The University of Texas at Austin Top Questions

Unsure as of yet

- Do professors know my name? Yes! If you make an effort to talk to them, they are super nice! - Favorite class: I love all my psychology classes, they subject matter interests me and the professors are always entertaining and very committed. - Least favorite class: Art history, I am not an artsy person and I believe that learning material related to about 100 slides for just one exam is asking a little too much! - How often do students study: The more you study, the better you will do. Lower division courses should not be taken lightly, many of them are tricky because they seem easy but in the end you may not get the grade you thought you would. Its all about building a good gpa right from the start. - Class participation is common in smaller classes and in the school of liberal arts. Alot of professors are eager to know what students have to say. - Do students have intellectual conversations outside of class? Yes. We carry what we've learnt in our heads and it comes out at some point or another. - Are students competitive? Somewhat. It depends on the class. Those professors which have a grading system such that they will award only a certain number of A's does lead to competition. Plus, when a lot of smart students enter a school, what happens? thats right, competition happens. - Most unique class ive taken: Art in the lives of ancient romans! Though art is not my strong subject, i absolutely love how much knowledge and appreciation this class has given me for Roman art and architecture. Also, it really wants to make me visit Rome. - My major is Psychology in the college of liberal arts and i am also a pre-med student. My interest in psychology, especially child psychology, has developed at UT with the exceptional courses and professors who have challenged me intellectually and increased my knowledge base. I chose to go for a liberal arts major because I wanted to broaden my interests as well as continue on my career path towards medical school. - Do I spend time with professors out of class? Yes! All professors hold office hours which are solely for students to come and talk to them or ask questions. Its a waste not to go to office hours because professors are just sitting there, waiting for you! Other than that, you can also set up appointments with most professors to talk about anything from career advice to possible research positions in their labs. - How i feel about this school's academic requirements: They are tough, but not that tough. UT has a certain standard, but it is not elitist. - Education in this school is geared towards: Getting a job, learning for it's own sake as well as building your personality!

At UT- Austin, you will find your self in classes filled with hundreds of students. It is difficult for the teacher to know you by name but it is not impossible. You just have to go to the teacher's office hours after class on a weekly basis for them to really get to know you. The business school is one of the top schools in the nation and if you're lucky to get admitted, you are almost certain of a bright future, of course with good academic standing though. Being one of the Public Ivy Schools, UT Austin is tough academically. You'll find the library filled with students everyday and much higher class averages compared to other state schools. How? Because of the Prestige the university carries.

I have been lucky to have been a part of many great classes. The last two years at UT, I have had many seminar courses with a small number of students. Despite the campus' large size, my upper division courses have not exceeded 20 students. In many cases, I have had classes with no more than 10 students, giving me the opportunity to really develop a relationship with my professors and classmates. It is very challenging but rewarding. I have learned a lot through discussion based courses that involve heavy reading loads, but it's rewarding and has definitely prepared me for graduate level work.

The classes are pretty challenging, but the professors and teaching assistants (TAs) will try their best to help you. If you go to their office hours a lot, they will start to know who you are, which is very good because you can ask them for a recommendation in the future. Some professors even provide online chat if you aren't able to attend their office hours in person. Some classes are huge, but some classes are small. It isn't really competitive because there is so many people. My major is nursing, and I really love my college because I got to know almost everyone in my class. We all help each other when it comes to studying or trying to understand a concept. Class participation is very common. I haven't seen a half empty class throughout the 4 years of university.

Given the huge amount of courses, one review for them all is insufficient. You can always find a course you want (and petition the department if it is unavailable) and find some peculiar offerings as well - "Literary Marriages From Hell," for example. Few departments here are truly lacking, given the size of this institution. The business school, of course, boasts a lot of amenities and inspiring professors. Other departments tend to vary, although I never once had a professor whose credibility and intelligence I doubted (teaching style, perhaps). Professors for the most part - especially in the honors programs - are accessible and friendly. Aside from the business school, learning here is mostly geared towards learning's sake, although there are plenty of career services on campus if one desires to seek them.
