Most of the museums we've visited lately (including the LBJ and Blanton) are located on the University of Texas campus. One of my readers advised me to see the Harry Ransom Museum, also located on the campus. We tried to visit that one, but it was closed until September 8th.
Both Christy and I remarked just how huge the University of Texas campus is. It can almost be a small town on its own. There are restaurants, shops, museums, performance centers, and an enormous football stadium (where the Longhorns play). Christy also pointed out how clean it was too. I imagine compared to the Douliou University, it's quite different from what she's used to.
The University of Texas does have a bit of notorious history, though. It was here that, in 1966, Charles Whitman climbed to the top of the UT clock tower with a sniper rifle and killed 14 people. If there were any memorials to the victims, I couldn't find it.

Have you never been to UCLA? That is a pretty big campus.
