University of North Texas at Dallas

I absolutely hated my experience in this joke of a school, one year here was enough for me to have nightmares about this place for the rest of my life. I’ve never been the type of student to dislike school, on the contrary, I’ve always enjoyed school. Sadly, this place was horrible.
First of all, the library is a joke. How is this even a library? There’s literally no books and no walls to keep the noise level from the hallway out. it is TINY. Placing couches outside of the library for students to gather around and talk? Real smart, some of us who needed a quiet place were forced to leave the library because it was horribly loud. My community college (Richland) had a better more sophisticated library than this joke.
Professors… while I did have one or two good professors it almost felt as if they cared more about their classes in Denton than in the Dallas campus? On the plus side classes were small enough you got to interact with the professor.
Transferred out of this university and hoping to never go back.

I am a non-​traditional student that decided to quit the rat race 2 yrs ago to finally the finish the degree I never had. Knowing that I could never afford SMU (of which I only live 6 blocks from), I «settled» on UNT and am quite happy with my decision. Aside from the freaking 1 hour drive each way, it is a cool campus in the middle of a complete overhaul of its Union building… the heart of the campus. I especially love that it strives to accomplish «green» eco standards. Of course, it’s not by accident that «Go Mean Green» is its slogan. In my second year, I’ve only had 3 professors that do not have their doctorates but that doesn’t slight the quality of their classes. The campus has a funky vibe and is truly worthy of consideration when choosing colleges. My only gripe is that I’ve had 2 advisors in 2 years and after 6 months, the International Studies still does not have a dedicated advisor. Frustrating since I will be graduating this semester.

As a senior at UNT Dallas I have experienced the growth of the school. The school I loved so dear I now dread coming to. The current problems with the school are critical to the students. Lets go through the list.
#1. Professors were let go and replaced with less knowledgeable professors. An incoming student may never know the difference, but students like me that have been there before the second building opened and the school was senior and junior level only, have seen the school go from better to worse.
#2. The schools individual computer systems were replaced with a cloud server system that has been nothing but slow, inadequate and buggy.
#3. The Library. The library is to small. It is mostly digital so don”t expect to have actual books to browse through. For a University this is in my view shameful. My Junior college was more sophisticated,
#4. The second building that was so eagerly to be built and utilized was to the students to be a failure. The promised library, and school cafeteria was dismal. The study area is loud and echos.
#5. They started charging $ 100 for parking.
#6. The second building has some class rooms with glass walls that have a view to the hall way. There are no blinds so expect to be distracted by activity in the hallway.
There are positives to coming here to UMT Dallas.
#1. The class size is small enough to get acquainted: with your professor.
#2. The campus is small and convenient.
#3. The school is racially diversified.
I hope things will improve as the school grows. For now, I would have to give the school a «D» for being below average, when I know it could do better.

good class size… most of the professors care about the students
