sascot Question: What is a good college to go to in Texas? I know im going to a college in Texas, cause its cheaper, but I want a place with a nice dorm room and it has a great gym, but I also want it to be a fairly small college/university. The college campus has to be nice also. Like like UT where it is all compacted together and not like Texas State San Marcos where its reallllly hilly. Which one? Thxs for you answers 31 months ago seakitty Best Answer at UT austin there are new San Jacinto dorms (Dobie dorms look nice but i havent been inside), buses to get around everywhere. The campus itself, some say its big, I say it's not that big. I can walk from one side to the other within 15 minutes. There are 2 gyms that I know of, one is the Gregory Gym where there are three swimming pools (two of which are new) and it is veryyyy clean in that gym. There are many eating places too. I like UT, i wouldn't go anywhere else. everything is in walking distance and its just a great campus life. yes i do agree that classes are very full at times, but that's all i know so i am used to it. i guess it depends on the taste, i find it fun to have 300 students in my history class, makes me feel like i'm in college!

NameNick Question: Which law school? Washington University in St. Louis or University of Texas at Austin? I am deciding between attending the two law schools. If you have and good/bad knowledge/experience with these schools please advise. UT Austin seems more presitigous but a big, maybe not as pleasant public school. WashU seems a bit less prestigious but possibly a nicer experience? Will I have trouble finding a high paying job in Los Angeles with either school? 32 months ago student Best Answer UT is a big school, but everyone I know that goes there loves it. I personally think that you'll have a better shot getting a job out in LA by going to UT, since its widely recognized as one of the best schools in the country. Plus, living in Austin will get you prepared to living and working in a big, crazy city that has a lot going on. The problem with UT is that the enrollment is very large, so you'd be competing with a lot of students. But, that is something you could use to your advantage when trying to get a job at a big law firm.

Davo G Question: Student Exchange to University of Texas in Austin? Anyone got any tips for doing exchange in Austin?

Any recommendations of other unis in the US that may interest me? Im there for 6 months in the 2nd half of the year. I'm looking for a place with hot weather, large student population, easy to get into the scene.. Was also looking at Wharton College of Business (this is more of an academic option)- any idea if still a lot of nightlife/fun to be had there? thanks! 32 months ago Fly O...

fustian Question: University of Texas at Austin McCombs school of business? Can anyone give me the basics of getting into that college and what they specifically look for in their incoming freshmen? Can you also tell me if it's competitive or not and anything else you might know? 33 months ago bugbe... Best Answer yes, it's very competitive. UT Austin has one of the best law schools and b-schools in the South. You need to focus on stellar grades and test scores if you're coming right out of college. B-schools in general like people who have a bit of expereince in the real world - even if that just means summer jobs. So, work somewhere relevant to b-school. Also, they would be interested in people who have some niche expereince - like starting your own non-profit, coming up with some computer program, etc. Other than that, you need to interview well and have great recos from your college profs

I have a perfect GPA and am a vice president of Phi Thetta Kappa, the honors society of community colleges...I want to be accepted into the Liberal Arts program, but I know it is difficult so I am not really sure if I have a chance or not...Please Help... 33 months ago betty Best Answer You actually have a really good chance. They value transfer students from community colleges. Since you have a 4.0 AND you are VP of Phi Theta Kappa, you have a GREAT shot. I would also emphasize any other extracurricular activities and especially volunteer work and community service. UT Austin is extremely difficult to be admitted into... Good luck.

Im thinking of attending the University of Texas at Austin for my masters degree; just wanted to know what students thought of the school; the city, jobs, weather, people, whatever...thanks for your insight! 33 months ago mark m Best Answer I attended Texas State University which is half an hour away from UT. UT has a very nice campus, it's HUGE and very spread out though. Academically it's a good choice for your graduate work. Austin is a very cool city to live in. It's a little more on the liberal side. So if you're a really conservative person you may want to brace yourself. :) I've often heard people refer to it as the san francisco of the south. Let's put it this way. There's a "Keep Austin Weird" campaign there. Lots of live music venues, great restaurants, and clubs. The weather is very nice there. Lots of sunny weather. The people there for the most part are very cool. The job market in Austin tends to be pretty fierce. Lots of computer/tech based jobs. Dell, AMD, Apple... See all 2 answers

Whats the weather like? and the people? I've never been to Texas.... are the people who live in Austin hillbilllly's? haha... and MOST IMPORTANTLY...does anyone know what it takes to get accepted into UT as an out of state? what GPA do ya'll suggest I have.. SAT and ACT scores as well?? I heard its real tough. :( i'd love love love alot of details about what it takes on being accepted. thank you! 35 months ago jdnms... Best Answer First, I do not live in Austin. I live in Missouri. My little brother grew up with me in Missouri but moved to Austin well over ten years ago. I've been to visit him several times. The people in Austin are like people everywhere. You will find nice one and mean ones, kind ones and jerks. Are the people of Austin hillbillies? I would hazard to guess there are well over 500,000 in/around Austin. I'd hardly call that many people in a town hillbillies. I'm sorry to say but there are probably more hillbillies in Virginia than Austin. As for the weather. That part of Texas can be hot. I seem to recall my brother once said they had something forty-five days in a row where the temp was about 95 or more. It rarely snows in Austin. When it does my brother stays home. Not because he can't drive in the snow. Growing up in Missouri it's no big deal to drive in a foot or more of snow. He stays off the roads because people in Austin don't know how to drive when there is an inch on the ground. There is great bbq near Austin in a town called Lockhart at a place called Kreuz Market.

Best Answer I don't really think you make your decision based upon what everybody tells you. Every person is different and holds a different view as to how each school is. Research the schools at www.princetonreview.com and more importantly, make sure your FAFSA is completed so you can see how much aid each school will give you. U of T- Austin might end up giving you some sort of scholarship on the paper that they send you that contains all of the financial aid you'd get. See all 3 answers

The question is, how hard is it to get accepted into UT-Austin? Is it harder than Baylor University? or is it equal to Texas A&M or University of Houston? Any (serious) comments/tips are welcomed. Thank you. Additional Details I have over 30 hrs of college credit courses, close to 60 hrs. I don't know if this helps or not. I am a Biology Major, pre-med. 37 months ago smant... Best Answer Generally speaking, UT is very competitive regardless of what college or program you're applying for. However, you do have a chance to sell yourself through the personal essays. Maybe you could incorporate your previous "hardships" and why you chose UT to help you achieve your current and future goals. Even SAT scores could help you if they at least meet the minimum requirement. TAMU and Baylor are equally as competitive as UT. Even their satellite campuses in Houston, TX are competitive. I think UH would be the "easiest" school to get in, but it's not guaranteed. Another option is to retake the courses you didn't do well in at the school you originally took them. This way the school can change your grade on your transcript. Most schools will not erase or delete the previous grade, but they will take it out of the GPA calculation and use the newest grade. Good luck! See all 5 answers

shih rips Question: Southwestern University vs. University of Texas in Austin in the sciences? I was wondering if anyone knew which university is better in the sciences (Biology, Chemistry, etc...) or know which school has a higher percentage of students getting accepted to medical/dental school. I know Southwestern is known for being a liberal arts school but I'm not sure how strong they are in the sciences. If you could give suggestions or know of any links I would really appreciate it. Thank you. 38 months ago Sarah A Best Answer Both schools are great, but comparing them is really not fair. Southwestern is very tiny and therefore very limited in terms of funds. I just graduated from the University of Texas and I must tell you that the sciences are incredibly strong. The amount and vastness of science classes offered at a university catering to 52,000 students will far exceed those offered at a university with 4,000 (I'm not totally sure on the numbers). Texas is highly regarded in the academic community. It is also considered a 'public' ivy league university. Their engineering program is in the top 5 in the nation. The reason I mention this is because science is very closely linked to engineering. They also have a rare program called biomedical engineering. I have several friends who are still at Texas, many pre-med, who have all had success being accepted to medschools this semester. Good luck.

Which college would be the best? She's got very good grades, etc. but finding the best & right school is what we're trying to do. (Done all the locators on Prince Review, etc. need some real world advice.) Thanks. 47 months ago Psych... Best Answer Well, the idea of "best" depends on what you are looking for. UT Austin is clearly the most renowned of the two depts. It will be a big dept, very research focused, a number of classes taught by grad students, some very good opportunities to hear seminars by leading psychologists. San Antonio is likely to be smaller, more personal interaction, more classes taught by regular faculty. So, the best depends on what you want. If you want best from the outside, UT Austin has it hands down. If you want best in terms of fit for your daughter, I don't think you can tell this until you and she have actually visited the schools and talked to students and sat in on classes and looked at what fits best for her. Good luck! A fun but scary time! Either way it will be a good education for her. See all 4 answers

I have so many friends who go there, and although I don't attend myself, I've been there a time or two. Austin is amazing, it's really such a great town, really up there on the younger-people's places to visit list. Good nightlife and odd places to visit, plus being the capitol of Texas, it's amazingly rife with gung-ho liberals, as well as conservatives, both often times doing what activists do on the capitol building. THe university itself is great. Of all the Universities in Texas to go to, it is probably, and arguably the best. (You'd have to take that up with their rials A&M) It has some amazing programs, and as long as you can stand the fact that it also holds the most students of any other campus in Texas (40-50000, I think, if not more!) then you've got a great place to go to. Financial Aid is good, so I hear, many of my friends have recieved some. And international students are always welcomed, every college in Texas is very welcoming of people from out of country, and tend to give them wonderful scholarships (as well as their mother country in most cases), mainly because it makes us look good to have so many people from outside the states. I really would reccomend Austin, of all places, to experience America. The climate is bearable (cold for me is just awful, I love the warmer climate), the people are wonderful, and Texas itself is such a great expanse that it encompasses everything you could want to see on your stay over here. I know I can't be of much help, but I'm sure their website can help you with more details: http://www.utexas.edu/ I hope you decide to come to Texas! I've loved it this far! See all 4 answers
