College Navigator lists the University of Texas at Austin with a Fall 2024 student population of 53,864, and Austin Community College District with 39,727. This note does not state an out-of-state share for either school. Campus garages are a poor fit for a multi-car trailer. Set a street or lot the driver can pull through, and follow the school's permit rules for where a delivered car may sit.
Common practice is to avoid a dead-end or a garage entrance the trailer cannot clear. Tell the driver about downtown street closures before the day. The location list has no auction yard or base on the Austin city row, so a personal-car quote stays a truck move.
Register within 30 days of moving to Texas. Active-duty military and non-resident full-time students are not required to register or title. Steps are on the Texas registration page. Confirm the holding address the morning of pickup, and tell the driver about gates, low wires, and any street the trailer cannot enter.
