The University of Texas at Austin Top Questions

Students who attend Texas are well-rounded students who are willing to put in the extra effort and follow the life motto of "work hard, play hard."

In my opinion, this university welcomes any and all students who are undoubtedly willing to strive for nothing short of perfection. Whether they wish to study fashion, engineering, pharmacy, entrepreneurship, etc., all they need is commitment to excel. A person with morals, values and a strong self worth and motivation is exactly what the University of Texas at Austin needs.

The minute you step on the acclaimed "40-acres" you will get a sense of how unbelievably large the campus actually is. With the size of the campus, comes the size of the student body, which happens to be larger than 50,000 students. The 50,000 other students are not only peers but they are competition. A shy student who is looking for a tight-knit community in their college most likely should not attend this university.

The kind who can get "lost" easily. Im from a small town and the city sort of ate me alive.

There are definetly UT and A&M people. UT is more liberal and more about music and arts whereas A&M is more conservative and "old school."

Honestly this school is so diverse that any qualified student should attend and therefore completely enjoy it. The University of Texas is a great campus for people from all backgrounds to enjoy a wonderful style off learning. The only kind of person who shouldn't attend this school is one who can't handle a challenge and one who doesn't enjoy being pushed to extend their knowledge. All in all, UT is absolutely great for almost each and every individual.

Someone who wants small classes and a small population Aggies Sooners

A lazy and unwilling to work hard type of person should not attend this school. I value the University of Texas and believe that the staff there puts forth all their effort to make this a collegiate, professional school. If a person is lazy and unwilling to try their best, then the Univeristy of Texas is not a school for them. The University of Texas offers great courses, tremendous experiences and activities for you to encounter. If a student is not willing to further their education level without making a lot of effort, this person won't succeed there!

Someone who is not willing to spend a significant amount of time in the classroom, and outside the classroom studying and doing homework no matter what the field of study.

UT is a very diverse school that consists of 50,000 undergraduate students. This provides one with a huge range of potential friends, but herein lies the problem. There are so many students and classes are huge. This makes friendships hard to form. I think that a student unwilling to put themselves out there and make the first moves toward friendship would not enjoy their time at UT.

I don't think this campus discriminates their students; people of all kinds attend this school, and they usually find some outlet to socialize or to express themselves. UT is also smack-dab in the middle of downtown Austin, but there are quieter places on campus if the social scene doesn't appeal to a particular person

Honestly, the campus here is wonderful. The students and faculty are so entirely helpful and friendly. Anyone that dislikes large communities or a big campus might disagree, but even in the crowd one can feel like their own person out to change the world. Degrees here do take hard work and planning, so a passionate attitude must be had. Any student that is unwilling to put an effort into school work should look elsewhere.

With over 50,000 students located in a very liberal city, students who hold extreme moral and religious convictions should think twice about attending a school with such a vast amount of diversity. Along with those who may find Austin a bit on the liberal side, those who prefer a smaller class size and more one-on-one time with professors should use caution when selecting this school because, especially with general education, class sizes can exceed 300 students. One might find themselves lost with the vast amount of people and feel more comfortable at a smaller school.

Someone who doesn't like big classes or having to seek out extra help to find the answers you need.

People should only attend if they are able to handle hard work and if they are organized.

Anyone who is not willing to work hard or willing to experience many different cultures and backgrounds probably would not like attending the University of Texas at Austin. The atmosphere at this school is so diverse and so creative that, if one chooses to come here, one is forced to both observe and respect all of the diversity. Also, being such a competitive school, one must be willing to work hard and determined to succeed to their fullest capacity.

They type of student who shouldn't attend The University of Texas at Austin would be someone who is not open- minded in personal views including: religion, sexual orientation, politics, etc. Because the university consists of around 60,000 students and faculty and is located in Austin, Texas, people should expect diversity and a willingness to understand others who are different from themselves. This is not saying that a student will not find other who are similar to themselves. This university promotes diversity, and a student would definitely be uncomfortable if they refuse to accept diversity.
