Dorm life at UT is a mixed bag. Jester is old, the walls are thin, and the beds aren't the most comfortable. San Jac is new and is right by the stadium. But private dorms are worth the few extra bucks. Dobie is a great location with a great set up. Towers are a lot of fun and good for those planning on going Greek because its located in the heart of west campus. SRD is where I lived and I would recommend it to ANY girl going to UT. A lot of the girls living there are in sororitys, but not all of them. Its a great set up, great rooms, great food, cute waitors, great location on campus... I wouldn't change my mind concerning my choice to live there if you paid me. Far better than Hardin House.
Private dorms are the way to go!
