The University of Texas at Austin Top Questions

UT is the best value education for any college student. The academic standards are high, the social life is great, and the sports teams are always fun to follow. There are 50,000 students, but it does not seem that big. There is something for everyone here.

Came for the schooling, stayed for the fun. The best thing about UT is sporting events, without them I would have gone crazy. Sure going to a university that offers a Top Ten education in Mechanical Engineering is enough to make me feel pride in my school, but "all work and no play makes jack a dull boy." Also Austin is one of the most laid back towns, I never want to leave. The one experience that I'll always remember is emerging from the tunnel into the stadium stands and hearing the entire crowd (80,000 strong) cheering TEXAS........FIGHT.... It was the equivalent from a scene in the movie Rudy, as his father sees the crowd in the stadium. The hairs on the back of my neck still stand up.

UT is a big school, but students are not just "numbers". There are a multitude of opportunities to meet people and make the university more personable and "smaller".

Best thing: Professors Change: Top Ten {4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} rule Just right size People's reactions are usually impressed. I spend mostly all my time at the PCLibrary. College town No real opinion on the Admin. The gay professor on a hunger strike for not getting benefits Yes, alot of school pride UT is perfect During one of my most stressful semesters, I was taking a final with no sleep, no food, and all coffee--everything started spinning and my vision was blurred. It was a horrible final. Dont really know

Love, love love the campus and just wish we were a bit more connected to each other,, i mean the student body as a whole

UT is the greatest college town on earth. It's full of drinking, studying, and it's huge. Best place to attend school since its in a city.

The best thing about UT is meeting so many people and making contacts.

Best things about UT are the school spirit, great athletic and academic programs, and Austin.

I think UT is the perfect size in terms of number of students. The giant student body allows a spot for everyone to feel at home. I think the campus is beautiful as well. The engineering buildings are a bit ugle, but that is ok because I am never going to class in that area. I think class sizes need to be reduced. Also, the constant noise from construction and cars/buses are annoying.

One of the best things about UT is how much the university and city of Austin can offer a student outside of academics. Academics are very rigorous and rewarding here, but there are plenty of other things that make this university great. The athletics are excellent both at the division one level as well as club teams and intramural sports. there is a great deal of school pride. Everyone is happy to tell you that they attend the University of Texas. One thing is that some of the classes are so big that they are hard to pay attention in and there is little one on one time with professors.
