University of Texas at Austin

Pros: Subbing- something different everyday. It is never boring.

Pros: Excellent academic program
Cons: Almost impossible for underclassmen to get into their required classes because of overcrowding

My daughter is a sophomore at UT-Austin (she placed out of her freshman year, so this is actually only her first year there...)

So far, she has not been able to get into a single one of her required classes toward her double major of Spanish...

Pros: Great Value in Education
Cons: None

Some time ago, I was there and had to deal with the day to day grind of study, study, and more study. All of that study did pay off when I walked the stage that May, I really felt that I had learned quite a bit while there. In fact, in those four years...

Pros: Great University
Cons: None

I should start out by stating the information on enrollment posted by epinions, is not accurate. There are in fact closer to 50K total students at The University of Texas in Austin. That aside, there is so much to say about why and how this is a great...

Pros: Good job placement record; strong undergraduate curriculum
Cons: High turnover in professors; little graduate funding available

I am a music theory major at UT-Austin. In the 3-1/2 years I've been a grad student, the turnover of professors in my department has been almost 100%. Of the six theory professors who were there when I started my masters (completed in 1999), only one...

Pros: One of the Nation's top universities
Cons: None

Granted my major was Economics so you may think; gee it is easy for you. Economics is a tough course for many of the students who attend college. The classes are often larger and less personal. This is difficult for many students, not only at UT -...

Pros: Great programs
Cons: Very large student body

As a current staff member of the University of Texas and a native Nebraskan, I have trouble being for the Burnt Orange. I can say that the students really do support all the teams here at UT.

The University has over 50,000 undergraduate...

Pros: Diverse Atomosphere, Quality Education
Cons: None

I am currently a senior at the University of Texas at Austin! The quality of education is extremely high for the low cost of tuition. The institution was founded in 1883 and has a lot of character and tradition. Forty Acres in downtown Austin was...

Pros: resources, research, select programs
Cons: undergraduate size, parking, and a potentially impersonal, get-lost-in-the-crowd experience

Texas may be best known for its outstanding sports program, which was dubbed by Sports Illustrated to be the best in the country using their various criteria. Last year, Texas finished 2nd in the country in the Director's Cup, a measure of the playoff ...

Pros: Best college in Texas...
Cons: Kinda big, definitely need transportation...

I'm one of those misplaced Austinites who got stranded down the road about 70 miles and was forced to call Suck Antonio home due to the highest real estate rates in Texas found in the Capitol City. Despite that, I made a number of tentative efforts to...

Pros: Plenty to do
Cons: Can take up a lot of time

The University of Texas at Austin, known to some as a party school, has tons of extracurricular activities for students. They range the full gamut from intramural sports to the Flying Club. Most of the clubs are official organizations as defined by...

Pros: Business school, Upper-division classes.
Cons: Large school not worried about individuals in lower-division classes.

The University of Texas at Austin is similar to my high school, Westlake High school in the sense that out of Westlake you could have barely learned geometry and still obtained a high school diploma while another student could have learned calculus and...

Pros: So many opportunities
Cons: Large class sizes

Well, I just graduated from the University of Texas with a double major in Psychology and Spanish and a minor in business. What do I do now? Well, now I need to find a job, but hopefully I wont have such a hard time after graduating from UT.

Pros: Top-10 teams in almost every sport, great coaches, rich history of athletic excellence
Cons: Students treated as "second rate" fans, general lack of fan support throughout the sports

Let's get one thing out of the way first: UT has easily one of the most prestigious athletics departments in the nation, with national titles in virtually every major sport, and a history rich with legendary athletes and the highest standards of...

Pros: Location, friendships
Cons: Phone service

As a former Dobie R.A., I can say it's the best place to spend your first two years of college. Here's why:

1. Large rooms, including suites with apartment-style living
2. Quality cafeteria- yes, it's dorm food, but I still eat there...
