It's true you will see very little diversity at University of Texas at Austin. There is discrimination against minorities like other posters have said. Some students and professors get away with discrimination, retaliation, and bad behaviors and nasty comments because administration allows it to happen and looks the other way.

The assignments and homework range from being incredibly boring to somewhat useful. Lectures are overall useless. Professors have a "you don't matter" arrogant attitude.

The behavioral concerns hotline is set up by the university to spy on students. Anybody can leak information against you so that the university can protect itself against law suites and so the university can use the information against students to punish them. It points to the fact that the university administration is paranoid and out to get you as a student. You feel as though you are being watched and stalked. You can bet negative information and rumors about you are leaked to all your professors and advisers.

A UT student was removed off the football team because of certain comments made on facebook by his friend. The story actually made media coverage. That is really pitiful. It just goes to show that UT is spying on the students.

Administration is condescending and will lie to you about anything.

The free counseling is completely unprofessional and inept, they push an agenda onto students and force them to comply by using aggressive tactics. Avoid that at all costs.

Student organizations are useless because everybody that goes is socially inept and unfriendly.
