First Steps at UT Austin | Austin News

Thousands of students are settling into dorms at the University of Texas at Austin this weekend, marking their first steps into college life — full of excitement, nerves, and new beginnings. Campus staff and volunteers are on hand to welcome them and immerse them in the “Longhorn experience,” offering resources and activities to help them thrive. Safety remains a top priority as officials ramp up campus patrols and lighting, urging students to stay alert and stick together, especially at night. The move-in kicks off with “Gone to Texas” and continues through “Longhorn Welcome,” a week packed with events designed to connect students, ease the transition, and prep them for classes starting Monday, August 24th.
