Austin: "Live Music Capital of the World."
Austin is a big city with a small-town feel. It's relaxed yet bustling, rich in tradition yet eclectic. You'll find a lot of everything — natural beauty, vibrant nightlife, big business and a casual atmosphere.
Austin regularly makes the grade as one of the country's:
- Smartest, coolest and greenest cities
- Best places to live
- Top WiFi cities
- Best cities for making movies
Austin is also a great place to complete internships and to find a job. In fact, recently Forbes.com named Austin one of the top 10 "Best Big Cities for Jobs." In 2008, it also named Austin one of the "Best Cities for Young Professionals."
