The University of Texas at Austin Top Questions

UT is a great university that opens up an almost endless list of opportunities for its students. However, it is easy to get lost in the shuffle. To become a student at UT you have to be independent and know that about yourself.

the school is just the right size. It is big enough so everyone can find their own place. I spend most of my time in the Business School. Austin is not a college town full of amazing people and activities taht happens to host one of the best school in the nation. there is defenetly a lot of school pride you know VIVA the Longhorns!!. The experience that I will always remeber is walking on campus and seeing the mosd diverse crowd that I have seen in my life , trying to change the world by involving in different organizations such as Face Aids, Texas 4000, Panama brigades, etc.

The best thing about UT is that is really fun, we are excellent in most of our sports, but we have very high academic standards. The school is just the right size. Everyone wants to be a longhorn!!!!!!! I'm an engineering so i spend 99{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of my time in ECJ. The school pride is amazing. After all we are the BEST, how can you not be proud? UT football games are SOO fun.

I am completely obsessed with UT. I couldn't be happier with my decision to go to school here, and I wouldn't change anything. UT is big, but it isn't too big because people are able to find their niche very easily. There is SO much school pride at UT, despite the school not being a true "college town." I love that I can spend as much time as I want on and around campus, or go out in Austin and experience real city life as well. UT is a public university with amazing athletics in every areas: football, baseball, volleyball, swimming, and basketball is improving! The only bad thing about UT that I think is more a problem with Austin than the school is safety. I am always a little scared to walk alone anywhere, especially with all the robberies that have been occurring lately.

The best part of UT are the football games in the fall. UT is a football school and everything stops for the games on saturdays. My best experience was going to the Rose Bowl to watch the National Championship game. Nothing will ever top that.

I love Austin because it is a big town with a small town feel. Everyone supports local artists and businesses and is very welcoming. It is an amazing city to live in and I love that UT embraces that feel.

Here is something unusual about UT: in a place with so many opportunities, there is nobody to tell you how to "get there"- nobody gives you a break, and nobody does you any favors. AKA- the rules will not be bent for you. You have to find your own way in a school this big.

In the midst of my search for my major, I tried out quite a few classes. One of the things I have realized is some disciplines emphasize social justice and others do not even touch it. As such a powerful institution, we should be educating some of the most knowledgeable people but who are also considerate of their fellow citizens. I feel UT should offer some social justice class and make it mandatory to everyone. Yes, mandatory. But the kicker would the classes need to be less that 50 people each so as to facilitate discussion and proper in depth self-exploration. It could possibly extend to 2 classes, one with issues of concern within the US and the other having to deal with international aspects. I think this would help UT in the long run because it would not only get more students thinking about their actions but also make the university noticeable in producing ethical citizens.

I think UT should give students more ways to pick their major. Let them get a better taste of each major, since the first few classes a student don't equate to what the major is like.

The best thing about UT is you can always find a group of people with common interests. It has great academics and provides for a great social life. Austin is a great city to live in, and UT does so much for the community. There is a ton of school pride, especially with regards to football.
