Overall, I like being here.
Pros-
-Austin is a great city. Got everything - music, parks, hills, lakes, clubs, bars, malls, etc.
-There is a huge selection/variety of classes. Want to take Urdu? It's here.
-Lots of people to make friends with, parties, etc.
-It's a good school. Academically it is a very well rated college.
-Overall good environment. In general the people here are friendly and open.
Cons:
-Texas is HOT. The weather is annoying sometimes.
-Sometimes it's way too crowded. And there are a lot of 100+ people classes. Like most of them. So it's hard to get to know your prof, and most don't really care about your individual grades.

-Housing. Only like a few percentage gets into dorms and apartments near campus can be expensive.-Parking - there is like almost NO PARKING on campus during the weekdays. So don't even think about driving to school. [Take the bus]

“I loved UT.Electrical Engineering
I loved UT. The diversity was really amazing. I loved meeting so many friends from all walks of life and backgrounds. Austin is awesome. The school is large, but I actually liked that. I can see how some would not like the large size though. It really just depends on your personality. My professors were generally quite good and helpful.
The reputation of UT is good nationwide. I am now at a top law school on the East coast and have just started to go through interviews with law firms in the Northeast. They all have a good impression of UT.
I was an engineering major and the program prepared me well. I did well working as an engineer in industry and have done well in law school. Many of the classmates I keep up with have done well in MBA programs and medical school.
Good luck to all of the current Longhorns! Enjoy your time at UT while it lasts.
