to the Spring 2011 UTmost Survey results

M

ore than 500 people from the University of Texas community took the survey this semester. And in this edition we present Austin’s finest in food and drink, entertainment, campus life and much more.

Where’s the best happy hour? What’s the best study spot on campus? Whether they’re seasoned champs or newbies (Red Mango, we’re looking at you!), they’re the best of the best according to our voters.

So take a look at our first-, second- and third-place winners on the pages that follow, but be forewarned: You may feel the need to try each and every winner on our list!
