Moving from Puerto Rico to Texas (Austin: schools, university, living)

Hi,

I'm planning to apply the University of Texas-Austin next year to do an MBA. I wanna know how good is the MBA program? How is the city in terms of cost of living compared to other cities in general?. How good are the job opportunities in the marketing/advertising industry? Any advice would be great. Thanks

You may want to make sure you get accepted before you start worrying about anything else. Their MBA program is really good, but a lot of people don't get accepted because they either don't have enough real work experience (more than 5 years) or their grades aren't good enough. Apply to several schools and then once you get accepted, use these other factors to decide which one to choose. That's my 2 cents. Austin is a great place to live, so getting into the program should be your priority.
