Everyone, just to let you know, there are a LOT of dumb people at Texas. A lot. There are also a lot of smart people who don’t do their work.

But to answer the original question of the thread:

1. The homeless people. They are everywhere on the drag. The owner of Big Bite had to literally throw one out of the restaurant because he was being a nuisance inside the store.

2. The bicyclists. Particularly the ones who neglect traffic laws. This is probably just me, but I personally do everything I can to obstruct a bike rider who I see run a red light or stop sign, particularly when they get in pedestrians’ ways.

3. The fact that our campus is built on a hill. It’s really annoying when you have to hike up a hill to go to the gym.

4. The fact that it’s a little to humid in September and April-May.

5. The fact that you can’t find parking, and that UTPD love to give tickets.

6. The fact that if you live on campus, the dining halls close at 7 PM. And aren’t open for dinner at all on Sunday. And that it all tastes the same.

7. The fact that of most sets of double doors only one will be open and the other will be bolted down.

As you can see, these really aren’t major complaints at all. Really just pet peeves. UT is an awesome place, and I don’t know anyone here that doesn’t love it.

1. Yeah the younger homeless peolple are annoying.

2. I runs top signs if there is nobody coming, but running red lights on Guadalupe is a fast way to get you in an accident. If you started riding a bike, you would inevitably have to start running ****. 24th and speedway right after classes get out require you to disobey traffic laws pretty much.

3. Hiking up a hill= ok but time consuming, biking up a hill= hellish nightmare. This probably my biggest complaint. I live at 24th and Lamar and my ride to campus is awful, and my ride back from campus is almost as bad. The highest point is around Guadalupe so end up going up hill atleast on part of the way back if you live in west campus.

4. Its nothing compared to Houston, and not too bad on a bike. The weather this year, thus far, as been pretty amazingly good.

5. Don’t drive on campus.

6. I remember that the Dining halls would close early, but Jester Pizza was open pretty late. Also there’s always Wendy’s.

7. Never really encountered this, but if its to a building you frequent it could get annoying.
