In my opinion, the student is the only factor that determines his/her experience. If you want to PARTY, come to UT. If you want to STUDY come to UT. If you want to enjoy football amongst fanatics, definitely come to UT. I am not a football fan, I have never gone to a UT game, but I enjoy tailgating and after parties what can I say. I am involved in the student television, I am passing my classes with A's and B's, I have friends from all over the world, I have gone to awesome parties, weird places, exquisite restaurants, beautiful hiking trails…and my first semester has yet to end. I am thankful of choosing such a friendly environment. Of course, you are in Texas, don't be surprised if you ever encounter country hicks and racist conservatives LOL. Up side is that the campus so international, actually I can say that majority of my friends are international students and out of state- which is great! My proffs are reaching and friendly, although I have not met two of them because I have such a tight agenda and office hours don't fit in it. I can seriously say that I love this univeristy, but I do not want to be biased, so I will also give some cons. Registration is a pain in the #$%, but somehow I have always managed to get the classes I need. Also, the university makes it quite difficult to double major in two different colleges u.u, that is the biggest downer I think. Last but not least, it is hard not to get distracted with so much stuff going on everywhere.

What do you say about the people being open? I go to texas tech, and I find it very hard to find people to go out with. I'm not the only one. I find people here at TTU like to form cliques. Huge cliques. I feel like UT Austin has parties where EVERYONE is invited where people are more open. And its true TTU people are not so open because a lot of the students come from small towns. So what do you have to say about the people at UT Austin, and the parties?

You will find all kinds of people at UT. Generally people are open and accepting. After spending 3 years at UT I made a few close friends and a lot of acquaintances it's not hard to get to know people there. Overall a great school academically and socially.
