About Austin
Founded in 1883, UT Austin is the flagship campus of the University of Texas System and one of the top public research universities in the country. The Forty Acres—the historic heart of campus—sits beneath the iconic Tower, a 307-foot limestone structure that’s been UT’s symbol for generations. With 52,000+ students across 18 schools and colleges, UT offers depth and specialization that most campuses can’t match. For groups comparing schools, it’s the chance to see what a major research institution actually feels like on the ground—plus explore one of the most vibrant cities in the country steps away from campus.

Testimonials
Switching to Kairos was the best decision we could have made. (The Kairos Team) accommodated every request, smoothed out details, and stepped in with authority when she needed to. The hotels were amazing: all high quality and near the city center. We loved all of the expeditions. It was such a relief to travel by train and public transport rather than by bus. If you like fun things and hate annoying things, choose Kairos.
The entire trip was wonderful! Every little detail was planned to perfection. It's not easy to move 140 students/adults through three countries (plus multiple cities and day trips), but Kairos travel did it seamlessly and with excellence! I would 100% recommend them to anyone. All of our accommodations, travel, transfers, and excursions were so well planned and the communication before and during our trip was exceptional.
