The University of Texas at Austin Top Questions

The most frustrating thing about the University of Texas at Austin would be registration. As a freshman, you registrar last, after the seniors, juniors, and sophomores, respectively. It can be difficult getting into the classes you want to take the first two semesters; however, once you aren't a freshman anymore, registration becomes a much less stressful event.

The school spirit is fair weather. Also, they spend a lot of money on making things look good, but not as much as they should on their students and activities other than sports.

The most frustrating thing would probably have to be the traffic since there are so many people around. This isn't necessarily the school's fault but it does make things harder to get around.

I have never attended a school as large as this. Its size does pose some inherent issues, but there is much to be appreciated within the programs that are offered.

What I found most frustrating was just being able to contact professors when I needed help or advice. They were often not available during their stated office hours, or they would refer you to their T.A. for help.

Nothing besides the cost to attend. Many students can afford it, but for someone who's lower-middle middle class, the aid we get is a small amount and due to family circumstances, college is hard to finance for me.

I think it can be frustrating that it is so big. Get involved with an honors program or freshman transition program to make it smaller.

I do not have a lot to complain about my school. The only kind of bad thing about the University of Texas at Austin is that it is so huge. Getting from one class to the next on time can be a challenge if your classes are far away from each other. For this reason, many people ride bikes to get to their next classroom, so I have to constantly watch out that I do not get run over by a bicycle.

The most frustrating thing about The University of Texas at Austin is how big the campus is! It is inevitable that I have at least two classes back to back that are on opposite sides of the campus. I realize that I am in charge of making my schedule but sometimes, you don't have that many options. Since adding an in-campus shuttle system is not feasible, I think that giving the students a few more minutes in between classes is the best solution to this issue.

I can't really think about anything that is frustrating about my school. I haven't had any negative encounters here on campus.
