Residential life[edit]
The campus is currently home to fourteen residence halls, the newest of which opened for residence in Spring 2007. On-campus housing can hold more than 7,100 students.[92] Jester Center is the largest residence hall with its capacity of 2,945.[93] Academic enrollment exceeds the on-campus housing capacity; as a result, most students must live in private residence halls, housing cooperatives, apartments, or with Greek organizations and other off-campus residences. The Division of Housing and Food Service, which already has the largest market share of 7,000 of the estimated 27,000 beds in the campus area, plans to expand to 9,000 beds in the near future.[94]
Student organizations[edit]
The university recognizes more than 1,000 student organizations.[95] In addition, it supports three official student governance organizations that represent student interests to faculty, administrators, and the Texas Legislature. Student Government, established in 1902, is the oldest governance organization and represents student interests in general.[96] The Senate of College Councils represents students in academic affairs and coordinates the college councils,[97] and the Graduate Student Assembly represents graduate student interests.[98] The University Unions Student Events Center serves as the hub for student activities on campus.[99] The Friar Society serves as the oldest honor society at the university.[100] The Livestrong Texas 4000 for Cancer student organization is the longest annual charity bicycle ride in the world and has raised over $4 million for cancer research from its founding in 2004 to August, 2013.[101] The Texas Blazers is an honorary service organization with members chosen from the UT Student Body for their leadership, committed to a more "hands-on" approach to service that included high standards of academics, leadership, and spirited support of the University.
