After the stop sign, you’ll see UT’s Gregory Gym on your left, where students exercise. The huge buildings on the right belong to Jester, UT’s largest dormitory (and one of its oldest). You’ll dead-end at the Darrel K. Royal Memorial Stadium, where the infamous Longhorns play football. If you made it this far, feel free to park and walk around and get a feel for campus life. Once you're done, turn around and head back to Guadalupe, as navigating the campus roads after this point get pretty tricky.

Next Stop: Jester and the Stadium
The Darrel K. Royal Stadium is where Austin's beloved Longhorns play football.

When you’re ready to get back into the car, you have two options. You can immediately turn around and go back to Guadalupe, depending when it is. If it is the morning or afternoon on a week day, you cannot enter without a permit, as there is as guard booth. However, if it is a weekend or early evening, you can pass through. If you continue into campus, you’ll see a business school building on your left and the enormous Perry Casteñeda Library on your right.
