    Explore UT offers a great opportunity to discover the beauty, creativity, and sustainability of the UT Austin campus. I really enjoyed the Landmarks art collection and the way music, interviews, and visuals are combined in the mobile app. The self-guided tours, like the Live Green Campus Tour and Walking Waller Creek, are a fun and educational way to learn more about the environment and history of the university while enjoying a walk outdoors.
