There's so much to do here. There's always something going on around campus or in the city of Austin. You will never be bored here. Although that can be bad when you're trying to focus on your studies.

We have a clock tower! I'm constantly telling them that if I ever get lost in the city, all I have to do is look for the tower and I'm able to get myself home!

That the University of Texas was ranked the seventh best University in the United States and the twenty-sixth best in the world by the Center for World University Rankings.

This school is unnecessarily hard but that's what will prepare me for the future.

Olivia

We've got the best resources: a fun surrounding-city (unofficial city motto: Keep Austin Weird), our university's own 24-hour television network, and the largest university art museum in the U.S - check. There's more. Academically, we are ranked number one nationwide for our Accounting, Petroleum Engineering, Archives and Preservation, and Latin American History program. There's no reason to argue whether brains or bronze is more important. At UT, we've got both.

Samantha

The great research oppotunities, the national rankings of the programs, and the professors.

There was never any coddling. I was held to a high standard and expected to perform. Since we rise or sink to the level of the expectations set before us, I was able to excel because I was challenged.

Kim

The broadcasting program at UT is incredible. After competing in pagenats for so long it was clear that my ultimate goal was to have my own talk show. The College of Communication at UT is one of the best in the Nation. Also, the Vietnamese Student Association is huge. As someone who is currently raising money for Wounded Vietnam War Veterans, having a large VSA is a great support system. UT has over 50,000 students, everyone fits in. Everyone can call it home.

Jerushia

I met a lot of really great people even though I am a non-traditional student. I never felt out of place. I encourage all to attend college.

Laila

We have the most exciting football games. Everyone shows their spirit as they walk around cheering while wearing burnt orange. Everyone is prideful here, and it makes the over atmosphere on campus that much more delightful. We have so many clubs and programs on campus to join if you want to make friends. There is something for everyone. The people are really nice here. I made friends quickly. We have an amazing Women's Rugby Team (which I have joined). We have downtown Austin at our fingertips which is amazing. UT Austin was a great choice for me.
