.
