deekayen: If wikipedia is any indication, UTD is probably the best place in Texas that is best for me. They have an excellent Applied Cognition and Neuroscience program as well as a computer science department that is rapidly gaining national attention. The faculty and student body have proven to me to be top-notch and i've already had a taste of graduate school as I will enter the program having already taken 15 hrs of graduate level coursework. I was given much flexibility in my academic path as an undergraduate and the same will be true in the graduate level.
