Out of Staters Beware

While the number of out of state students does seem to be rising, the school isn't working to accommodate them at all. There are many issues that will arise living at Southwestern if Texas isn't your home. Getting to the airport is probably the biggest issue, especially if the best option flight to get home leaves at 8am. There's also the issue of culture shock. While it should be expected on a certain level, it can really put a divide between the in-state and the out-of-state. If you're brave enough to move to Texas, then it means you probably want to experience new things. The Texans here absolutely do NOT. Most of them can't even imagine being two hours away from home, and they won't understand why you are even here. They won't want to learn anything from you about what it's like to live outside of Texas, and in the end, will not appreciate the little diversity you are bringing to the school.

No Car, No Way

Texas doesn't believe in public transportation, so if you don't have a car then you won't be going anywhere but the Georgetown Square. The school doesn't have any way of getting the students into Austin on the weekends, unlike many schools outside of major cities. This wouldn't be a problem if the campus wasn't so tiny. You'll be ready to get off of the campus grounds by Friday. It can seriously drive you crazy being locked up in this bubble.
