UT Austin is *insert 15 ominous-sounding adjectives*

@p717 I don't want to stick up for UT, because I did not go there, and i wouldn't have, but only because they've been teaching same art=styles for decades... BUT, Austin? IS a very diverse town. It's a very open town, and i mean open to ANYONE who wants to participate. I don't know what happened to this person, but many of us have had some negative college experiences (is why I left my first choice in univ). I don't think it's right to judge Austin based on UT, cuz that's not Austin at ALL.

So, maybe you want to consider a smaller university-town? My kids did not and do not attend UT. It's not because of anything wrong with Austin, but due to the high fees. Besides, one DOES get more attention in smaller classes. Look into Texas Tech. It's a huge land-grant college, but smaller classes, which really allows and asks for a lot more input from ALL people. Maybe I've just always felt more comfortable around what others call "minorities"? maybe Some of us really aren't pigheaded?

One more thing? White-supremacy is prevelant in Austin? You could not have ventured off campus much if that what you think. My kids are mixed. They were both born in Austin. They are well liked, by anyone who meets them, so I don't think your assessment or proclamations are exactly right-on. Both of my kids are with partners who are also from "another race" (though I don't consider any human of another race).
Again; sorry you had a bad experience, but maybe? look within AND without moreso

Oh I don't know.
However, I did not attend UT, though I've been in Austin for about thirty years. I did go to Tech, in Lubbock, and i loved it.
I think it depends, every college, on your choice of major (or college within), too. I was an art student., well known by faculty and staff, so I had a wonderful experience.
Sorry you did not. I do my part, as an Austinite, to help make all student's lives a bit nicer, too.. those I come into contact with. Sorry you didn't get that in Austin.

@beegell It is not just the one campus, believe me they are all alike. No matter what their outward appearances may be.

3:45, couldn't have said it better myself. I've worked deep in the political bowels of several Universities in the Southwest, including the two big ones in San Diego, UCSD and SDSU. They are little empires, built to perform the bidding of their foundations, a highly suspicious closed group that controls the cash.
At least at SDSU, there (was?) is a protection group for pedophiles. The homosexuals working there, are the most rabid conservatives I've ever unfortunately known.

Gosh. This is really a major damage to UT's image- and to the whole city of Austin as a whole. But honestly, it's not that hard to believe.
You know, I thought I was the only one to notice that Texas has an extra layer of asshole and the cast system seems more rigid than other places in the US I've lived.
I hate this state so much, and I don't care if I starve in another, I'm going to eventually get out of here. Let the Beckites and Nazi's have this hellhole. They want it so much. Hope they have fun fighting the Zetas and the Mexican Mafia.
