From the pics I've seen, Indianapolis has a great DT and seems somewhat vibrant. I would definitely love to check it out.

It's worth it. Monument Circle is great!

UT @ Austin doesn't have the same scope of broad reaching influence.
Also, academically speaking, Ohio State is one of the best universities in the entire country.
Well, not according to everyone. I'd much rather go to UT myself.

According to US NEWS, UT is the 45th Ranked National University in the US. OSU is 56th.

Depends on "which site you choose for your information", as other sources place THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY in a more prominent position.
By the way, I also noticed that O.S.U. has a significantly higher "fall enrollment" figure than U.T. Austin

Yes, we have still retained our status as the country's #2 banking center (after NYC). Job losses have proved not to be quite as plentiful as we initially thought.

8% is Significantly? Really?

Depends on which source does it? So cite them.

The only source I saw that had OSU ranked higher than UT, also had the University of Phoenix ranked higher as well. Real credible.
