Let me first start off by saying that I have ALWAYS wanted to goto UT ever since I was young, but when I got here, that dream was kind of shattered.

My biggest complaint is this;

TEACHERS DO NOT CARE ABOUT UNDERGRADS!

This is why you sit in a classroom of 500+ people and either listen to a 1st year TA Master's student ramble about stuff they don't understand or watch a pre-recorded lecture of your professor on a video screen. Your professors could care less about you unless you are a grad student conducting research. With such a huge endowment you think UT could afford to make more classes, or have more teachers, but all they care about is Football and Research. If you are coming here for grad school it may be a different story, but make no mistake as an Undergrad you are nothing more than a number.

It is a shame because Austin is such a great city, but you are stuck with 50k other students whose main prerogative is to party and be pretentious. I made plenty of friends, is just a shame that so many people are either so close-minded or so awkwardly liberal and idealistic that it makes for a very strange campus culture.

I only have 1 year left and I kind of wish I had transferred to A&M or UHouston, hell even Texas Tech, I have friends at Tech and they are having lots of fun. A degree from UT looks great on your resume, but make no mistake its not that fun getting one. You will be nothing more than a number unless you are lucky enough to have a professor who will listen to his/her students.

Oh yeah, if you are obsessed with sports than come here, the Longhorns are great, if you care about academics also, then go to A&M or Tech, they have a good mix of everything, at the price of a little less prestige, and a little bit smaller of a city, although Lubbock is actually big like 250k, and College Station is really close to Houston.

All in all, I would not recommend coming here for undergrad unless you are getting a great scholarship, if you have offers elsewhere you may want to consider them. I plan on going out of state for grad school, and I hope some of the schools I'm looking at aren't as much a machine as UT.
