This list is by no means exhaustive, but these are ten of the most well-known public and private universities in Texas. Each of these institutions has its own strengths and unique offerings, so I recommend researching each of them to determine which might be the best fit for you and your academic interests.

To help you in your search, I recommend using college search engines like CollegeVine's, which allows you to filter schools by a range of metrics beyond location, such as majors offered, selectivity, availability of D1 sports and study abroad programs, and so on. CollegeVine will also give you suggestions for other schools that might interest you, based on your profile and preferences for college.

Good luck!
