Being an out ofQuite BrightBusiness - Management and Administration
Being an out of state student in the business school, in state students feel very threatened. Don't go to a school because of the rankings - the business program was very weak and I felt that if I stayed, I would have learned very little. I got out of UT as fast as I could

Question
UT-Austin is a very diversed and well balancedBrightComputer Science
UT-Austin is a very diversed and well balanced university. Anyone who goes would be able to find a social circle to fit in. Austin itself is a city with a lot to do; clubbing, party, music, art, theater, restaurants. A lot of students end up partying too much and fail in school. It's hard when there are so many things to take your attention away from school work.

The campus is pretty big and nice looking, and students are very casual and friendly. The facilities on campus are really nice. Its gym is new and modern, students play sports at the gym until 1 in the morning. Being a big school, parking on campus (or near campus) is just impossible. Don't even think about driving through campus during the football games. Although public transportation is pretty good, it's still hard to get around Austin without a car. UT-Austin has an extremely big population, and getting to know the professors or getting personal attention isn't too easy. The class size ranges from 50-200. However, despite that, the quality of education is still excellent. It's well know for its low tuition for high quality education.

Question
Don't come to UTBrightBusiness - Management and Administration
Don't come to UT because of its rankings. That is what I did and I hate it. Choose a school that you want to go to and that makes you happy. Your grades will be better and you will have way more fun.
