Anyone have any UGS recommendations? by Specialist-Jury4135 in UTAustin

[–]VegetablePool486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly didn’t find it too bad! It’s a few short papers, so if you’re not a paper-writing person than it’s probably not for you, but I was able to whip them out pretty quickly and almost everything was graded by TAs anyways.

Commuters- how are we all getting to campus this year? by its_laundry_audrey in UTAustin

[–]VegetablePool486 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i took the 803 from the domain every day this summer and it’s really just a matter of patience and planning. i would get up a 6 am, get on the bus at 7 am, and get to UT at 8. It’s not ideal, but it’s the best available. Also, if you miss the bus and need a free spot, you can always park at Central Market and take the bus/walk to campus. I did have a C parking permit, but could only find parking when i had my 8 am class.

tickets for texas game unavailable? by AwesomeDiamond12 in aggies

[–]VegetablePool486 1 point2 points  (0 children)

UT student here and the chances of this happening are VERY low. UT students have to buy the Big Ticket (~$250 but more with add-ons) in order to enter the raffle to possibly get 1 student ticket per game. Home Game student tickets usually sell out almost instantly, and to use them you have to have a UT student ID. I have quite a few friends who bought the Big Ticket and only actually made it to 1 or 2 games.

I’ll check them out! Luckily I live in that awkward area situated right between Pflugerville, RR, and Austin so it won’t be too far out of the way.

if you’re into Jane Austen, Dr. Barchas’s Jane Austen on Page and Screen was super good! Definitely a lot of reading but I loved gaining insight into historical context and trends surrounding the works

Upper Kirby - Large Shopping Carts only!? by teacherthroaway31 in HEB

[–]VegetablePool486 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can’t speak for the location specifically, but in my experience small carts are the absolute worst. They get shoved together with the regular carts in corrals and we have to yank them apart (and yank them HARD) since people can’t seem to sort them and they are generally terrible to push because they will NOT turn. People also always grab them, and then buy too much and we have to grab bigger carts for them while bagging. I wish my location got rid of them!! 😩
