The University of Texas at Austin Top Questions

UT Football. Much of campus life revolves around the events of the Longhorn football team. From tailgating to road trips to national chamiponships, UT football unites the student body.

There are plenty of activities and organizations on campus to keep everyone interested and busy. The social life is also very alive. Students love to go to parties and head downtown to 6th street on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.

greek life is very big on campus and a large number of people participate in frats and sororities. sprit groups are also popular and not as intense as going greek. ut does a good job of having interesting events on campus. guest speakers are usually people you would actually be interested in seeing. there are also concerts and other events.

Sixth street is fantastic and Austin's live music is incredible.

All councils in Greek Life are very popular - social, cultural, etc. I lived in Jester, the biggest dorm here, and students didn't seem to eager to meet their hallmates. The smaller dorms had a "homier" feel. People "party" at least 2-3 nights a week, but they could be just going downtown for a sober night of dancing.

Depending on the people you speak to, some students are more social then others. It seems that the more social a person is, the more involved they are in school activities. I for one am very involved with intramurals and making sure to play and lift weights on a daily basis so many of my friends are from that social scene.

Greek life is better here than anywhere else. Campus can be very involving too.

i love greek life. i am also involved with order of omega which takes people from all greek councils and brings them together as leaders in the greek community. i am involved with a few honors societies, although i have gone inactive because of stronger commitments to other organizations. texas exes is cool but i feel like most people just pay and get the tshirt and dont participate (myself included). if im awake at 2am on tuesday i've been at abels. but i normally dont stay there that late. i wish i did more on saturday nights that didnt involve drinking. i think that is easier in the middle of the semesters as well as at the end of fall semester when there is fun outdoor stuff with lights.

The greatest tradition in UT is longhorn football. That is probably the best thing there is to do during the semester. Everyone is psyched, and everyone is there to have a good time. UT football has been good the past years, and since they one the championship a couple years ago, love for this sport probably is greater than ever. Football season is just an awesome time.
