Linda

When ever I talk about my school to my friends, I tell them and brag about the diverse atmosphere. I love that at the University of Texas at Austin, there are so many different people from so many different walks of life. I have encountered people from not only all over the nation, but also all over the world, everywhere from Dallas to Italy; from Virginia to Nigeria. Being at this school, I have learned so much about other cultures, things that I never knew before and I have grown to appreciate them.

Francisco

I brag mostly about the Red McCombs School of Business because it is recognized in the nation. It is a very competitive school and not everyone can get in. I also brag about how good our school's football team is . They were undefeated this past season until they went to the BCS Championship where they lost to Alabama.

Mercedes

At UT Austin, people don't judge you no matter what. In my home town this is completely opposite, so it's nice to have a change. You don't have to hide who you are. You can act how you want and people won't look at you funny or talk about you. Everyone just does what they need to do. They all worry about themselves and not criticizing everyone around them.

Breanna

How absolutely beautiful and scenic the campus and the entire city of Austin is. Another thing people dont realize, is that Austin is the "live music capital of the world"; there is a plethora of music and art everywhere you go, which gives Austin a vibrant energy that is quite rare, especially in Texas.

I tell my friends and relatives that it is great school. The students in my school are from different parts of the world. When you walk around looking for a room to see professor's or TA's office hours you here students speaking in different languages. It made me feel like I am traveling from China to Germany, then Japan, Russia, India, from Vietnam to Africa and then to Spain. I feel so great to be among so many different students. I love professors at my school. Their lectures are so interesting. It worse the money I paid for.

Arria

I often ramble to my friends about the diversity my school has to offer. My university has an amazing array of majors to choose from, which means one will, most likely, enroll in a field of study they are truly passionate about. Of course, this is, in part, what leads so many students to excel in the respective field of study. Furthermore, with such a large student base, we have a great variety of groups to help each and every student feel at home or be adventurous and explore new things.

The fact that we have it all. Nationally ranked sports teams? Check. World renowned academic programs? Check. Beautiful campus in a growing city? Check. And above all else, the people here are some of the best people you could ever meet.

I mostly brag about all of the opportunities I have, not only within the school, but in the whole Austin community. Around every corner, there is someone to meet and something to do that I know can and probably will affect my college experience. Since I am majoring in Theatre and Dance with a focus in Technology and Design, I often brag about the fun things I've done in class and my accomplishments in those classes. I also like to brag about our amazing football team. I'm not really a football fan, but I know football unites people.
