The University of Texas at Austin Top Questions

Typically, you have to walk everywhere, even with buses running because they don't run on the weekend. This isn't so bad in the spring and fall but it's no fun in the winter and summer (both of which last the longest) and the school is so spread out you are constantly traveling both up- and downhill.

There is absolutely nothing frustrating about the University of Texas. At the beginning I was unsure about attending this university because it was not my first choice. Now that I am here I came to realize that there is no other university I would have rather attended. There is always someone to lend a helping hand or give a friendly smile. My professors and advisors are easy to talk to as well. The people are great, atmosphere is great, and there is always something new to learn about what the campus has to offer and the culture of Austin.

It is a very large campus and classes are located sometimes on the opposite end of the campus.

Nothing is really frustrating about it. Except I wish it was a little bit less complicated to change my major within the college I am in. It's a very complicated and drawn out process.

The fact that I cannot get much fiancial help and that the living around the campus is extremely expensive. The unorganized degree plan I am in.

Getting around from class to class on time can be quite difficult. With such a large campus, if you have back to back classes each on opposite ends, its incredibly frustrating (and the Texas heat doesn't make that any more fun).

I would not say its a frustrating thing but how big the University of Texas is. But i think that is a good trait in my college, because it gets you ready for how the real world is going to look like and how competitive it is.

Registering for classes is the most difficult, especially as an undergraduate student. You must see your academic advisor well in advance to plan out your upcoming classes in order to register on time. Registering on time doesn't always mean you will have a spot in the class. Classes fill up way too quickly even though the school saves spots for different registering times.

The campus is very, very large so getting from one place to the next can be a hike.

The most frustrating thing about UT is not the administration, the registration process, or even the academically strenuous honors classes, it is the parking situation. Being located in the busy city of Austin means a limited number of parking spots. This issue is not unmanageable though. My advice ? buy a parking permit for the garage closest to your dorm.
