The University of Texas at Austin (also referred to as the University of Texas, UT, UT Austin, or Texas) is a public research university located in Austin, Texas, United States, and is the flagship institution of The University of Texas System.[8][9][10][11] The main campus is located approximately 1&_160;mile (1.6&_160;km) from the Texas State Capitol. The University of Texas was named one of the original eight Public Ivy institutions.[12] Founded in 1883, the university has had the sixth-largest single-campus enrollment in the nation as of fall 2008 (and had the largest enrollment in the country from 1997–2003), with over 50,000 undergraduate and graduate students and 16,500 faculty and staff.[4] It currently holds the largest enrollment of all colleges in the state of Texas.[13]

The university operates various auxiliary facilities aside from the main campus, including the J. J. Pickle Research Campus. The University of Texas is a major center for academic research, annually exceeding $500 million in funding.[4] In addition, the university was recognized by Sports Illustrated as "America's Best Sports College" in 2002.[14] Its sports program has been dubbed the most successful in all of college sports.[15]

The first mention of a public university in Texas can be traced to the 1827 constitution for the Mexican state of Coahuila y Tejas. Although an article promised to establish public education in the arts and sciences, no action was taken by the Mexican government. But after Texas obtained its independence from Mexico in 1836, the Congress of Texas adopted the Constitution of the Republic, which included a provision to establish public education in the republic, including two universities or colleges. On January 26, 1839, the Congress of Texas agreed to eventually set aside fifty leagues of land towards the effort; in addition, 40&_160;acres (160,000&_160;m2) in the new capital of Austin were reserved and designated "College Hill."[16]

In 1846, Texas was annexed into the United States. The state legislature passed the Act of 1858, which set aside $100,000 in United States bonds towards construction of a university. In addition, the legislature designated land, previously reserved for the encouragement of railroad construction, toward the universities' fifty leagues. However, Texas's secession from the Union and the American Civil War prevented further action on these plans.

More than 750,000 Mexican Free-Tail bats make their home under the beams of the Congress Avenue bridge. Following renovations of the iconic bridge in 1980, the bat population took up shelter under the bridge, and it has been their home each summer since.
