UT offers more opportunities than any other campus in Texas simply because of its size. Anything you want to do is there, and if by some chance it isn't you can start it with funding from the University. There is no way to not fit in at UT; there are so many people that no matter what you are into, chances are that there are thirty other people just as enthusiastic as you. In short, I have more chances to see what I really enjoy in life at UT.

We are THE University of Texas, we work hard and play hard. Classes are tough, campus is beautiful, not to mention we're in the heart of Austin. This school will make you want to cry around finals, but it more than makes up for it.

There's so much to do in Austin, and everyone at UT is fairly open-minded. Committees on campus coordinate lots of fun events. It's also nice that just about everything is within walking distance, and if it's not, you can ride any of Austin's metro buses there for free.

Alyssa

I brag to my friends that my school beats theirs both on the playing field and in the classroom. Our sports are great for bragging rights, and our graduates are extremely successful. Plus, I go to school in one of the most wonderful cities in the country, Austin. At UT you are exposed to every type of person, every political view, every race, every religion, every hairstyle. And I feel like a much more rounded person because of that. You can?t beat this school for its people and its professors, who are absolutely incredible.

Kirsten

What I brag most about when I talk to my friends about the University of Texas at Austin is that I made it through my first year successfully. I took twenty-seven hours my first year, (including chemistry, biology, nutrition, phsycology, and nursing communications all in my spring semester) and I came out with a 3.66 GPA. I also brag about the amazing football games. I have season tickets and you won't miss me skipping a game. There are many good things that come along with going to a large school, including our recreation center, Gregory gym.
