I don't think my failure in the 'real world' is directly correlated to my time spent at UT, but I think it may have kickstarted it. The campus is very laid back, a certain degree of ambivalence is prevalent. As a gay man, I found UT to be the most supportive (and can I say lucrative) place I've ever resided. I would say about 1/3 of the students are gay, and this makes for a loving and accepting environment. Drugs are everywhere, but which University is free of that? Plus if you don't get a little high during College your not living. However, I had very little support academically from teachers, professors, my gay study groups…etc. I lived a life of fantasy and in hindsight, sabatoged what should have been four years of academic study. I had no idea what I was doing once I graduated, I guess you could say I slipped through the cracks, and that's not hard to do when there are 50,000 students.
