<p>The title says it all, please elaborate.</p>
<p>For someone looking for a warm climate, football-frenzied school, great academic departments across the board, cool, sexy people, large classrooms, and a funky mid-sized city, it's perfect.</p>
<p>Of course. The only real downside to it is the classes can sometimes be enormous. But it's a good school with a great social atmosphere.</p>
<p>A lot of people claim that freshman at UT get "lost in the crowd." Do y'all feel that this is true?</p>
<p>not once did i feel this way...i'd like to see the number of actual freshman who agree with that phrase. i've said this a number of times on this board: it is what you put into it.</p>
<p>I would recommend the hot babes.</p>
<p>Yeah, I really agree with aceestrin. I just finished my freshmen year at UT and never felt this way.</p>
<p>And as for big classrooms, if you go to office hours you can have one-on-one time with the professor.</p>
<p>Maybe a little off topic but I heard from one of my friend that office hours are typically right after class is over. If I am in a situation where I have back to back to back classes on a particular day how am I able to go to one of these sessions?</p>
<p>office hours really vary from professor to professor. sometimes if there is a scheduling conflict you can find another time to meet the professor (some are generous with their time like that), or I mean -- if it's important you can come late to the other class. no big deal.</p>
<p>yeah, all of my profs said that if you need to, just email them and you can work out a time that works for you.</p>
<p>My son plans to go to UT next year. It's his 1st choice, even though he could probably get into a top private school (if we could afford it). Austin is an incredibly cool city with TONS of diversity and all sorts of activism. We decided, why pay so much more when such an excellent school is right here in our own backyard? (We are in San Antonio.) And for you Ivy Leaguers, UT's PLAN II is supposedly competitive with a Harvard education, for a fraction of the price.</p>
<p>UT really has the best of all worlds - whatever you are into, you'll find it there. And, it has something that other schools don't: Austin.</p>
