The Turtle Pond: A Getaway on Campus

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Texas chapter.

The Turtle Pond is a great place to study, nap, or just sit with friends and relax.

This part of the pond is dedicated to those who lost their lives in the 1966 shooting at UT.

Bernice Chuang is a fourth year double majoring in Broadcast Journalism and Communication Studies-Human Relations and doing the Business Foundations Program (aka business minor) at the University of Texas at Austin. Born and raised in Houston, Texas, Bernice is a fan of good country music and yummy barbeque! At UT, Bernice is a resident assistant at an all-female residence hall and currently serves as a senator representing her residence hall, Kinsolving, on the Resident Assistant Association.
