The fifth-largest university in the nation, the University of Texas at Austin is consistently ranked as one of America’s top public institutions. Sports are huge here—the football team has won four national championships—but academics are just as big. UT Austin is known for its first-rate faculty and excellent graduate programs, and for having the largest endowment of any public university.
The campus is located in downtown Austin, a few blocks from the Texas State Capitol building. A popular local bumper sticker reads “Keep Austin Weird,” and the city works hard to maintain its uniqueness. Austin boasts cuisine from all over the world, from Thai to Southern barbecue, and its famous 6th Street is closed to cars on weekends to accommodate the foot traffic between bars and music venues.
