- I have encountered all sorts of students on campus. Although the school has a larger percentage of white students, there is a significant number of hispanics and african americans as well as alot of international students. Religiously, everyone exists peacefully. There are religious societies and everyone is very respectful of the other's religion. The LGBT community is also existent and do not face any discrimination whatsoever. There are students of all socio-economic backgrounds, which is helped by the fact that UT offers alot of scholarships. - Students that would feel out of place at this school? I feel that UT is very accommodating to all sorts of individuals. - What do most students wear to class: T shirt and shorts! In the Texas heat, what else can you expect! - Do different types of students interact? Definitely! everyone is very friendly and welcoming. There are lots of opportunities to interact with other in classrooms, campus events, greek events, and campus organizations. - Four tables of students in the dining hall would have all sorts of people, there isnt much segregation. - Most students are from: Texas (since its a public school). - Financial backgrounds most prevalent: From what i can see, I would say middle class. - There are student government elections as well as groups that are attuned towards politics. It isnt SUCH a huge aspect of campus life, but it is there for those who are interested. No predominant left or right sentiments that I know of. - Do students talk about how much they will earn one day? Depends on the students! But most students know that they will have a good career ahead of them after graduating from UT Austin.

-You have the pretty white sorority girls that typically wear northface jackets. -Fraternity guys in Ralph Lauren Shirts and sperrys (shoes) -You also have Minority/Asian Fraternities- Sororities, who dress and act like normal college students - You'll find ridiculously rich students to dirt poor students. -Students playing acoustic guitar all over campus -UT Austin does a very good job with ethnicity proportions. Though it does feel like there are Asians everywhere, which is completely cool. I myself is Pakistani, and i have tons of indian/pakistani friends but I also have loads of white friends. I don't really see that many african american students here but when i do, i tend to see them bound to each other. I would say that if you were a student who felt left out here at UT - Austin. There has to be something seriously wrong with you. There is a practically every type of person out here, and the City itself has so much to offer being the lively city that it is. I guess that if you tend to be a extreme conservative, you might feel slightly out of place here as UT is a Radical Liberal school. You'll find the more conservative students in high school go to our rival school - Texas A&M at College Station.
