Hate:

Football.

Way too big; impossible to get recommendations, make friends, get one-on-one attention from professors.

Bureaucracy; everything is paperwork, and sending you to the right desk.

No parking.

No campus dorms available for freshmen, possible not to live on campus your whole time there.

Must join greek life to make friends.

Lots of partying and alcohol.

Pervasive attitude of anti-intellectualism; making the grade, busywork, getting the standard job in accounting or whatever, is the focus of the entire student body and most professors.

Professors are incredibly condescending, make TAs teach everything, and only care about research. They do everything but come out and say that you're just paying their bills as an undergrad.

Really inadequate student mental health services.

Don't accept VISA for some bizarre reason, making paying them a huge pain.

Hard to get into any classes you want. REALLY hard.

Had really, really terrible roommates; drunks who never went to class, snobs, partiers.

Love:

The turtle pond.

The campus.

The funky downtown Austin vibe.

Some rare truly, truly excellent and brilliant professors with engaging teaching styles.

The shuttle system.

Responses

I'm a freshman at UT, and I agree with this 100%. Greek life is VERY huge here (at least 25% of the student population), and my professors have been mediocre at best.

I agree with the review. The professors I had were mediocre and rude. Many of the students are snobs and pests. Some of the students are provocateurs hired by the university to weed out independents and minorities who do not conform to white supremacy. Intellectual conversations are extremely rare. Football, kickball, drinking alcohol, smoking pot, provocation, hazing, and gossiping about other people are common behaviors. The student mental health services are deplorable and uncooperative. Dr. Diana Damer and Dr. Marla Craig who are counselors are snide provocateurs. They treated me like a criminal and harassed me to the point of anger and post traumatic depression. It seemed that they wanted me to get arrested for disorderly conduct or assault. Thankfully, I stayed peaceful and now I get to write about them. They are trash. Do not trust the college with any of your private information. They will violate confidentiality and they will use anything against you. UT Austin is a fascist dump and institutional discrimination is a huge problem despite what their advertising tells you to believe.
