    University of Texas at AustinThe University of Texas at Austin is one of the largest public universities with 50,000 students on approximately 350 acres and it is obviously located in Austin, Texas. There are 18 colleges in this university. It offers many high-level majors that a large public school should have, especially its business program and engineering program. Accounting and petroleum engineering are both ranked #1 in the United States. By the way, the #2 petroleum engineering school is Stanford. There are hundreds of study programs on board for students wanting to experience different cultures and languages. It does not specify minimum admission requirements, but students must be at least half of their class to enter this school. As for tuition, it costs around $50,000 a year, which I think is very expensive for a public school. There are many scholarships that students can apply for, but it is difficult to get these scholarships. 79% of students graduate within six years, 94% return in second year. The student-faculty ratio is 18:1, which is pretty good for me. For sports, its track and field teams have won more than 40 national championships. Athletes from this school have won 88 Olympic medals, so it is a good choice for those who love sports. There are 900 clubs, organizations, societies and groups at this school, so students have many options to choose from. It also has one of the largest Greek systems in this country (no idea what that system is). And the average first year salary for a graduate student is $11o,970 (I don't believe it). It is worth mentioning that the amount of financial aid and donations received at UT is second only to Harvard University. Many students like this school... middle of paper ......don't have enough college credits. I saw a photo of the Harvard library. It was 4 a.m.; all the tables were full of students. And to graduate from Harvard, the student must take 32 courses in 4 years. Personally, I don't think I could ever handle that kind of pressure from school. In China, most parents want their children to attend a top university, and these students don't really have a choice. After all, students go to college for themselves, not their parents. For example, if I want to study petroleum engineering, it doesn't make sense to go to Harvard, because Harvard doesn't even have that major. I think Harvard University is a great school for students who are interested in social sciences, medicine. , business and law, etc. It's not necessarily a good choice for those who want to become an engineer, like me.: 2000
