Campus Walk
The University of Texas Tower is the main building on campus and a landmark in Austin. You can se it from almost anywhere in the central city and it's very beautiful at night when it's lit up. For many outside of Austin, however, the tower is mostly known through the tragic events of a late summer day in 1966. It was then the university student Charles Whitman went on a killing frenzy and shot 45 people - of which 14 died - from the observation deck of the tower.
The first in a long line of presidents, George Washington, has a honorable position in front of the main building.
Another well known symbol of the university is Littlefield Fountain. Unfortunately, the water was turned off and the fountain drained for the winter.
Austin is known for its many musicians and artists. I must say the street art here is better than graffiti.
