Co-sign. Except that I did not attend UT, and I now live in another state. However, even at my non-UT school everyone refers to the school in Austin as UT or Texas.
Ep- a word of caution... it appears that you are still in school... as you begin the resume/interview process, you *really* need to refer to the school that you attend at UTEP and not UT. That could really cause some potential employers to raise an eyebrow.
And while we are it, the "university system" is not a concept unique to Texas- in fact, I believe that most if not all states have the same set-up. However, when athletic teams take the field, the "main" campus (e.g. Austin, Knoxville, Lincoln, Norman) has just the state name on their jerseys, whereas all the "system" schools always have the full inital thing.
