"UT Law is unquestionably a great school. It has a high ranking, and you will receive a great legal education. However, it is unhealthily competitive (students wish each other ill because they want to beat the curve) and not diverse at all."

"After beginning at McCombs, it is evident that the program is challenging but has a number of resources to support the graduate program including great professors and a regimented study group protocol."

"When my online class ended with no warning, the Extension office told me they wouldn't believe any screenshots I sent them to prove that their system didn't send me notifications. They refuse to give me the one month extension. Instead, they want me to pay for the whole class again just to finish the last lesson and final exam. The employees were rude and entirely unhelpful."

"Great school and reputation. Did not personally fit in. It is very competitive (or pricey) to get involved with any organization."

  • Degree: Communications (Speech Pathology)
"The Master's program in Speech Language Pathology at UT-Austin is consistently rated as one of the top programs in the nation. However, don't let the numbers fool you. While the faculty are all respected members in their areas, that doesn't mean that they make great teaching professors. The program is often disorganized and lacks efficient, timely, clear communication with students. However, there is a wide range of clinical opportunities and the facilities are in the process of being renovated. Research is strong here. If research is your thing, this is a good place to be (provided that you have a good, caring faculty mentor). If you are to be a full-time clinician, I would suggest making sure that you visit and talk to current students to make sure that it is the graduate program for you."

"Pros:The faculty are very helpful and willing to meet outside their allotted office hours to help any student that is willing to put forth an effort. The faculty are all extremely well know in their respective fields and are willing to help students find a job opportunity. The classes are challenging but do help ensure a complete understanding of the material. Cons: The work load can be extremely over whelming at times especially during the second half of the semester."

"UT offered a very theoretical degree. That's fine if you're planning on going to grad school, but if you want to be a real-world engineer, be sure your school of choice offers a practical degree plan."

"The biggest pro of this program is the academic competitiveness and quality. I'm getting things from my program that are not available at other schools. I wish it was a little more affordable and that there was more financial aid offered to first year grad students - but I did receive a fairly generous package."

"Pros - Austin is a cultural hub, and the University of Texas at Austin both partakes in and contributes to the city's culture; the UT Alumni Network is vast and extremely helpful; the school's resources are excellent and the staff's first priority is ensuring each student's success both at UT and after graduating from UT. Cons - UT's MBA degree is top 15 in the nation, making it somewhat less valuable than top tier schools across the nation. However, given the price of the UT MBA, you definitely get your money's worth with this degree. Also, if you are planning to work anywhere in the South post-MBA, then UT's MBA degree has much more clout. This isn't a con as much as it is understanding the face and intrinsic value of the UT MBA."
