Overall Experience

Most students agree that they have loved their time here at UT, and they wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. College is the best time of your life, and I can’t think of a better place to spend it than at the University of Texas. Students get a great education while having an awesome college town with everything at their disposals. Don’t try to graduate early. Enjoy your time at UT—go cheer on the Longhorns at all the home games for all sports: football, basketball, baseball, intramurals. See the amenities that the Forty Acres has to offer—the Harry Ransom Center, go to our libraries and see our more than eight million volumes. Go to Gregory Gym and the Rec Center—you have a free gym membership for four years or more—use it.

I came to UT convinced that I was going to transfer to a school in California in the spring. I spent two days here before school started and I never wanted to leave, even to go home and visit my parents and high school friends! I couldn’t leave because I was always afraid that I would miss something because there was always something exciting going on. If you are worried about the fact that UT is so big, don’t. All you have to do is find your niche, and everything else should fall into place. You can find it within your dorm, apartment, organization, fraternity, sorority, or classmates. Although, at times, it may seem overwhelming, UT is not nearly as big as it sounds. All you have to do is make friends, which you will, and the campus will seem infinitely smaller. Come join us!

I have wanted to be here since I can remember and never considered anywhere else. The faculty is good, but the staff and advising departments leave much to be desired, as they are often unorganized. The advisors seem to often be uninformed or not interested in going the least bit out of their way. I am sure there are many exceptions to this, but I have found very few.

I wish I would have joined a club or organization. Other than that, I loved it.

I’ve gone back and forth with this question so many times, but I’ve learned more here than I could have anywhere else, and I’m a more mature and a better person for it all.

I love it. I’m from Austin, and I could never leave. I love it too much. It’s a good school on a pretty campus. What more could a student ask for?
