The University of Bristol offers UT students an opportunity to take a
variety of courses alongside local students. Specifically, this
university is known for its academic rigor in Natural Sciences and
Liberal Arts. Considered by many to be the UK's Ivy League, Bristol is
one of the most competitive universities for British students.
The city of Bristol has a long history and is considered one of the
most attractive in Britain. It was once a thriving port, second to
London. Now, Bristol has become a vibrant city with a dominant youth

courses undertaken are computed into the official UT Austin GPA, just
