The worst thing is the big classes. My biggest was 525. But I also have classes of only 25.

What I consider the worst thing about my school is the social life. Many are involved or want to be involved in the "crowd." It leaves students debating whether to keep studying or to go out and have a good time with friends. Although night life is a blast, many boast over going out and partying. Those who are studying see this and can easily get pressured into leaving their work behind for some relief of stress from school.

I wouldn't say there is anything 'bad' in particular at our school, but it does have it's downs sometimes. The resident halls have strict policy when having people stay the night or just come over late. Campus is pretty large, so walking from class to class can seem dreadful sometimes. Other than that, UT is great for me. I love it here and plan on staying until graduation.

The vast amount of activities readily available to participate in, combined with the size of the school, can be uncomfortably overwhelming.

The school is so big that if I weren't in an honors program I would have lots of trouble making friends in my giant science classes.

The worst thing about my school really has more to do about me than it does with the school. For me, the greatest struggle here and everywhere in life is money. It would have been a lot cheeper to go to another school but I wanted the University of Texas at Austin experience. I don't regret coming over here in the least. I just understand that I have to work hard.

Long distances to walk in May, June, August, and September seem doubly long in 100+ degree heat

It is known for its partying.

The only problem are the hobos, or transients that roam the streets around the campus. That is not entirely a school problem, but it is the worst thing about the school. I sometimes feel unsafe while walking around at night. When I am on campus I'm not worried because the transients are not allowed on campus.

The worst thing about my school is the fact that too many students here are only going here because they are legends or because they love the sports. There are too few students here that are coming here without the help from family and large sports related scholarships and instead are left struggling even though their intelligence should be merit enough.
