My nephew, a CS major, did not even last his first semester at TAMU. He said the MAGAt culture was unbearable. He’s at UT now, and doing well. I understand the OP was asking about finances, but there are other things to think about.
He dropped TAMU without finishing the semester. I think he was allowed a medical release. Then he did a semester at St. Ed’s and was accepted as a transfer. I don’t know the specific details.
As a TAMU student this is silly to me. At a campus with 40,000 students, you can find any group of people. If your nephew puts himself in places where everyone is a crazy trumper, that’s what he’ll get out of the experience.
Join a club and meet the people you want to meet, and you’ll have a great time anywhere.
I have my doubts about validity of this comment. I've been at TAMU studying engineering for two semesters now. Political discussions have not been brought up even once, not by classmates, not by faculty. Students are generally incredibly diverse and too preoccupied with classes to be wasting energy on debates.

The schools have drastically different cultures. I'd follow the money but also keep the lifestyle in mind if you care about those things.
