It was a long trek but well worth it to see the campus highlights and pass sculpture, landscaping, and beautiful vistas. The museums are wonderful and good places to cool off. More

We're from Ann Arbor so our Big House is really big! But our boys were determined to see another one. Lots of fun for the football obsessed! More

If you have faculty ID, you can have historical photos brought to you in a private room for inspection. This was a unique experience and the library staff was very helpful. More

On the UT campus is the Texas Science Center. As if the campus itself weren't amazing, like a small city, the science center was spectacular. It's not huge, but very nicely arranged with lots to see from dinosaur bones to bugs. A great place for a field trip with the kids. More

I wrote a book for the University of Texas, Austin Software Quality Institute. This campus is huge. The "drag" Guadalupe Street has tons of cool places to eat and drink at very reasonable rates. More

Being an alum, I am biased, but the experience is great for anyone. Top notch museums and world class collections of art and artifacts. Blanton Art Museum, Harry Ransom Center, LBJ Library with the Briscoe Center of Texas History to name a few. Sports venues are 1st class even if the on field product is lacking. More

Took a walking tour of the campus. Stopped by the University Center and walked the football stadium. The students and faculty were extremely friendly and helpful. Impressive is the only word that describes UTAustin. More
