Transportation and Parking
Students ride free on all Capitol Metro Buses, UT shuttle buses, MetroRapid, and Light Rail with a student ID card. The shuttle bus service covers campus and many parts of Austin, including the Pickle Research Center. Maps, timetables and travel planner available on the CapMetro website.
The bus timetable is also linked to the bus stop icons in GoogleMaps and to the GoogleMaps route-planner, and the Transit App has live arrival times, route maps and a journey planner on a platform that is more stable than the CapMetro App.
Parking is very limited at UT Austin. All registered students are eligible to purchase a ‘C’ hangtag permit. Registered graduate students who are employed by UT for at least twenty hours per week (GRAs, TAs, and some fellowship holders) may request an ‘A’ hangtag permit online. The graduate coordinator sends in a parking verification form to the parking office in late August. If you believe you qualify for ‘A’ parking and the parking office does not have your name, contact the graduate coordinator. For more information on eligibility, fees, location of the parking lots, or other information on parking, contact UT Parking.
Finding Housing
Off-Campus Housing
UT Austin’s International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) website provides some great housing resources for both international students and US citizens. They have detailed information regarding apartment guides, apartment finders, Austin-area utilities (electric, water, gas, etc.), average rental rates, rental terminology, rental procedures, and Austin-area bus routes and bus schedules for students. The ISSS also provides a list of questions to ask when searching for an apartment off-campus, and rental termination procedures.
The UT Graduate Office also offers online resources to aid students in the housing search, and has a grad student housing survey from across campus.
The Graduate Student Housing Forum was created for incoming and current graduate students to find roommates, existing housing, and to share your opinions on housing locations, apartment complexes, and/or Austin-area neighborhoods. You can “enroll” yourself here: https://utexas.instructure.com/enroll/R7EPL6 to see the discussions.
Craigslist Austin hosts a number of off-campus housing listings.
There is a roommate finder Facebook page moderated by undergraduates, which some students have found useful.
Safety
We encourage you to read the University's Safety Guide for Off-Campus Housing as well as educate yourself about tenants’ rental rights through the Austin Tenants' Council. Additionally it might be helpful to read Craigslist's Tips for Avoiding Scams.
University Housing
The University of Texas at Austin owns one off-campus apartment complex specifically for graduate students, married students, and families. This property has a very long waitlist, and if you are interested in getting on the waitlist, you should do so immediately.
While the majority of graduate students live off-campus, graduate students are eligible for on-campus housing in the University Residence Halls alongside undergraduate students.
International Student Organizations as a Housing Resource
Many international student organizations, such as the Chinese Student and Scholar Association (CSSA), maintain their own websites that provide housing (and other) resources for international student members. To find your respective international student organization, search the list of registered student organizations on the UT Austin’s Dean of Students Organization Database
Buy/Sell Furniture
Moving house usually involves buying and selling furniture. UT Buy/Sell/Trade/Free and UT Austin Goods Exchange are both Facebook pages that require a @utexas.edu email address for membership. And there is always craigslist
