The University of Texas at Austin Top Questions

No two students are the same. UT is such a diverse population -- there are the annoying frat boys, the really smart engineers who will change the world, the pre-med students who you know are going to save someone's life some day. We are all very laid back -- find us in class in nike shorts and tshirts -- but we like to have fun as well (We weren't once ranked the #1 party school for nothing!). Find us on sixth street or running around west campus all dolled up on the weekends!

My classmates are an ecclectic group of intelectuals dedicated to challenging themselves and making the world a better place.

My classmates are helpful and ready to learn.

On my first day of chemistry class as a freshman, I was mind boggled by the number of students in my class. I saw well over 400 students eagerly waiting to reach a comfort level by becoming accustomed to academic life as well as finding friends. I feel like everyone I see on campus is my friend. These kids are so open minded and mature that I did not even feel like I was in a new city surrounded my strangers. I have made plenty of friends and relationships that will last a lifetime.

My classmates were diverse, intelligent and willing to work together in solving problems. The fact that everyone came from diverse background helped in the assimilation as a new student.

My classmates are social, outgoing, and friendly. They are driven to do well, but making and maintaining friendships is also important to them. My classmates have my back if I miss class or I do not understand what is going on in class. We lean on each other for support and in time of a crisis (like the shooter last semester) we stick together.

My classmates so far have been fantastic people, very easy to get along with, very outgoing, and I really feel that they can relate to me on an intellectual level.

My classmates are all extremely bright. They work hard and some of them know how to play hard as well. When I need notes or help studying, they're always there to help me out. They are fun to be around and people I can trust.

My classmates are a diverse group of people who enjoy school as much as I do.

My classmates are generally very smart. In high school, I made the required 8 percentile easily. Here, the competition is fierce. Classes are large for the most part, upwards of 500 students in classroom and the students take college a lot more seriously than anyone ever did in high school. Even still, they are really easy to talk to and it is not difficult to make friends here. Dorm life, especially co-ed, is really fun when schedules finally match up and we can actually hang out. Classes ask a lot though and it keeps us really busy.
