What are Texas students like?

<p>LOL....wow that sux</p>

<p>Austin is truly a place where anybody can fit in, it's just a question of finding your niche and being willing to try new things. </p>

<p>To sum it up, there's something for everybody at UT. Well, except for parking spaces.</p>

<p>Well if you don't like any a liberal school then go to Texas A&M. They practically see George Dubaya as a god there.</p>

<p>So parking is a big issue? I spoke to a student working in admissions and I think he said for roughly $800/yr there was plenty of covered parking available. Is that not really the case? Any tips on where to park while on a visit?</p>

<p>if price is no object, there is plenty of parking on the periphery of campus. Look at a map for locations. There is very little parking close to classroom buildings, so a regular (cheap) student parking sticker is not of much practical use. There is a very good shuttle system to various parts of town where lots of students live.</p>

<p>I'm still not sure if I'll need a car if I come to UT. It'd be nice to have one, but why waste cash if I really will have no use for it</p>

<p>Cruiser749, you understand this is an alien thought to Texans. Years ago GM bought all our mass transit and tore it do so we'd buy cars. With very few exceptions, the entire state is built around the automobile. You'd probably be fine at first, but I don't know how anyone could not want a car after a little while even in Austin.</p>

<p>awesome, in that case, I love Texas even more now</p>

<p>I love cars, but my only concern was parking. I guess I won't mind the $800 parking pass if there is enough parking that I don't have to spend a ton of time looking for a spot.</p>
