When I graduated over 20 years ago, while UT had a good reputation, it seems that the reputation has improved. This has been a positive for me. I am proud of my degree from UT, although I am doing little related to my major. My electives did focus on business, so I have used my education.

But a college education is more that books. If you want technical instruction, there are technical schools for that. UT did an outstanding job of preparing me for the world. I spend my early years in Tennessee and Alabama, during the height of the civil rights movement. I was exposed to attitudes that I always questioned. Coming to UT, with it's diverse student population prepared me for the country that we see today. It played a huge part in building my character.

My high school advisor suggested that I go to a smaller school. I graduated from a small Texas high school and he thought the size would be too much for me. But I never wanted to go anywhere else. UT is the only place that I applied. I believe that being in an urban environment and being exposed to all that makes the school, Austin, and the country such a great place is just what the doctor ordered. It helped me to build confidence to meet the challenges of the real world.

I truly think that UT is well deserving of its reputation and the rankings it receives. I only hope that the administration address some of the maintenance issues with some of the older buildings on campus. I still live in Austin and enjoy being back on campus. I will always be a Longhorn.
