UT Austin is a huge research institution, which is both good and bad. There is always opportunities for research and getting involved in student organizations. On the other hand, the sheer size of the university and the funding increasingly poured into construction rather than financial aid can make it seem rather remote and indifferent. Also, Austin remains a diverse and dynamic community that defines the social environment and robust student life on campus.
