A Driving Tour of the University of Texas Area

Just after the Ransom Center is the beloved Littlefield Fountain, with striking European-style statues of leaping horses. Behind the statue you will see “the Six Pack,” which is a part of campus that houses academic buildings in the shape of a six pack of beer. It also has a beautiful grassy mall in the middle where students nap, study, and chat. Just beyond the Six Pack it is the UT tower, notorious for the deadly 1966 shootings, but a beloved symbol of the university (and is lit up burnt orange on special occasions). If you want to further explore this beautiful area, park in Dobie’s garage on the corner of 21st Street and Whitis and take a stroll.
