I think that until you become familiar with the site, you really need to use the search button or better yet do google searches using site:utexas.edu At first it was hard to know which tab or category things will fall under; it can be hard to navigate your way to information by clicking down to it. As foxshox said, “you get used to it.”

There really is a wealth of information there on the utexas.edu web site, though. It was a great help to our family in figuring out how UT works. At this time two years ago, I did not know that UT was in Austin and I only knew the Longhorns existed because of Jenna Bush. *Sorry! but I didn’t really understand what Big 12 football is. I only knew Big 10, where I often was hopeful for the Minnesota Gophers and I knew OSU was short for our state flagship Ohio State. just a mom… *

The Housing office in particular has been very nice about responding to emails from my daughter or me, which has been much appreciated.

And of course I am a Longhorns fan now.
