Is Hyde Park worth considering for an Aggie grad moving to Austin?

Quick answer

Yes, especially when the renter wants a more central neighborhood feel and the work location is north or central. Grant sees Hyde Park as a useful alternative to Downtown, SoCo or The Domain because it can keep you relatively central without requiring a full high-rise lifestyle. The tradeoff is that parts of the area have more student presence, so the exact apartment and immediate surroundings matter.
