My school is best known for its size, spirit, and successes. UT Austin is one of the biggest universities in the nation and the world. Everyone knows who we are because the influence of this school is so far reaching. The research capabilities of UT rivals that of the Ivy League schools and the science department especially is top notch. Every professor I've had has been an expert in his or her field and most of them were published researchers. Most of them have encourage student, even freshman, to help them with their research.

Our football team is a pretty big deal (we are in Texas, after all). Our School of Communication has a great reputation, especially for film students. Our business school is also very well known and respected.

Football, music, business, and its school spirit.

Sharron

We are known for a lot of things, from football to the longhorn. Although we are a known University, I think we are most known for is our longhorn hand gesture. Everyone knowns the "Hook 'Em Horns" gesture. Even people that didn't graduate from UT at Austin will give that sign. We give our support to other colleges and our teams by raising our horns. It's symballic for our passion to change the world. By doing this, I think we have become well known for our symballic Horns. You know the saying, Hook 'Em!
