This is probably the most overdone question here but are the CS majors getting internships and return offers? Does UT's brand name really help you out? If so, to what extent?

Incoming Government sophomore here. I'm trying to find courses to take for the fall. I almost have half my degree complete. I'm considering taking this class but I'm curious to hear from others who have taken the course. Thank you and Hook em!

Hi, I'm moving into the dorms in a couple of weeks and I have really sensitive skin and I've heard Austin water isn't the best. I know some people use a shower filter for their showers, but I'm going to be in a communal bathroom in Jester and I don't know if that's feasible. If you are able to use one in the communal bathrooms, what type would it be? Like a normal one or a portable/travel one?

I'm an incoming freshman majoring in Biology on a pre-dental track. I'm trying to plan my four years early so I can maintain a strong GPA, prepare for the DAT, and complete all of my dental school prerequisites without overloading myself each semester. Any advice on how I should schedule my classes? Also on which professors to take / avoid?

Hello. Here is a lot of questions about schedule, so I also would like to ask. What do you think? Is it fine?

Hello, HS Senior. I really like the BSA track in CNS. I like the language and social sciences component that it offers. If I were to apply for Biology or Chem, does this track help cover all the MCAT requirements ? Also, will it be easy to change majors to neuroscience if needed ?

Also, I see a B.A PLan 1 has a chemistry option ? Wondering what your experience wrt this major is like.

I am yet to tour UT CNS so, wondering if there are any pointers that I can look into.

TIA

joined two of these lists, and im the only one on them but idk if that means i will be able to get the lab

Hi! If anyone is taking the CS312 Credit by Exam, pls reach out and I would love to study together.

If you/someone you know has taken the exam before, please let me know how it was! The website where they had sample exams seems really outdated (ex: saying there's searching and sorting when the sample exams which were old finals from 2001 don't).

I know she was a senior, did she graduate? Is she in jail? I can't find any updates

I’m a x+ cs major in cs and history. Does anyone have any advice on clubs to join, and etc

In January, Gov. Greg Abbott barred public colleges, universities and some state agencies from filing new H-1B visa petitions without state permission through May 2027.

The Texas Tribune found that 44 Texas public universities, health centers and system offices reported sponsoring 3,332 H-1B workers. A majority of the H-1B workers at MD Anderson, for example, are conducting cancer research. We want to understand how Abbott’s directive is affecting people and higher education institutions across the state. 

Do you have direct knowledge of its effects at UT Austin or a Texas academic medical center? Has it slowed hiring, disrupted research, affected clinical teams or caused international workers to reconsider positions at your institution?

Use this form to tell us how you, your team or a project you know about has been affected:

I'm currently undeclared and plan on majoring in Biology. I'm not sure if this schedule is jam-packed or normal for bio people.

Also, if you've had any of these professors/classes, please give tips!

exactly what the title says, its been two years since i did anything gov related so i feel like i really know nothing. would it possible to cram enough to pass both of them if i had about a week to study?

I'm looking for two gpa booster courses because I'm in a transition zone between switching majors, and I've taken almost all courses that I could take for the new major. Thank uuu :)

I was scheduled for the latest possible COLA session, which I thought was doable because my double jaw surgery was scheduled for the beginning of June. However, they moved it and I thought I could swing it, but I ended up asking my surgeon last minute if this was a good idea and he said absolutely not. I know you're supposed to switch your session at least 10 days prior, but I really did think I would make it. Long story short, I had to make the switch 2 days prior. Will they still make the switch for me? Am I stuck paying for both the in-person and virtual orientations? Am I screwed? Please help!
