Hey there. I’m a native Texan and I got to UT. I’ve met very few people here who have anything against someone being from the north for that fact alone. Sure there are some not so friendly people here, but that is not something that is unique to Texas or anywhere else for that matter. H&B is right. UT is a very diverse place. You’ll find people of all religions and political backgrounds. Making a decision based solely on politics is a very bad idea. People here are generally pretty friendly.

I don’t know why people outside of Texas think we all hate northerners or whatever, but it’s not true at all. You’ll be judged based on how you are as a person, not which state you come from. Being from the north is a non issue and you have nothing to be concerned about.
