Relocating to Austin
We all know that moving to a new city is a big transition, whether you are coming from a different city, state or country. To make your move little easier we have done a little research and found a lot of great information. Please note: we provide this service for informational purposes only. The University of Texas, the MBA Program Office and the McCombs Orientation Committee do not make any specific endorsements of these services.
Perhaps the biggest tip we can give you is to arrive at least a few days early to allow yourself time to get settled a bit and to be able to relax while seeing the sites (and listening to the sounds) of Austin. You can find many local goings on at Austin360’s Calendar of Events.
Looking for housing? Check out Housing in Austin for information on finding a new home, setting up utilities and moving essentials. You may also want to read about important housing, dining, and insurance information, along with fun facts, in the University’s online Grad Guide.
Want to find out more about Austin? Take a look at the Austin, Texas page on the MBA site to learn even more about the great city of Austin, or check out the latest Austin news at Austin360.com.
Finally, just looking for a bookcase, apartment lease, car or just about anything else to help get you settled? Don’t forget to check Austin Craigslist or Hey! Longhorn, where you can find just about anything. (Please note that while these are great resources, as with any Internet site, you’ll want to be extra careful about sharing personal information with people you do not know.)
