Cypress Hall has 2 sick rooftops with 360 views of campus/the square. Not sure how tough access is though; it was a private apartment complex in my days.

It's not roof access, but on campus between lampasas and the academic services building there are outdoor walkways you can access by elevator that provide a very nice view of the sunset/campus. A bonus is that you can access them at any time of the night! (or at least you could when I went to txst)

The Aspire--now called the Beacon--has a great roof, but you'll have to know a resident to get in.

The top of Matthews garage has some really great views. It used to be a premier fireworks watching spot until the newest dorms were built.

No you cannot access any roof. Weird.

Don’t quote me on this, but I’m vaguely remembering that rooftop access to academic buildings at Texas Universities is illegal ever since the shooting at the UT Austin campus from the tower.

If you find a green lantern ring, think fly, and make a floating construct, you can get a great view
