Each academic year from late September to early May, eight new students — from first-year undergrads to graduate students — share their thoughts, photos, videos and experiences online.
The students blog regularly throughout the year at Longhorn Confidential to show just what it’s like to be a Longhorn at The University of Texas at Austin.
Since fall 2006, Longhorn Confidential readers have been privy to blog entries ranging from the hustle and bustle of the Main Mall between classes, participating in a rally at the State Capitol and excitement about graduation to reflections on waking up to no hot water in a dorm. Other insights run the gamut from tips about time management, finals and the cost of textbooks to musings on snow days, foot surgery and upcoming nuptials. Students also share what it’s like to attend college in the vibrant city of Austin.
Longhorn Confidential includes profiles of each of the bloggers, their personal photos and videos, and RSS feeds to make it easier to stay up-to-date on all the latest blog posts.
Check out this year’s group of amazing bloggers, and don’t miss the student blogs from the previous four years:

- 2008-09 Longhorn Confidential

The Longhorn Confidential student blogs project is a collaboration between the university’s Office of Public Affairs and Office of Admissions.

Very touching real story.
College life is one of the best part of life and everyone enjoys it and get new experiences in life and learn new things.
A very emotional story..
Sometimes can be a turning point for human life, university
College is the best part of life for everyone i think, you meet new people and also is the part of life where you have the most fun... cavitacion.
There are so many people out there that have gone through the whole college thing and/or still going through it. They always seem to want to offer advice to others and sometimes it is really helpful advice. But even after reading blogs or talking to older friends, or even watching movies (which only portrays the college life as a big party) I don't think anybody will college truly understand how significant the college experience is until they get to experience it themselves. then eventually they will be that person giving all of their advice to the newbees.
