The weather was just perfect. It was sunny and in 60s, just the kind of weather that gets people to come out and play.
I went to University of Texas campus which is right in downtown. UT at Austin is one of the largest campus in US with over 48,000 students and 2700 faculty members. Here are a few pictures from my leisurely stroll through through the campus.

I am staying at Embassy Suites which is located right next to I-35 near Highland Mall, kind of convenient.

School of Business - Saw several students enjoying the sun and having group study sessions. All of them had their laptop open and using campus wide free wi-fi access.

UT has a very strong foot ball team and they have a beautiful stadium similar to the horse shoe of OSU. I wanted to go in snap a few pictures, but couldn't.
