The University of Texas - Austin

I never cared for the student body as a whole while I was here. Too many are too self-absorbed. I got lost on campus the first night I was here and nobody really cared enough to stop what they were doing and give me decent directions. There's just not a sense of camaraderie here. It doesn't matter if you go to UT as well, to a lot of the students here, you're just another total stranger and they're too busy. Too many bookworm types who can succeed academically but lack social skills.

I didn't care for the actual campus, either. It's so small that you feel like you're in a little enclave of Austin rather than a big university. The buildings are really cramped. It's too bad they didn't give the school more room when they built it.

There's some attractive, classy girls here but there's also some not-so-attractive who think they are more important than they really are. You just have to be picky. It does take effort to make friends here. Most of the time, you'll make far more acquaintances than friends. Austin's a fun town but the traffic is horrible in downtown Austin, mainly due to small lanes.If you can put up with all this, more than likely you'll have a marketable degree (as long as the major's decent). But for me, I wanted more out of my college experience.
