The University of Texas at Austin Top Questions

COming from a small town and an urban 'substandard' school, I wish I would I have know how diffferent things are in a real learning enviroment. It took me so long to adjust from crowded school halls and stiff teachers to a new enviroment where people arent always just trying to get past you and the teachers arent always just trying to get you in and out the class. I wish I had known how great education could really be.

There are two things: 1). Although I did meet alot of new people, I wish I could have been more open and friendly my first year at UT. 2). I wish I had the insight on what classes and professors to take and who to stay away from.

I wish I had fully realized some of the choices I would have to make.

Be more active in clubs, open up more and meet new people instead of sticking with just people I already knew, and take more interesting classes in order to find what I am passionate about!

How intense and competitive the classes are.

Live in a dorm freshman year. Thats how you meet people. Make friends in class. You will have to miss class at some point and their notes will come in handy. Get involved with at least one student group who is passionate about the things you are.

I wish I had known how to study better. I wasn't as prepared for the college lifestyle as I wish I was.

I wish I had known how to work the system as well as I do now.

How big it was!

I wish I had known how much fun it would be and how friendly everyone would be. I was scared to go to college without my friends and family, but now that I'm here, I know that I have my own family up in Austin as well.
