The University of Texas - Austin

UT offers highly challenging academic environments and the chances to meet people from many countries/cultures. A UT degree means a lot on a resume. It's not for the terribly shy or close-minded. Many freshmen "lose themselves in alcohol or drugs" sadly—lots of temptations in Austin.The competition for A's and B's is usually fierce. I lament that the costs of attending UT are now so expensive that many qualified Texas students won't be able to even apply. Overall, my years there were priceless, the best, but I had to work my ____ off to excel.
