The University of Texas at Austin Top Questions

My favorite class has been PHL304 with Krecz.

Academics at UT are good. While there are lots of classes with over 500+ people, the teachers still make themselves available to ask them private and specific questions. In some of my smaller classes, the teachers learn our names. There is also a lot of student participation. I am in the Business school but I'm also doing pre-med. Business is pretty easy but pre-med is not. It takes a lot of studying to keep up.

I'm a business major, and I don't study very much. While the business school my be the hardest school to get into, it's one of the easiest to graduate from.

My favorite class was Architecture in Society, taught by Larry Speck. He is an incredible lecturer, and I really enjoyed the subject matter. Physics has been my least favorite. I just transferred into economics, so I can't say much about that major yet. But, UT requirements are great, and are geared towards education and occupation.

Teacher rarely know the students' names unless it is a smaller, upper division class.

School is hard but worthwhile and interesting.

UT is very academics focused. There are people at UT that turned down 4 years at Ivy League colleges. All honors programs are amazing and if you excel here, you can get a job working for any company that hires Ivy Leaguers. Easy for the first few years and harder within major specific classes.

EXCELLENT. I chose to go to UT because of the academics. Not to brag, but I was a very prestigous student coming from high school and could have attended almost any university I wished. I chose UT because I felt it would be the best choice academically and would allow me to branch out into other fields.

The academics are challenging. The classes tend to be a bit to big and make it difficult for discussion but they do give you a great opportunity to learn a great deal.

I love small classes because you get to be very personal with your classmates and teachers. My Advertising Management class with Gene Kincaid was awesome and we were about 40 students in the class. However, this is not the typical case in UT, usually classes are huge and they have the TA structure, where you meet in smaller groups with a TA, which helps a lot, but it's not the same as smaller classes, where you can give your opinion and interact directly with the teachers.
