When I first contacted UT, I was referred to transcripts evaluation for transferring of credits. The lady I spoke was very helpfull and told me what I needed for her to assist me (syllabus, course decription etc..). When I received the information and contacted the representative...the same person told me, "Quite frankly Mr. *****, we just don't have the time or support to assist you." Serious. After I spent the morning making calls, asking other people for assistance, to gather the information I was told the department needed; and she told me they won't even look at it!

I got into an amazing program, and fell in love with the city of Austin! Absolutely beautiful and I plan to live there after I graduate. HOWEVER. I am transferring my freshman year bc everyone outside of UT is really nice (Austinites) but the UT girls ARE NOT. It is very sorority based. 6th street gets really boring and stupid because it is the same sorority cliques only downtown. Religion, $$, and legacy are very important as well as looking pretty every day. not for me.

Picked UT Austin out of 7 other schools that all accepted me and offered scholarships, and I couldn't be happier. My professors all care a lot about what they are teaching, and who you are - even in classes with 100+ students - and while there is definitely a lot of homework and work to do, it's interesting for the most part, and worth it. Student body has been overall very friendly and approachable, as are professors. Dorms are pretty average but not bad. Campus is beautiful, and there's a million things to do in Austin. Nightlife is very fun. There is a required core curriculum of like history, math, english etc and I think that would both me more if I hadn't taken advantage of AP credits - if I had to take all of the core classes, instead of just the few I didn't place out of, I would probably have a less interesting course schedule. My academic advisor is incredibly helpful. Financial aid is ok - this was actually the only school not to offer me any scholarships. I would just definitely recommend this school to anyone - the school spirit is incredible, the academic reputation is great, and there's a million and one things to do for fun. Come here!
