UT StationsThe University of Texas main campus is served by two stations located a quarter-
mile apart on Guadalupe Street, between 22nd and 26th Streets: UT/Dean Keeton
Station and UT/West Mall Station. Both are served by the MetroRapid 801 and
803 lines. Given their proximity, these two stations are best understood as a single
station area. The historic core of the UT campus is located east of Guadalupe, while
the west side is occupied by campus-related retail and services. West Campus is
located northwest of UT/Dean Keeton Station, and the University’s new business
school is under construction south of UT/West Mall Station.
