Beautiful town, wonderful kept campus, Hardin Simmons. Red Brick buildings, well trimmed and grown grass, great people, and the football feild....holy crap. I wanted to plant my cleats into that field the moment I saw it. Made my mouth water. Theres a burger king on campus. How sweet is that?
Abilene Christian didn't look very nice. Sand lot with patches of grass and buildings. Did get out to look around, just drove by and looked.
Schools I'm gonna check out: TSU- San Marcos, Stephen F. Austin, Sam Houston State, and Blinn.
Well thats my cach up post. Happy Easter or Passover, whichever you may be. Its Easter for me.

Good luck! 
Maybe if you didn't try to be so clever, you wouldn't end up looking so stupid.

You should go back and check out the ACU campus. Its opretty nice. The buildings inside are so much better than out. The big music building beside the road is only like 2 years old (even though they mad it look 50). And most importantly for a feller your age... they have the hottest chicks in Abilene.

I hope that someday we will be able to put away our fears and prejudices and just laugh at people.

Abilene is a pretty nice place. Most will disagree with me, but after growing up in Sweetwater, Abilene is a HUGE step up. If I could start all over though, I think I would go to a public university. TSU is in a very nice part of Texas, and is quite fun as well.
I have attended both of them. Personally, I like HSU more than ACU. HSU is a very nice campus, and I think the people there are much more friendly than they are at ACU.
I will agree with melee though, there are some very nice looking ladies at ACU, of course HSU has its fair share also.
