Now’s the time to Consider Your Options
Each year, thousands of students from diverse backgrounds and from every corner of the globe decide to enroll in The University of Texas at Austin. Like you, they have contributions to make. They believe that their first step is pursuing an education at one of the best universities in the world.
If you’re not yet ready to accept your admission, we encourage you to take some time to consider what the university has to offer its students.
Consider this…
Academics, Teaching & Research, and Campus Treasures
To help our students make a difference, we offer more than 270 programs and more than 6,000 courses. If you're admitted and choose to enroll, you'll benefit from the knowledge and talent of more than 3,000 teachers and professors who practice excellence in teaching and research to help make the educational experience dynamic, challenging, and rewarding for students.
And one visit to campus will prove that UT Austin offers some of the most extensive artistic and cultural treasures and archives available to university students anywhere in the country.
Cost
One of the most inviting aspects of the university is its reasonable cost for the quality of the education. As a matter of fact, the university was recently included on the list of “Best Value Colleges” by the Princeton Review.
Student life
Sometimes decisions about where to go to college are about getting a feel for the place by learning about student life and the resources and services available for first-year students when they arrive on campus.
Location, Spirit, and Traditions
It may not be true for all universities, but our university’s location, spirit, and traditions do matter a great deal to our students.
Visits for Admitted Freshmen
Now that you’re admitted, you may be anxious to learn more about UT Austin. If you haven't already done so, the best way to learn about our campus community is to head to Austin for a visit.
It's best to plan on a full day on campus. Just pick a day and register online or give us a call at the Freshman Admissions Center (512-475-7439) to let us know you’re coming.
Not Attending UT Austin
If you decide not to attend UT Austin, we’d like to hear from you about your decision. Understanding your situation helps us to assist other students with making such decisions in the future.
