The main campus is located less than a mile from the Texas State Capitol in Austin. UT Austin was named one of the original eight "Public Ivy" institutions of higher education; i.e., a public institution that "provides an Ivy League collegiate experience at a public school price."The Public Ivies: Americas Flagship Public Universities (2001) by Howard and Matthew Greene Founded in 1883, the university has had the fifth largest single-campus enrollment in the nation as of fall 2007 (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.
