How can an Aggie grad build a social life after moving to Austin?

Quick answer

Choose an area that makes the activities you care about easy to repeat, then deliberately build weekly routines. SoCo, Mueller, Downtown and The Domain can each support social connection in different ways. Add local Aggie events, apartment resident programming, fitness, live music, outdoor groups, volunteering, church or other recurring communities. Grant’s rule is to get out consistently rather than waiting for friendships to appear on their own.
