Woah to everyone bashing UT about being a “constant partying school” and stuff- you guys are really misconstrued to the academics that go on here. I’m an Engineering student and I have not partied ONCE my entire time here at UT- Most of the time I spend studying because YES UT is academically rigorous considering a majority of top 10%-ers come here and we have some large research projects (IE. Nissan Versa’s new seats are made of chemically recycled polymers,etc.). Austin is a GREAT college town and was ranked in one of the magazines as the top college town for students. I have had friends come from CStat to Austin and they loved it. When comparing Northgate to 6th street, they said 6th street was , to a large extent, fun. To those saying that “If you go to UT and your a Christian , you will be persecuted for your faith” (or something along the lines of that) that is completely false- A large majority of the population is Christian and/or religious but we have a large variety of religions- Muslims, Christians, Hindus, Jewish, etc. Their are tons of Christian groups- even to the specificity of race (IE. Hispanic Christian groups, Chinese Christian groups,etc.)
