There’s plenty to do and see while you’re in Austin.
Hang out in the Courtyard
No better way to imagine being a student than grabbing a coffee and a book and hanging out with Texas Lawhorns in the Dee Kelly Courtyard or Patman Family Plaza.

Go to a Game
UT Austin has one of the winningest athletic programs of any university in the world, and year-round opportunities to see Longhorns in action on the gridiron, the diamond, and the track, or in the pool.

Dive into Barton Springs Pool
Cool down from the Texas heat in Austin’s jewel of a swimming hole, Barton Springs Pool, in the heart of Zilker Park. Fed by underground springs, it’s always a refreshing 68 degrees and open year-round.

Sample the Food Trucks
Austin has thousands of restaurants, but one of the best ways to enjoy the food scene is a food truck park. Try 5000 Burnet, home of T-Loc’s Sonoran Hot Dogs, Dawa Sushi, Budare’s Venezuelan, Wat Zab Thai, and more.
