A work in progress

About

College is difficult.

Maybe you passed your standardized tests, did a bunch of extracurriculars, and chose a major.

But what happens next? Now you're at this new place for four years (more or less), and it's nothing like you've experienced before. Even more frighening is what happens if you're not like most students. What if you're a non-traditional student who's coming from a community college? How about first-generation? What about if you're a veteran?

Resources and information scattered throughout dozens of web pages, and even more is only spread through word-of-mouth.

Why not document all of that information in one place?

Part of Nebula Labs, the UTD Survival Guide seeks to be the place people go when they want honest, useful information about UTD and its students. Even more than that, the Guide will provide a glimpse of student life in an easy, accessible manner.

This repository, survival-guide contains code for the Guide's website.
