Madison Jones – University of Texas at Austin

“I always grew up liking UT,” Jones said. “I watched their sports teams, and I visited Austin a lot when I was little. I just love the atmosphere. There’s always something to do in the city. I wanted to experience something new when I went to college, so I feel like UT is the best place. They’re also known for some of the best academics in the nation, and I wanted to be somewhere where I would be pushed academically and have a degree of high esteem but also be able to enjoy myself and experience something that I never had before. I’m excited for the football games, especially the UT and OSU game. I’m also excited for all the music festivals like Austin City Limits and for breakfast tacos. Don’t be afraid to get out of your comfort zone and go somewhere you’re not familiar with. Do whatever you feel is best for you, and do whatever makes you happy.”
