I agree UT is in Austin. I am from Houston and have lived in Texas all my life until I went to school in Tenn. When anyone I know says UT or Texas they are talking about the one in Austin. If they go to the UT in Dallas then it is UTD or the one it San Antonio its UTSA. I mean even those schools websites call themselves UTD and UTSA. If you are applying for a job and you put down UT please mean the one in Austin. Not that UTSA or UTD arent good schools but lets be honest UT is much harder to get accepted into then the other two I mean they defer acceptance of students to attend those other schools.
