I've only been there once in 2001, but let me tell you, I loved it. Maybe my dispositions are a bit premature, but I'll take a stab.
I found the people there to be very friendly and mellow. It is a city, so things are rushed, traffic is bad during rush hour, and people are busier, but common courtesy is still exhibited (people holding doors open for others, using turn signals in traffic, etc.) The city is compact--it is a very cosmopolitan but not too sprawled city (the second part is changing, though.) Sixth St. is hopping, SoCo is hip, the lakefront is incredible, and so is the skyline at night. The Texas State Capitol is a sight to behold, also--talk about massive! Plus, it's still close to San Antonio, Round Rock, D/FW, and Houston.
In short, Austin rocks! It seems to beat the heck out of the Louisville, KY area, where I live now. I'd like to transfer down there, live, and check it out (even though it's kinda expensive.)

Live in Georgetown it is not far from Austin (small commute) and less expensive. Quaint little town to. Good Luck!

I live here in Houston having transferred from Tennessee. I wouldn't trade the sorriest piece of dirt in Tennessee for the whole state of Texas!This place is not what I thought Texas would be. I thought Texans were upstanding,tough but fair,hard working, etc, etc,. Not so. S*h*i*t pores out of Austin at a rate that boggles the mind, and these people never seem to vote anyone out of office, let alone protest these decisions. This state has a bigger tax base than God. what with all the oil and chemical plants. And the lottery. But theres never any money for schools, health care. Where does all this money go. Don't ask the Texas taxpayer, cause they don't care enough to ask.

Yes, Austin Rocks!!!!! Used to go there often some years ago. Let a man talk me out of transferring to UT when I was 20.
