Are you an university student? If you are, I am sure that you would love to study at the UT in Austin. As I said in my first post, Austin is a city with a lot of university students, and therefore the campus has to be big enough to contain so many students. But there is not its size the only thing that surprised me.
I don't know each building in the campus, but the few building that I've visited are really great. The classroom where I take the class of "Economics of education" in the college of education has a wall made of glass, so you can see the campus from there. The school of Business is another building that I like. When you walk in the building, you can see the market quote at realtime!!! (If you are into economics or business administration you will understand my emotion).
But I am just talking about the things that excited me, the question is: Do you want to know why I am telling you that you would love to study here? Let see... do you like soccer? Every day you will see lot of people playing soccer and others sports at clark field, and there are pages on Facebook where people make posts inviting you to play with them. The last week I went to play soccer with some fulbrighters and we spend a great time with people from all around the world. Also, if are interested in playing other sport, you should try to join a team, the UT has a lots of teams in different sports. Even, if you are a Harry Potter fan, you may be interested about the quidditch team!! Obviously they can't fly, but they do the best trying to imitate this magical game.
Aren't you interested in sports? Ok, I am sure that there is some activity that you will love. What about dance Salsa?! Some friends of fulbright went to learn dancing salsa and they came back looking forward to returning. Also you could join the Magic club, or o politic group, and like those ones, there are lots of clubs of different topics. And I am sure there is at least one club that you will want to join.
Moreover, if you don't have enough time to be part of a group you are interested in, you shall go to the meetings, seminars and others activities that they organize. For example, this week a group invited us to a Disney's trivia.
But there is a problem, unlike many universities of Argentina, here you have to pay to study at the UT (unless you have a scholarship) and it is no cheap at all. I think that this is the reason why they have so much activities to do and why it's campus is so well kept.
But, beyond this, I hope dear reader, that you have understood what I'm feeling studying at the UT and living in the beautiful Austin, and I hope you have the opportunity to live what I am living here.
I will be waiting for you to read my next post the next week.
Bye bye!!!!

UT has lots of different activities worth taking part of. I would like to play lacrosse sometime, if you find out any activity let me know!!
ResponderEliminarUT is so full of things to do. You cann't get bored here, it is impossible!! I would like to have the chance to take part in each single group, but that's impossible due to the time we are going to stay here. I would like to study in the future at UT. I am sure it will be great!!
ResponderEliminarThe campus is very nice and modern, and the amount of groups with so many different interest is incredible!
ResponderEliminarGood post, Lean, because is right, you can say whatever you want about this city, but you have to admit that UT is like the box of Felix the cat...There is a lot to do everywhere! Fricking disney's song trivia for example!! Quidditch!! Hahahaha, it is incredible, for real.
ResponderEliminarI love your excitement about UT!I shared these same joys when I went to school here to get my bachelors degree. It's a great university with so much to offer to so many different types of students. I'm glad you've taken advantage of all the great opportunities.
ResponderEliminarMy favorite reason for loving UT is the Orange color everywhere. Students dressing orange longhorns clothes are part of the city landscapes, something really weird in Argentina. I think it is important to them because of these symbols gives them identity as a city.
