Let me start by admitting that my first semester at UT was not enjoyable. My parents forced me to attend a state school, and UT is without question the best university in the state academically. Because they made me, I made little to no effort to get involved in the campus and begged not to return second semester. I did, and I am so thankful now. As soon as I joined an organization (I joined a honors society and a spirit organization) my attitude totally changed. Do not let the massive size of this campus intimidate you. I have found myself here, and there is more of a campus community feeling than you would assume.
Education Quality: A+, Faculty Accessibility: B

Quite Bright
In my opinion, the student is the only factor that determines his/her experience. If you want to PARTY, come to UT. If you want to STUDY come to UT. If you want to enjoy football amongst fanatics, definitely come to UT. I am not a football fan, I have never gone to a UT game, but I enjoy tailgating and after parties what can I say. I am involved in the student television, I am passing my classes with A's and B's, I have friends from all over the world, I have gone to awesome parties, weird places, exquisite restaurants, beautiful hiking trails...and my first semester has yet to end. I am thankful of choosing such a friendly environment. Of course, you are in Texas, don't be surprised if you ever encounter country hicks and racist conservatives LOL. Up side is that the campus so international, actually I can say that majority of my friends are international students and out of state- which is great! My proffs are reaching and friendly, although I have not met two of them because I have such a tight agenda and office hours don't fit in it. I can seriously say that I love this univeristy, but I do not want to be biased, so I will also give some cons. Registration is a pain in the #$%, but somehow I have always managed to get the classes I need. Also, the university makes it quite difficult to double major in two different colleges u.u, that is the biggest downer I think. Last but not least, it is hard not to get distracted with so much stuff going on everywhere.
Innovation: A+, Friendliness: B+
