She cares more about Social Life than the average student.
Date: Apr 21 2009
Major: Anthropology (This Major's Salary over time)
I went to UT because of the wonderful Anthropology program. What a joke! My classes were ridiculously easy, my community college I previously attended was ten times more challenging! A lot of busy work and busy reading is assigned, lectures don't hold a lot of importance. Students were able to miss every class but test day and were still able to pass with flying colors.

I also really hoped to have the 'college experience' here. Unless you want to join Greek life, the social scene is awful. Being social at UT consists of heavy drinking, heavy drug use, and sex. The few students that didn't party tended to keep to themselves and didn't get out much. Everyone else just walked around like broken zombies. (Don't even get me started on the Mac users and their club.)

Austin itself is a pretty neat city. I liked being able to walk everywhere. However, being yelled at by belligerent homeless people got tiring fast. The city isn't nearly as diverse as advertised. I come from Houston which is an extremely diverse city, Austin is just filled with a bunch of white people. The student body can often come across as arrogant liberals, even the professors. A professor once told me I was judgmental for saying that it was wrong to have sex with children in spite of what religious doctrine dictates.

Overall, I made a horrible mistake by coming here. If you're coming here to party, join Greek life, and get by with easy classes this is the school for you. However, if you're going to UT for the academics and intelligent student body.. go elsewhere. I left after a mere semester, what an awful school.
