个人觉得两个学校差不多。我有同学在ut, 那里头两年踢人狂猛，据说一般都多招人然后踢人也不软。走了几个中国人。而且奖学金只有四年。据说是因为placement 不如人意，所以这两年改革的。好像也有学生都读了5年还没有毕业迹象的，还是挺聪明的学生，论文做得不得导师满意，所以当然不能毕业啦。不过UT排名要好些，可是毕业前景和排名不是相称。牛老师也挺难有合作的机会。

米尼苏达这些年在发展，资金充裕。奖学金挺大方的，老师据说也都NICE. 他们的经济课很好，因为经济系非常强。他们老师喜欢和学生合作，商学院总体很好。除了冷点，城市挺好的。个人觉得也不失为好的选择。五年的生活可能会更enjoyable一些。

As far as I know, UT finance phd's replacements this year resulted in only teaching school, not research school. I just don't know why they reform and still find hard to replace their students ? they gave out 8 offers last year! And I don't think they really need that much! UMN's replacement is improving recently. I guess the persons there are really pushing their students out to the markets.
