The University of Texas at Austin Top Questions

I wish I had known who was important in my department because it would have helped me get into the classes I should take. Some classes in the theatre department are offered only every 2-3 years, so if you miss it the first time around, you might never get to take it.

Orientation at UT Austin answered virutally all my questions. The advice I have is talk to as many people as possible.

Really all you could want is here; you just have to know where to find it.

I'm pretty satisfied with most everything I knew about the school before I came. Some people may find it difficult to get around campus because it is fairly large. It might have been helpful to know about all the construction too.

In high school, students are taught that there are restrictions. If I could have dropped that ideal the moment I graduated, I would have been set for college. Attending a university dedicated to research and exploration, I should have been more open-minded to what I could offer.

I wish I had the knowledge of knowing when to stop something before it was too late. I respect and think highly of the University of Texas at Austin yet it was not the school I wanted to go to, The reason why I am here is to please my parents and I was never really able to just say "hey, wait a minute this is MY LIFE, and I want to be happy." I feel like I am really missing out on the experiences my fellow peers take part in because I feel so extremely lonely.
