Seriously? That's the only reason why they got that many applicants from Cali...and that many applicants period. Success in the sporting world, mainly football and basketball, will increase applications. Ask any school that have had good runs. The same thing happened with VCU, for example, after the Final Four (even though they lost).



What does this even mean? Is there a list of the largest cultural districts? What is in a cultural district? And is it by land area, because the number of museums isn't that big and most of the FW Cultural District is single family homes (going by the map).
Trae its to early to be being difficult... What does single family homes have to do with this? Besides the heart of the cutural district is very urban West and 7th comes to mind. There are a lot of museums around the more world renowned museums. Museums are just one part of a cultural district. Will Rogers Memorial, Botanical gardens, Omni theater, etc are all located in the district. You should know this already...

I know what you're talking about, I just don't understand where the ranking came from. Link? That whole TCU/Cultural District area is the nicest area of FW, IMO.

University areas/ cultural districts usually are really nice areas.

There are major misses in Texas though
UH is probably the most glaring miss. Around UT is fun, but kinda not so good looking. Others:
TSU
Incarnate Word
Lady of the lake
St Mary's U
UTSA
PV A&M............

I like the areas around Rice and SMU the best.

No I caught that. That's why I posted those pics in sarcasm.
