With 40 acres and more than 50,000 enrolled, UT students seem to fall into a routine and allow many services to fly under the radar. Take advantage of what UT has to offer by using and attending some of the following services.
1. While on campus, students can print documents from their own computer to a printer in any of the many labs on campus. Visit the Information Technology Services website for installation instructions.
2. ITS offers students, faculty and staff the ability to use a laptop for 24-hour and weekend checkout periods. There is no cost to rent the Dell and Apple laptops available, although late fees do apply.
3. The Fine Arts Library is home to more than books. Feature films, television shows, DVDs and other audio materials are also available. Before heading to a Redbox, save money and stop by.
4. The UT Concho Community Garden, located at 2108 Concho Street, is holding open workdays every Wednesday and Sunday until Aug. 15. Make some friends while learning about various gardening practices. Harvested vegetables are usually ripe and ready for volunteers to take home.
