The University of Texas at Austin Reviews

"Being a part of such a large campus can seem daunting, but the great thing about UT is that it has so many organizations to make students feel like a part of a tighter community. UT is challenging in such a way that it prepares individuals for a smooth transition into the working world. The educational environment teaches students how to plan, organize, and set and surpass goals for themselves. Not only that, but students also have the dedication and work ethic to overcome any challenges that the workplace throws at them. I know that I felt extremely prepared after graduating last year (2016). All of that being said, my favorite thing about The University of Texas is the fact that the professors truly care about your success as not only a student but as a contributing member of society. They truly make an effort to connect with you as an individual and offer to go out of their way to ensure a stable and productive school environment for each student. I truly feel that the professors are on your side pushing you to become the best version of yourself that you can be."

"The studio arts program at UT is a bit stuck in a weird place. Its looking to stay in the conceptual and the past, yet doesn't provide an adequate framework for students to become practicing artists. There is no community, no shows, no workshops for professional artists- and the degree is so rigid that you'll find yourself flailing in lots of different subjects instead of improving in one. The only people I see really enjoying their time here are those that like painting and printmaking, and are not paying for it. For everyone else, please find a more prestigious school to practice conceptual art- and if you are into industry art this is most definitely not the place for you."

"I am highly grateful for the education that I am continuing to receive from the University of Texas at Austin. The professors are relatable, experienced, and understanding of student stress load. I am studying to receive my Doctor of Audiology and I truly believe I am receiving great clinical experience as well as a foundation for my field that I will carry onto my career."

"The University of Texas at Austin has excellent Biology curriculums. I would highly recommend their Neurobiology degree plan to students preparing to pursue an MD or a PhD program in the neuroscience. I would NOT recommend this degree plan to students looking to find a career straight out of their undergraduate career since there is close to no jobs for a Bachelor's in Neurobiology (in this case I would suggest pursuing the field of Microbiology instead). As an aspiring healthcare professional, the courses I took at UT Austin were challenging yet valuable because of the passionate professors eager to ensure their students' success in their class. The only trouble I faced was the large student body population that made safety of the campus weak (i.e. recent assault/murder of Haruka Weiser) as well as the usefulness of their career advisors since they do not have the time to really get to know each student and tailor their advices to fit the students's own interests."

"The School of Architecture at UT Austin is an excellent program that has really contributed to my personal education and outlook on the built environment. The program is rigorous just like other architecture design schools nationwide and contains various courses that cater to a variety of learning disciplines and interests. They have made progress this past year in trying to meet the desires/needs of the students by installing new technological machines that provides us the tools for our design process and thinking. This program have given me the tools necessary to succeed and become prepared for the work environment I will be facing after graduation."

"I loved attending The University of Texas in Austin. If you don't mind very large schools, the environment is great and the professors are amazing."

"University of Texas at Austin 'S School of Social Work feels like an undergraduate program with how personable and friendly the environment is for the students and faculty."

"It is a great college to promote research and higher knowledge"

"The community is so supportive of academic endeavors and faculty are genuinely enthusiastic about helping students conduct research projects. I've developed connections with some professors that will last beyond my undergrad years. I had a great experience."

"The nursing program is rigorous. The skills learned are excellent. I would recommend the program."

"The University of Texas at Austin is a unique institution located in an urban environment. It is challenging, but fulfilling. A beautiful campus with great students, program, professors and athletics."

"My university is academically diverse. It has quality degree programs that will thoroughly prepare graduates to succeed in their respective fields."

"The University of Texas at Austin LBJ school is nothing short of amazing. The program is rigorous, but the staff is constantly supportive of each student reaching their goals. The student population is driven ambitious, all striving to be top in their studies and field."

"The University of Texas is a wonderful school for students willing to take the initiative to achieve success. There are unlimited opportunities available, but only if students actively pursue these. Success here is earned by individuals, not handed out upon enrollment. Expect rigorous classes with knowledgeable professors who are willing to act as mentors if students initiate a relationship."

"I had a really bad experience in the Cell and Molecular Biology Graduate Program at The University of Texas at Austin. I would advise any people who are considering going into a Grad Program in this area to use extreme caution before going to UT. Unless you are the best of the best, they will probably admit you but you are likely to have a really bad time there."

"My review pertains to the Cell and Molecular Biology Graduate Program at The University of Texas at Austin. I had a bad experience there. In my opinion, the program did not care about students' progress or well being, and the program was more focused on obtaining results that could be published. I realize that in most places "getting the job done" has more importance than the well being of the people who are doing the job, but my experience at UT really took this distinction to a new extreme. I would only recommend going into the PhD program here if you are at the very top of the game in terms of doing research and working in philosophy, and you've had a lot of experience in research before enrolling. The Graduate Program accepted these people, as well as many other people, and I saw that people who were not at the extreme top of the game often were kept there in situations that did not benefit them, or were outright harmful to them."

"During my time at UT Austin, I felt that I gained greater insight into the world. My professors came from all different backgrounds and countries but all had the same passion for learning. While I was there I learned to appreciate the diverse student body and the opportunities that UT could provide. I was able to take classes from all different colleges and experience a great amount of information. The career advisors in the business school took my opinions and dreams seriously and wanted to help make them a reality."

"UT was a mix of a great city with plenty of different kinds of people, a great school with plenty of interesting classes to choose from, and a great network of post-grads."

"Great environment for college students. Classes are right in the middle in regards to difficulty. The amount you put in will be what you get."

"UT was great. It's so big but you can always find smaller interest/study groups to be a part of so you don't feel so small on such a large campus."
