Which ut dorm is the best

Son said hardly anyone was ever in the bathroom at the times he showered. Jester has sinks in the rooms. Duren is a very nice dorm in terms of amenities; however, its quite a hike from there to the 6-Pack, Gregory Gym, or PCL. I think its a perfectly fine choice for say an upperclassman who wants to be in a less crowded part of campus; however, for freshman Jester, with all of its foibles, is an excellent choice located across the street from the Gregory Gym; PCL library; and having the largest dining hall on campus.

My son will be an entering freshman at UT this fall and we are strongly recommending that he stay at Jester; and I agree with parentof3kids that the community bath arrangement has way more pluses than minuses - chiefly do to the fact that its cleaned twice a day by UT staff. I have a current high school junior who wants to attend UT Austin so I came back to this board since high school junior son remarked so many seniors he knows got CAP-ed. One thing that surprised me is how early you can secure off campus housing for a current UT student.

My older son approached us at the end of September, freshman year, to say that friends one year older than him wanted him to be their roommate in off campus housing. My son would have been perfectly happy spending another year at Jester but with him spending the last 2 years and a 3rd year planned in the same off campus condo, it has been convenient not to help him move in and out between school years.

One change from when my son stayed in on campus housing is now residents can choose their room. I was randomly assigned a cubbyhole room and so was my son. All Rights Reserved. Thank you grlgotexas.

Supplemental Housing University Housing and Dining feels strongly about offering the experience of living on campus to as many students as possible.

Living on campus is an important part of the college experience. When all of our permanent space has been offered to students, supplemental space is offered to those still wanting to live on campus.

To put it simply, it is a remarkable place. There are so many personalities, interests, and cultures living together in this building of approximately students. You do not have to look far in order to find a fantastic group of people. Students are comfortable to live, learn, and laugh in these halls as they grow in their first years of college. Living here has opened tremendous opportunities to make lasting friends.
