We like to work off the extra calories acquired over the weekend… and Tuesdays…and Thursdays… by playing INTRAMURAL SPORTS every week! Basketball games start this Sunday at 4:30, and we could use some more girl players! No worries if you’ve never played any of these sports before; we’ll be playing in the least competitive division so it’s all for fun! Other sports during the semester include Soccer, Softball, and Water Volleyball. If you haven’t signed up with us yet and are interested in playing any of these sports, please email us at members@planetlonghorn.net with your UT EID!

We also know that meeting Internationals or Americans is a tough job when there is already so much going on. Planet Longhorn is here to help make that easier for you with our BUDDY PROGRAM! If there are any Internationals looking to get to know Americans on a more personal level or vice versa, shoot us an email and we’ll send you an easy application!

Last but definitely not least, we’ll be meeting at pubs and bars around campus and the local Austin area every other Thursday at a new venue to help you discover everything Austin has to offer. If you’re interested in getting messages about where we’ll be meeting, join our brand new facebook group “Planet Longhorn Thursday Cultural Excursions” to get all the details about where we’ll meet and when!

NOTE: Most of these bars are 18 & up so everyone is welcome to come hang out!

Come meet each other, meet some local Texas students, learn how to two-step, and get confused by other people’s accents! Here’s a little peak at how Midnight Rodeo will change your life:
