It's the best public school in Texas. As UT, A&M, Rice, and Baylor compete against each other academically, each school brings something different to the table. Baylor - yeah no, it's in the middle of no where. A&M - un-lively city, it has the academic credentials, its basically UT without the TRUE college experience you'll find in movies. Rice- a great top private school, expensive but has awesome Financial aid. I know a lot of students that prefer UT to rice. You're only going to get 4 years...

I have enjoyed my time at this school immensely. As a minority, I feel this campus is one of the most diverse and offers a variety of Ethnic Studies courses that have encouraged and motivated me to be an honors student. UT Austin is one of the most recognized state universities in the U.S. and I always receive praise for graduating from this university with two degrees.

I really love UT. Everyone here is so friendly and you don't have to worry about being yourself. Walking around campus is great because the weather feels really nice. There is a lawn where you can sit outside and read a book with other students around you. UT is a pretty big campus, but you'll start to know your way around after a week or so. Football is so huge in this campus, and the student football tickets are so cheap! I usually spend most of my time in the library, but there are 15...

UT exemplifies "go big or go home." Everything is huge and loud here: Greek culture, nerd culture, minority culture, queer culture. Housed in a liberal city like Austin, there's a little something for everybody - and when everybody is 50,000 people, your options are endless. Even the honors tracks are diverse, yet all prestigious in their own right - from the Renaissance education in the 75-year-old Plan II Honors to the computer science focus in the young and inspiring Turing Scholars...

So happy to be here. UT is very unique and very fun. Being located in the heard of Austin provides you with many fun things to do, like the drag, the stores on south congress and even Barton Springs pool and Zilker park. Also Austin has a diverse and huge music and concert scene for all kinds of music tastes. The professors at the University are very knowledgeable and make learning interesting and fascinating. There is a lot of school pride and on game day there is burnt orange everywhere. It's always fun to go...

No place I would rather be... There are many positive things about UT. For one, it is in Austin, which is a great town for all ages, and it is a town that is a fast growing city with a plethora of jobs. The size of the school can scare some people. 50,000 + students is big, don't get me wrong. But it is what you make of it. Joining one of the 900+ student organizations is a big help in meeting friends. UT is a world-renowned university with famous alumni including Matthew McConaughey (famous actor) , former First Lady Lara...

Perfect combination of education, quirky charm and fantastic people and activities. The best thing about this school is not only the quality education it offers it's students, but the wonderful town the school is in. Austin, TX provides its residents with abundant outdoor activities, music festivals, social events, etc. You can grow in your education at school during the week, and learn just as many fantastic things from the surrounding community on the weekends. Whether you're attending the Longhorn football games, checking out SoCo and the millions of bats, swimming in Barton...

The Best University in Texas! Imagine attending a university that is acclaimed all over the country, where never in your life will someone have to ask you "where's that?" Imagine going to college in a city where there is always something to do, whether you're spending a Thursday night on Sixth Street or a Saturday afternoon kayaking down townlake. We have ACL and SXSW. We have researchers at our school creating life-changing research. We have a nationally acclaimed sports program. We are a family. We are Longhorns.

A University of the First Class As per the Texas Constitution, The University of Texas at Austin was created to be a "university of the first class"--and it is just that. From expert professors in their respective areas to students who are eager to learn and master specific content, the academic environment at UT-Austin is rich. The location of campus directly in the heart of Austin provides ample opportunity both on and off campus to experience such a unique and well-loved city. Expect to see a lot of burnt orange walking...

the best thing about UT is that its in Austin and theres alot of stuff to see and do, and i love the campus. one thing i would change is the fact that parking in austin around campus is absolutly terrible. i'd say UT's size is just right. I would say people act impressed when i tell them i go to UT. i spend most of my time shopping or eating on the drag or hanging out in the Union in between classes. UT is definatly not in a college town which rocks. I would say the biggest controversy is about...
