The University of Texas at Austin Top Questions

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

Lauren

I love most everything about my school. I think the only bad thing is that it doesn't have enough affordable parking!

Ariel

UT is a great school overall, but the worst thing about my school in my opinion is the diversity. Being an African-American student at a predominantly White institution can make you feel out of place especially if you were not raised in that environment. I wish that more students of various backgrounds and ethnicities would come together and develop lifelong friendships and bonds.

The size of the University of Texas at Austin makes it harder to meet people and get to know your professors.

Jaclyn

hard to stand out because it's such a large school, in begining classes many times it's hard to get to know anyone because you never sit by the same person when there's 300 people.

Xenia

There isnt't really anything to hate about my school; it's great academically and we have an awesome football team. The worst thing i could think of would be that it is very difficult to find a parking spot. This is why a lot of students decide to ride a bike or walk to campus. There are a lot of housing option around campus so walking to class isn't a big deal.

Dominic

The worst thing about the school is because it is so nationally revered, it does make it difficult to compete on the same academic level as other schools. It takes some time to learn time management.

Megan

It is really research oriented, and sometimes the workload on the graduate students and professors is extremely high.

Doyinmola

The worst thing about this University is that it's rather to restrict your boundaries. UT is a huge place with so much to offer, but it's really easy for students to stop exploring and somply stick with people of the same race, religion or major and stop getting out and learning about all the variety that UT has to offer.

Katherine

The school is so large, that a freshmen who does not join any social or extra-corricular organization can easily get lost in the crowd. Also, the size makes it hard to get the classes you want as an underclassmen.

Erika

The homeless people are always asking for change. The campus is in the middle of Austin Texas and homeless people live on the campus. I would just love to help them more but sometimes they are so rude it makes me sad :(
