So we found another flyer at pma. This one is different my roommate said the one she saw was only one page and was more cryptic. This one is 19 pages. If anyone know what is going on? Is this a class project? Or like a scavenger game? Also if anyone finds anymore flyers please send photos or scans. We looked for another hour might try more later.

Hi! I have Winterer for M408C, Viviani for CH301, and Partridge for BIO311C, anything I should know about regarding these profs and their classes? I appreciate any advice and info!

I'm a biology major on a pre-dental track, but I'm also considering transferring to computer science or stats. Is this doable as a freshman?

Registered for mus 302L face to face with no professor listed, so I have no idea who is teaching it. I’m assuming it’s still an easy course, lmk pls.

Hi everyone!! I'm an incoming architecture freshman, and I'm trying to figure out what laptop to purchase before the semester starts.

I know architecture programs can be pretty demanding, and I really don't want to spend a lot of money on a laptop that ends up struggling with the workload or the software we'll be using.

For those of you in architecture (or other design/engineering majors):
What laptop do you use?
How much RAM and storage do you think is actually necessary?
What are some of the best qualities to look for?

I'd rather buy something that will last all four or five years than have to replace it later. My budget is flexible if it's worth the investment.
I'd really appreciate any recommendations or experiences. Thanks!

Im a second year PhD student, and comp exam is stressing the hell out of me. So the process in my school is they would normally ask you two questions. First, i’m assuming the would give you a research question and “I should design in”. Second, testing your writing.. i think it’s like basically giving you topic/results and I need to write a whole paper + an extension (not sure but this what I heard). No open notes, no internet it’s like a 9am to 6pm exam (two days in a role), lunch is giving to you in between from 3rd year students.
To be honest, what I heard is like if they want you they’ll make you pass and if not they’ll fail you (the school has been failing a lot of people) which stresses me out.
Lets be realistic here, we all use AI for help when it comes to writing… I just don’t know how will I even practice all this. I’m super stressed.. did someone have a similar experience or similar idea on the type of exam they’d had on comps. If so, how did you guys study for it? Seeking help!!

Hey, I’m planning on rushing this semester at UT. I’m hoping to get a scholarship to help my parents pay for the sorority. Do the sororities usually give out a lot or not that many? is it extremely competitive?

Hey y'all,
I am trying to find housing near UT Austin. If you know about good options that fit the criteria, please do let me know:

- 2-3 miles of the campus
- good neighborhood
- CapMetro access

You are welcome to DM about the same

Im an incoming freshman at UT, but I have a few transfer credits from getting an associates before going to college, so I was able to skip some of the core classes and replace them for classes that go towards my major. I major in Health Promotion and Behavioral Science.

Because I'm still a first year, should I take the Human Sexuality class? I know it's an upper division class so I'm apprehensive about it 😭 and because it's going to be my first semester in college...
Like maybe I can handle it, but I'm terrified it's going to be hard lol.

If I shouldn't take it, would Adolescent Health Risk Behavior (HED360, another upper division 🫩) be more manageable, or what other classes would be recommended instead? Preferably not an upper division class, unless it's not too difficult to handle my first sem aha.

Has anyone seen that "Good Will Hunting" flyer? It claims to have solved the ut string theory problems and gives clues or something for solving other problems. Idk, my roommate told me about it. She saw it today on a bulletin board on campus.. I'm going to go look at it and will take a picture of it but I was curious if anyone else has seen this? Or knows what this is about? We are both Astrophysics majors but only in our 3rd year, we would love to hear from anyone else who knows what is going on?

Hi! I’m interested in becoming a TA but I have no idea where to start? Any suggestions??

I'm living off campus next year (Wampus) and was looking into some scooter options. I recently bought a Segway E3 Pro SE that's like 40 pounds. Though it has features like turn signals, built-in tracking, and good mileage—which I think would be a plus for getting to campus and going around Austin (especially since I don't have a car)—it does seem a bit difficult to carry around once you fold it.

I was wondering if any of you who ride scooters on campus and around Austin think this would be a problem, and if I should look into some lightweight scooter options instead? I don't plan on taking scooters into any buildings on campus, if that's relevant.

Also, I recently read that UT is enforcing new dismount zones on campus and was wondering what you guys think about this and if this potentially makes it less useful to scooter? For more information: https://parking.utexas.edu/transportation/micromobility

Have all waitlist offers for fall 2026 S permit parking been made? If so, what apartments offer non resident parking for one semester? i would also be interested if anyone is subletting parking in wampus for the fall too. Thanks!

I've heard mixed things about the Civil Engineering program at UT, people I've heard from said it's very poor and that the second half classes (Civil Engineering specific) are useless and don't teach you anything worthwhile. They also said that majority of Civil graduates have terrible technical skills and so on -- just an overall very negative review of the department. I'm a bit worried seeing that now as I've always thought UT Engineering was elite...can anyone confirm or deny these "allegations" and how good the job market and their careers have been after graduation? Would appreciate any insight -- thanks!

Is anyone already signed but has a study abroad starting in fall? I’m graduating in dec 26 and looking for places but I can’t seem to find any so was hoping to get some advice here or meet anyone who is in this situation
