The University of Texas - Austin
“I went to UT because it was convenientBrightHistory/Histories (art history/etc.)
I went to UT because it was convenient (I'm one of the surburban kids guaranteed admission due to high school accomplishments), not because it was a lifelong desire like so many of the students attending it. Honestly, the school itself is great; I wish I could say it's horrible, but the profs know their stuff, the school has tons of great resources available to students, and if you can find your niche, I'm sure you'll be very pleased. However, certain schools aren't for everyone. If you don't mind feeling like a face in the crowd, killing yourself to get to classes on time due to the school's sheer size, or living in a city whose unofficial motto seems to be "Keep Austin Weird," you may want to consider UT Austin. If you want to feel of value, though, chances are you won't find it here.

“Attendance at the University of Texas has beenQuite BrightMechanical Engineering
Attendance at the University of Texas has been an utter disappointment. Professors are overwhelmingly absorbed in their trivial research instead of actually teaching the material. Many are absent during their posted office hours, most likely to avoid having to interact with students at all. Ultimately, a research college such as UT is a horrible choice for higher learning.The only good points about the university are the few, very few professors who actually care if students learn the subjects. One professor would stay one to two hours past his scheduled office times tutoring students and his lectures were very clear yet concise. If only all UT professors were truly teachers.

“Attending UT Austin was the best choice IQuite BrightComputer Science
Attending UT Austin was the best choice I ever made. Great city, superior athletics, and the social life is great. Due to its size and alumni base, post-graduate networking is good. UT is great for self-driven individuals. If you are planning on attending secondary education, pick a major you feel will give you a high GPA and choose your classes wisely. There are many classes that can be rather time consuming. Austin such a great city with so much to do. Anyone can fit-in this cool place if they try. GO HORNS!!
