UT is a fun place to visit; we went to a coffeehouse right inside the student union. There is music everywhere in this town. Fair warning.....it is difficult to drive around campus, but it makes for a great walking experience.

We stayed at a hotel next to the campus so we decided to go for an early Sunday walk. The campus is very nice with many large oak trees and nice white buildings. The turtle pond was full of Turtles (pond sliders). We did not see everything, but truly enjoyed this walk at a quiet time of the day and... More

The campus is huge and so much to see and do. We went to the university store and there was a ton of Longhorn souvenirs to buy. You must go see the football stadium!

I always tour the campus when I have visitors from out of town. I attended and even trained to be a tour guide at UT Austin, so here is my recommended route: 1) Park in the Co-op Parking Garage in West Campus (or street parking if it's not available.) The garage is often free - and if not, free with... More

Stayed in a hotel within walking distance so took a walk to check out this impressive and massive campus. I would surely feel proud to attend a magnificent school such as this. Enjoyable experience. Check out the UT clock ( I think that's the building) lit up in red at night. I think they do that if they win a... More

Top rankings, pretty selective, reasonably priced...the flagship University in Texas. Plenty of things surrounding UT as it's right in downtown Austin.

Visited this beautiful campus to take in all the Longhorn experience! So pretty, beautifully maintained. Visit the free museum while here - so impressed with that! Nice grounds to walk.

Bus routes saved the day. Well-planned and efficiently run. Ceremony ran long and lots of graduates missed dinner reservations with no other options, which was too bad for them and their families.

This intimate (graduation at the Frank Erwin Center, where our son had graduated 2 years before is massive) setting for the English Department was perfect! It began as scheduled and ended as scheduled. All elderly/handicapped personnel were given special access. The weather was extremely cooperative, which wouldn't have made much difference as inside the climate was well controlled. It was... More
