Don't stay all-day long at the university, go out and visit the city, there are a lot of interesting events going on in Austin: celebrations, job opportunities, places to eat well.. etc.

The best place to get to know people is on the street. Go out a lot and visit the second-hand bookstores, they are great.

Try to get in touch with the locals! There are many Student associations. I would strongly recommend VCM. A group of Christian Students who love to help and hang out with you.

6th street has something for everyone and it is almost impossible to mention any one place in particular. We usually met up at the Aquarium and continoued from there. Personally I did one thing wrong: I did not spend enough time exploring the musical venues and the hidden secrets of Austin. Got to know places such as the Elephant room - a lovely jazz place - first in my last two weeks. Try to stear away from the beaten tracks once in a while and you will be amazed about what the town can offer!Austin is wonderful!

First you should not miss a dance club called "Midnight Rodeo"! Second you should definitely eat a steak in a real Texan Steakhouse! Third go out at 6th street, there are more bars and clubs than you can imagine, for example "Friends" or "Spills" are very nice. There are also nice bars and locations on 5th street! Fourth you should not miss the great football games of the UT team called "Longhorns"!!! Fifth you should go shopping to the shopping malls like "Barton Creek" or "Highland" or others!
