If colleges were automobiles, the University of Texas at Austin would be a Cadillac: a famous brand, a powerful engine of research and teaching, a pleasingly sleek appearance. Even the price is comparable to the luxury car's basic model: In-state tuition runs about $40,000 for a four-year degree. (AP Photo/Eric Gay)
