πŸ‘ Great Fit If You Are:

1

Change-makers

if you want your work to influence people, policy, or tech, UT Austin makes that real.

2

Practical idealists

if you're idealistic but want tools to act, this is your playground.

3

Data + democracy fans

if you're into CS, policy, or ethics, UT bridges tech and impact.

4

Loud thinkers

if you're not afraid to express yourself and debate hard, this campus is wide open.

5

City-integrated learners

if you want to use a whole city as your lab, few schools offer more access than UT.

🚨 Not Ideal For:

1

Intimate campus seekers

this is a huge place, and it takes initiative to build close mentorship.

2

Tradition-heavy learners

UT values freedom over formality; old-school hierarchy isn’t the vibe.

3

Cold-weather lovers

it’s hot. Texas hot. Summer never really ends.

4

Quiet campuses

this school is buzzing, political, and expressive.

5

Ivy-chasers

UT Austin is elite in outcome, but not in exclusive image.
