NOO! not at all.... thats so annoying people from texas are not all rednecks and racist!!! Austin is a very cool town, and UT is an awesome school filled with a variety of people. A lot of liberal, earthy people live in Austin.. not rednecks. Where in Texas are you living now??!

May I echo the previous answer that Austin and UT are both liberal places to be. UT has more international students than almost any other University in the country as well as some of the brightest students around. Getting into UT is not a given. Although it is a state school, they do not automatically admit all comers and they are quite selective in their admission policies. All that I have heard about San Francisco is not good, but mostly, so I do not know how to compare the two cities. I can say that I lived there for 8 years, have two grown sons that live there now, and I am making a permanent move back there in the next few months. My sons went to UT and are anything but rednecks or racists. My oldest son went to UT, had roommates from India and Maylaysia and friends from all over the world. His wife of 9 years is from Mexico City - we are Scotch Irish Americans. My younger son went there too. Is part of the artsy/craftsy bunch being a talented artist and works in the theater industry in the area on production crews as well as production staff for Broadway plays coming to town and rock bands, etc. My daughter dates a young black man. Not every family is enlightened but if you are looking for non-judgmental people, accepting of diversity and interested in getting to know many different kinds of people, you can't beat Austin.
