i can't do a comparison and i'm a prospective student but i did summer academy at UT
UT Austin has, from what i can tell, great facilities. woodshop, materials lab, gorgeous library. it's centrally located on campus - close to a lot of restaurants and coffee shops (which i am imagning will be very nice when i need a break from living in the studio). i visited classes yesterday and the professors i met were very accessible and friendly. seems like an active community - the lecture i attended yesterday was PACKED - students sitting everywhere - on the floor, on stools dragged in from their studios and just standing in the back. i think their events are very well attended. they have the vertical studio sequence - which i think is rare. it mixes students of various abilities and years, allowing for exchange of technique, ideas and skill but i think the more experience students are sometimes frustrated by this arrangement...that's the sense i get. anyway - a visit to each school would be helpful but that's not always financially or physically feasible. good luck.
Not much to add to brujitadulce's statement. I just found out I was accepted to the MArch I program, and after I finish my back flips will send I DO response. The graduate advisor is awesome, and shared a great deal of information in my interview. I went down to the material lab and talked with a few students, they were all very nice. The studio's were great; at the time there was a small group clustered around a model so I left them alone. Not sure where you plan on practicing; I think Texas rocks and from everyone I've talked to UT Austin is the place to be. If you look at some of the faculty profiles, you'll see they have a very diverse background. Hope this helps some..
Professor Palleroni and the UT Sustainable Design and Development Workshop will be showcased next year as part of a 6-part series on PBS called �Architecture=e2,� to be broadcast for Earth-Day. The segment, which will be entitled, �Design Like You Give a Damn,� will center on Palleroni�s work to provide assistance in areas hit by disaster, which seems particularly appropriate given recent global events. Currently, Palleroni is working with a student team to produce 19,000 homes for single mothers in rural Yaqui, Mexico.
