<p>Today, I'm going to do a self-tour at UT Austin. What questions should I ask, and what's the most important places to see?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>Step 1: go to the UT-Austin forum
Step 2: don’t go to UT-Austin because it’s not a good school
Step 3: be successful and wealthy</p>
<p>^ “UT Austin is not a good school”</p>
<p>Why do you say so?</p>
<p>All the buildings are pretty different, so look at the buildings where YOU would be. Look at a classroom bc that’s where you would be studying. Check out the dorms your interested in and the kind of food they serve (it’s what you will be eating for at least four years). Look at what your interested in- for instance, do you care about Greek life? If so, look at the houses.</p>
<p>Well, isn’t it ranked like 50th? I call that not very good…</p>
<p>@antipacifist, it’s narrow-minded to judge a college based on one overall simple rank, especially UT since it’s huge and has many opportunities. If you want your ranks, just take a look at each individual school. UT Engineering is ranked sixth in the world and ninth in the nation. Also, UT Business is ranked in top 10. When I visited UT a few weeks ago, I felt it’s a very good school, maybe not your elite Harvard or Yale, but a place that I could get a rigorous curriculum and a plethora of research opportunities. Please look up a school before you give advice and not just its so-called ranking. It’s all relative.</p>
<p>meh, if you like football, beer, dumb girls, the ugliest color in the color spectrum, and heat, it’s a great school. i live right across campus actually. the student body in general is not very intellectual, immature, and loud. however, if you search closely, there are a few artistic and intelligent souls out there. </p>
<p>oh and it feels like a factory since it’s as big as a city. (50,000 students, not counting staff, faculty, and grads)</p>
<p>FYI, the 50,000 IS counting grad students (around 13,000). Not to say that there aren’t a LOT of people here. And globy’s assessment isn’t accurate, at least in my opinion.</p>
