Austin

Hypothetically speaking, let's just say.
I'll be going to a college and pay with student loan.
I'll be working part- time only (I don't know any good stores to apply to yet), I have very little experience though.
I heard 1st year at UT is free but after that u have to pay or look for an apartment.

Honestly, I've only been there once, and it's the ONLY city I've ever fallen in love with at first sight.

I've been to the state capitol, Sixth Street, and the walking trail/park along the lakefront. But I've also read about things like SoCo, The Drag, Second St., Blanton Museum, Austin Museum of Art, Barton Springs and Zilker Park, Mt. Bonnell, Mt. McKinney, the ACL Music Festival, SXSW, UT sports, etc.

So, I'm 21, currently live in Kentucky, and will have my B.A. in May. Austin appeals to me because it has something Kentucky doesn't seem to offer, an environment where people are laid-back, friendly, yet open-minded. I love live music and prefer hot weather (seriously), which ATX is known for.

So, how is Austin in terms of cost of living? Job market? Nightlife? Are the people really as friendly as they appear? Any other factors you want to chime in?

Thank you, and "Keep Austin Weird!"

How is driving in and around Austin? We are considering a move (probably to south Austin or Dripping Springs). I know traffic can be bad, but I'm wondering more about safety. I've heard that drivers are very aggressive and there are lots of drunk college kids on the the roads. Is this true? We have kids who will be driving (years away, but never to soon to worry!) Are there more accidents than in your average city there? Also, he highway system seems a little frustrating and not well planned out - is this a a problem? Any comments or experiences would be appreciated. Thanks!

We currently live in Washington state but are seriously considering moving to Austin. Our main reason for moving is to get away from the cold and rain. I love heat and humiditiy (have lived in Florida) so that is not an issue. We have researched schools, houses, etc and visited Austin so if we move, that is where we will go. My husband can keep his job and work from home. Everyone up here seems to think we are crazy for moving to Texas though! I love the outdoors (hiking, etc) but hate the cold so much that I can only be outside about 4 months a year up here. Has anyone made a similar move? Any advice our opinions? I dont' want to regret this! Thanks.

I recently visited Austin (over Labor Day weekend) and was impressed with the city. However, I noticed one (negative) thing... and that is that there were roaches everywhere!!! I'm used to living in hot weather, and am considering moving to Austin in the future... but the roaches? Is this common? How difficult are they to control? Is it all year? Thank you for your comments in advance.

I'm a graphic designer from NYC, and I'm looking for a city in Texas for jobs, housing, good schooling and artsy community.

In my eyes, NYC is everything especially as a designer. Galleries, theater, people, shopping etc. I love walking in central park, going to the met, shopping and having the diversities of people from every walk of life.

Recently, we've made some trips for his conferences and we just got back from Chicago and I realized how wonderful it really can be outside of NYC. We are considering Texas for his job, we were in Houston with some friends and didn't get to explore the city. Maybe my perspective was skewed.

So I'm thinking of planning another trip but I'm looking for some suggestions. Does Texas have any artsy communities with culture, museums and a young vibe?
Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio any transplants out there from NYC.

Thanks for your help.

I'm visiting Austin to check out the University of Texas for grad school. Is it easy to get around in terms of transportation? I've seen pictures of Austin, but basically I'm clueless about what the area is like. I'm used to New York City life so what is it like down there compared to the city? I'm staying right near the university, can I just walk around to get to places really easily like a smaller city or is everything spaced out really far?

I am thinking that Austin would be a good place to move. Does anyone love Austin? If so, please tell me what you like about it. How are the Universities? Are the people nice? Is the city dog friendly? Is it safe? Is rent high for a one bedroom apartment? How's the music. Thanks.

My husband and I are renewing our vows on Sept 7 of this year. (We had a courthouse marriage and for our 1 year anniversary we decided to have a big ceremony that include me getting to walk down an aisle!!! :D ) We'd like to stay in Austin. My husband's requirements are that it have a jacuzzi tub big enough for two. I just want something out of the ordinary I don't want to feel like I'm staying at a holiday inn or a motel 6 or anything. Something in the $100-175 a night range would be perfect! Thanks for all your help!

Hi, I am moving to the Trace Condominiums at Crossing Place 78741 in a few weeks as a new UT student. Can someone tell me about the neighborhood?

Specifically, do I need a car to get to the grocery stores? How "walkable" is the area? Are there streets for pedestrians or is it just roads full of cars?

I am coming from wayyy up northeast so bringing a car or driving down is going to be BIG hassle and headache I'd like to avoid if possible.

Any advice? Thanks!
