Among college professors there are beneficiaries of the Nobel Prize, Pulitzer Prize, the Wolf Prize, and the National Medal of Science, and numerous different awards. 

Building looks fantastic inside and outside, especially libraries.
The registration system makes it difficult to get into classes so you can graduate on time. There are few resources on campus outside of the classroom to learn so you're going to be teaching most of the material to yourself. Some classes are super competitive which makes students rude and uncooperative with each other. 
There is always something to do, either on campus around the great city of Austin. Granted the classes are very difficult, but they are also very rewarding. Professors are nice and friendly, they all want to see the students succeed, so it creates a great learning environment.

Pros
Friendly and qualified professors, high education level, this college has in offer many useful student services.

Cons
Inconvenient registration system, unfair grades - when you get along with lecturers you can get better marks,
