However, I love the school regardless even if they are taking every dime I have to give me another edu'maction (I am sure that would make my professors proud). After doing a BA and a MS here - I have ventured back for another MS degree and now a regular at this campus. This location is so easy to get to - the classes are comfortable - and there's a coffee shop on the main floor open until 7 PM. The staff have been super friendly while I work to find my way around or need a jump for my car because my battery died. At least they always make me feel "special" given the amount of money I am investing in myself and their institution.

Parking is available and easy once you locate Building III, where the Professional Education Center is located. The second floor classrooms have pleasant views of trees and greater Austin. The building is fairly quiet - you hear a bit of road noise from Hwy 183 and occasionally hear voices from the neighboring classroom. The lab computers in room 203 were modern Dell workstations - 16 GB RAM, 3.5 Ghz processors, and dual monitors.

I've attended several conferences at their Commons Conference Center…read more The Commons is a perfect venue for small to medium-sized conferences. There is a large main theatre and several smaller conference rooms. Parking is a breeze as long as you have a parking pass. All of the conferences that I attended were very well-catered. They provide a good breakfast pastry and sandwich spread pre-conference. Lunch is always either BBQ or a sandwich salad spread. Of course, there are snacks and coffee all day. Our conferences usually have a cocktail mixer in the evening and the staff is always accommodating, again, there are great appetizers. This is a perfect venue for your conference and the proximity to the Domain makes it easy for out-of-towners to commute from the local hotels and for evening socializing.

Bill Blackstone and the Galvanize crew are fantastic. They keep the space running great and full of interesting community events every week. Helpful, friendly, smart staff!

Definitely worth checking out.

Are you looking for a Full-Stack Web Developer Bootcamp? if so, this is the perfect place for you…read more I'm currently in the Full-Stack program and I love it. I had no previous experience yet, I've learned so much in the last 4 months. They have great instructors, and the curriculum is well designed so you can have a very good experience throughout the program. We have instructors during the whole 6 months every single day, from 9 to 5 pm. They explain to us the topic of the day/week and then we work in different projects that helps us to practice the new stuff that we learn every day. The main reason that I choose Galvanize over other Bootcamps, is the timeline. Being a 6 months program I think offers you more time to wrap your head around new concepts and new languages such as JavaScript. In addition, you are a Galvanize member and get free access to the building even during the weekends. Another great thing is the support that they give you during your job hunting. They help you with the resume, cover letters and how to prepare for interviews. Personally, I've enjoyed very much my experience here, and I have nothing but great things to say about Galvanize.

The LBJ school is an October/November 2022 polling place. I recommend this location for anyone who…read moreneeds to vote. It has lots of parking and is on campus at UT Austin, but separated from most academic buildings by a hill, so it is far less busy than the other UT Austin polling place, the Flawn Academic Center (FAC). The building is nice and next door to the Benson Latin American Collection and the LBJ library, which has a nice publicly accessible butterfly garden.

I am currently in my second year of a three year dual degree Master's program; one of my degrees is…read morea Master's in Public Affairs that I will receive from the LBJ School of Public Affairs in 2009. I have found that it is easy to be critical of any collegiate institution when you are very stressed out and at the bottom of the totem poll. THE PROGRAM The school offers two Master's degrees: a Master's of Public Affairs, and a Master's in Global Public Policy. The latter degree was offered for the first time in the 07-08 academic year and has not yet developed its own character. The MPAff is the traditional degree, and requires more quantitative coursework (although some of the 'quant' is at an undergraduate level) than most entering students expect. Both programs take two years to complete. The school also has a PhD program. THE FACULTY The mostly male professors at the school are almost all very intelligent. Many of the faculty are easy to get along with, very well connected, and prestigious in their disciplines. Unfortunately some of the faculty are stereotypical professors: sloppy offices and appearances, ego-maniancs, tough to track down, and constantly shirking responsibility. Since there are so many faculty members, it is possible to avoid many of the ones you don't get along with. THE STUDENT BODY The students (~250) are mostly white, women, liberal, and Master's students. The average age of a student is approximately 27 although there are many recent college graduates. The school has a rumor that incoming classes vary from year-to-year between outgoing and introverted students. Students are mostly respective of one another's opinions, and there is (unfortunately) an almost ubiquitous fear of math. THE STAFF The Office of Student and Alumni Programs (OSAP) is centrally located, and has recently expanded to six staff with a friendly graduate student at the front desk. The OSAP staff is very easy to get along with, and is mostly helpful. The school's librarian is a quirky fellow who can make UT's library system work for you. The technology office is staffed by a cranky lady who sends snide emails to the students about their disregard for the school's printers. The Writing Center lady is almost always excited and encouraging the students to publish their work. The business staff in the school almost never interacts with the students. I almost never feel welcome in the Dean's Office. THE BUILDING AND LOCATION The LBJ School is located on the corner of Dean Keaton and Red River, which is convenient for commuters. The school's location separates it from the University and, subsequently, the undergrad population. The building and surrounding plaza is currently being renovated, and there is no end in sight (or at least there is minimal communication about the status of renovations). The interior of the building is scheduled (?) to be renovated in the 08-09 academic year, and the students are still unsure where classes will be held. The future of the building is promising, but students have yet to see any design drawings. There's more to the school than this review, but I need to get back to doing actual schoolwork instead of just talking about it.

Did you know that there is a bona fide medical school in downtown Austin? It's a fairly recent…read moredevelopment thanks to a quite generous endowment by Michael & Susan Dell, plus a hefty investment by taxpayers in Austin and Travis County, and then the whole of Texas (if you include taxes paid to support our public state university systems). Dell Medical School (DMS) is part of the University of Texas at Austin and is co-located for the most part with the Dell Seton Medical Center (the replacement for our former public hospital, Brackenridge) near the Frank Erwin Center (aka "The Drum"). The institution describes itself as an unprecedented community partnership with no historical baggage and the freedom to innovate to perform its mission "to revolutionize the way people get and stay healthy in ways that make Austin a model healthy city." Even if you're not a current/potential med school student or a patient (learn about the clinic here: https://uthealthaustin.org/about-utha) in the associated health district facilities, there are some points of interest if you're in the area: #1: Public artwork You can drop by to view (or Instagram) Michael Quinn's beautiful Spiral of the Galaxy sculpture https://landmarks.utexas.edu/artwork/spiral-galaxy in the Health Learning Building (HLB) courtyard or go inside to see Ann Hamilton's foggy & diverse O N E E V E R Y O N E portrait series, https://landmarks.utexas.edu/artwork/oneeveryone. #2: Nourish Cafe (1st floor of HLB, west side) A quick, fresh & healthy bite or beverage (including coffee and juice) at college student prices - not bad! Seasonal salads, soups, sandwiches, baked and grilled items prepared by Flik Hospitality are efficiently served via cafeteria-style tray-line, and you can dine in the sunny indoor dining area or outside in the tree-shaded courtyard. A few packaged snacks and bottled drinks are available for carry-out, too. Open Mon-Fri 7:30a - 10a (coffee & breakfast tacos); 11:30a - 1:30p (full lunch bar). #3: Live music performances & other public arts events Concerts occur outdoors & indoors at different times throughout the year, such as the April "Sound in Sculpture" event near the conch sculpture in the plaza. Check the DMS calendar for the next one here: https://dellmed.utexas.edu/events . There's also a cool free & open to the public event series called "Arts and Medicine" held in partnership with the Medical Center next door: https://www.seton.net/classes/community-classes/arts-and-medicine/ #4: Rooftop garden An 11,000-square foot succulent-and-wildflower garden installed through a partnership between the UT, the Dell Seton Medical Center and the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center. Okay, this is technically on top of the Med Center garage roof, but it's visible from the DMS' Health Transformation Building and is such a cool feature!

When my mother's health started to decline, Dr. Brown's guidance was immeasurably helpful. She sat with my mother and I for over an hour, patiently explaining our options, test results, and her thought process about how to proceed. We'll be polite and call my mom "stubborn", but Dr. Brown handled her with care and grace. At no point did we feel like we were being rushed or pressured, she had clearly done her homework before sitting down to speak with us, and it really felt like we were having a long conversation with a caring friend. Dr. Brown is a huge asset to both Dell Medical school, and the medical community at large.
