Austin's funky, anything-goes lifestyle exists in stark relief with the traditionally conservative Lone Star State.

Don't mess with taxes: Like the rest of Texas, Austin has no state personal income tax and no corporate income tax

The McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas is the 25th best business school in the country, according to the annual ranking by Bloomberg Businessweek.

The highest ranking Texas school was the Cox school at Southern Methodist University, which was No. 12.

The Jones School of Business at Rice University was No. 29, followed by the Mays school at Texas A&M in 30th place.

It was the first time that Rice and A&M have placed in the top 30 schools.
