I've had an amazing experience at UT. Pursuing a career in journalism, it's an honor to be studying at one of the best journalism programs in the world! I've learned so much from such amazing and accomplished journalists, and I've been able to grow my knowledge and journalistic writing and center in on exactly what path I want to go down in journalism. Along with that, I've been able to pursue other academic interests of mine through pursuing an additional degree in sociology and a certificate in human rights and social justice. I've been able to broaden my knowledge on the issues that plague marginalized communities around the world and through this I've been able to strengthen my reporting and story telling as a journalist. I've also completed four internships throughout my time at the university, and will be studying abroad in the fall! I've grown and gained so much during my time here, and I can't wait to see how much I'll learn and grow during my last year.
I was admitted during fall of 2020 and although I feel like I lost out on many experiences because of COVID, I still ended having a really good time and meeting some amazing people! Because of the large campus, you're gonna have to really make an effort to meet people and build connections. If you're in STEM/research, there are a lot of really interesting researchers but expect to email and interview with like 4-6 people before you land yourself in a decent lab.
The mental health and housing services here are abysmal though. Save yourself a few thousand bucks and get yourself an apartment off campus, you'll still be subjected to loud sex and parties at 3 am but at least you won't need to share your room :') Also, I know a lot of people paint Austin as some sort of liberal paradise but if you're a student of color, watch out. I still managed to get followed and yelled slurs at along Guad so maybe bring a taser or pepper spray lol

I liked the community, how the culture and even the city was lively. I liked how there were a lot of inclusive spaces and clubs and how people here have so much drive to make the world a better place. This school is highly competitive in every aspect of academics, although I like how it gives way for the school to give out so many opportunities to learn. The only thing I would like to see is for more safety for students around the area especially for where the campus is located, there is a lot of homeless right outside of campus and there are many reports that the school does not deal with regarding to the safety of students or commuters who have to travel at night. I think there should definitely be more accountability for the security of students. Otherwise it’s a great school!
