The University of Texas at Austin Top Questions

6th street is the shit. UT is large, but I like it. When I tell people I go to UT, they are usually impressed because it's hard to get in as an out of state student.

The best thing about UT is all the opportunity it provides for students to get involved in different organizations on campus. I would not change one thing about UT - it is the perfect size. People get excited when I tell them I go to UT, either because they want to go here or are jealous. Most of my time on campus is spent in class. College town for sure. UT's administration is incredible - it is very open and very organized. The most recent controversy is the robberies geared toward Asians. There is an incredible amount of school pride.

The biggest complaint about UT is the way the school deals with the students. Every student is just a number and eid to the university as opposed to a valued student.

I would change the lack of friendliness on campus. At other schools, everyone smiles when passing and there is a culture of general common courtesy. UT's administration seems to care very little for the students in comparison to other state universities. I got a parking ticket the first day I arrived as a freshman, for example, and wasn't given any slack for not being familiar with the signage. On-campus living is discouraged, for example, and food choices on campus are poor quality.

people are impressed by UT and I love going to UT. I think the best part is the diversity and the pride longhorns have in their sports and school.

Great school in a great, city. UT is in the perfect size city for someone looking to experience both the college life (contained within campus and west campus) and have access to what a city has to offer (business, bars, etc). The students represent a wide variety of people. There are conservatives to liberal hippies to apathetics. There are academics, athletics, and everything in between. Basically you can find anything here to match your personality.

UT is an amazing university with enormous oppurtunties. The size of it really doesn't feel accurate. Once you involve yourself in organizations, the university seems so much smaller. You can find whatever you want at UT. Liberal, conservative, charity, spirit. The best part, regardless of your views, you are bound to find others that share them and even though others don't, UT is a school where we respect other views.

The best thing about UT is how much it has to offer. The school is big but we are very wealthy and use the money very wisely. There is literally a class, club or organization for anything and everything you could imagine. THis affords students the opportunity to do whatever they dream while in college.

I love the main mall and the activities that they organize there every day. I really like the fact that they put so much focus in the UGL (or FAC) study halls because that way students feel really comfortable with the new furniture and new open hours (24 hours) that the UGL offers.

The best thing about UT is the diversity on campus. While I feel most comfortable around a certain type of people, I am exposed to people from all walks of life, which is a great asset. This school, in my opinion, is the perfect size. I spend most of my time in class when I'm on campus.
