The University of Texas at Austin Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about The University of Texas at Austin? Why?

Cory

the worst thing about my school is its sheer size. walking to some classes can easily take a half hour.

Brittany

How hard it is and how much money it cost to attend here. I believe this school is against minorites and thats why they are trying to whin us out. First it was trying to take away the 10{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} rule know we are on a +/- scale. I feel like education should not be made to make those who struggle a little bit drop out but it should be to help better those people to graduate and make a difference. The minorites drop out more than graduate because of lack of support, financial reasons, and the educational "challenge".

Registration for classes and the times that are available for some classes.

Lauren

I love my school but I guess you could say that parking is the worst thing about the campus.

Christie

The operations with the Co-op. The Co-op claims to function only to benefit the student, but they sell text books at a very high price and buy them back for about 1/5 of how much you spent them on. All the products in the Co-op are pricey, but I'm not sure where the profits go to other than football.

Francisco

The worst thing about my school, I believe, is that this school is known for being one of the top party schools in the nation. Although that sounds like fun for a college student, it can be trouble at times because sometimes one might be pressured into going out on a school night and later procrastinating on work that was not completed in time.

Sofia

The worst thing about my school is that some of the degree plans are not entirely made out correctly. As a fashion merchandising major I feel like I am taking a lot of classes that are not important to my true major. I also do not like how there is not that much opportunities for financial help..most people get loans.

Jake

I would say the worst thing about my school is all the red tape and institutions that you have to get through to get anything accomplished. If you don't know exactly where to go for the information you need to get, it can be very confusing, and also consequential to achieiving your goals.

Madison

The University of Texas at Austin's main flaw is its size. In a class of 300, it is difficult, especially in intro classes, to really connect with professors and fellow students. In upper-division classes, however, the number of students decreases, and developing a familiarity with intructors becomes less daunting.

Lynell

Honestly there is nothing classified as "THE WORST" at The University of Texas. Everything and every experience is amazing. If you would consider hardcore academic competition something to classify in this category then that would be my answer as the worst thing about my school. Yet what school is there that exist where there is no competition at all? You have to be hard on yourself and join the crowd of competitiveness which if you make the best of it, it shouldn't really turn out that bad =)
