Introduction

As a university in the state of Texas, we have our own type of culture. We love our traditions, football, the color burnt orange, and throwing up the horns in every picture we take. However, subcultures are prevalent in many aspects of UT. Subcultures can be defined as a cultural group within a larger culture that differ in a variety of ways. Our main focus for these blog entries is to uncover different subcultures in the different dorms around campus. We did this by utilizing interviews and observations to understand the different atmospheres and environments that appear in six different residence halls at the University of Texas. In our observations we looked at different aspects of the dorms like dining halls, study rooms, causal resident life, and hang out areas. The three of us all live in different dormitories, so we each observed these interactions in our specific resident halls as well as one other dorm on campus.
