Austin is an awesome city, which is why, if you go to the UT Austin boards on cc you’ll see posts from me and so many other anxious hopefulls who check their status page obsessively and pray to any diety that will listen that they’ll squeeze through the doors of the admissions process for in-state students.

The weather is good, the city has a great waterway and parks, there’s a bridge where thousands of bats fly out at dark (it’s fun and no-one gets bit), the politics are liberal, there’s a big statue of Stevie Ray Vaughn where peoplle leave flowers in his hand. Lance Armstrong and Andy Roddick live here.
You have Austin City Limits Music festival and the South by Southwest film festival. It’s a college town but since it’s the Capital, there’s so much to do. Great places to eat, entertainment and a few other colleges nearby too.
Good public transportation and there’s an airport nearby.

I love Austin and I will visit when I have breaks from the out of state school I’ll go to next year because I got two B’s in High School.
