The University of Texas at Arlington Top Questions

Someone is a procrastinator or a slacker.

Prospective students that struggle in Mathematics and are Engineering/Computer Science majors should avoid The University of Arlington. The Math Department is extremely tough and has a super high fail and withdraw rate. Students that come hoping to be Engineering majors often have to change their major because of the strict grading policies of the Math department.

I think this school appeals mostly to older students who are not really looking for any real student social activities. I think young, maybe right out of high school students, would not get a true college experience within this university.

Someone that is lazy and does not want to work for their grades or for their degree.

smart dtudents that want to recieve scholarship money

If the person needs to learn in an atmosphere where you have than 500 students in each class, this is not the school for them.

An average student.

There isnt't a kind of person that shouldn't attend this school. UTA accepts everyone. They are a school of people with great ambitions that want to get a higher education and become a better person in life. If someone wants to have more knowledge then they should como to UTA.

Poeple looking for a party school. UTA is for responsible students.

Any individual not prepared or responsible enough to take their education seriously should not attend this University. Closed minded individuals should also refrain from attending this educational facility.

People who are not open to diversity. This school is very diverse and you can learn many things from the different people you meet here. And of course people who don't really care about school. The people here really care about their schooling and like that environment where they can learn from the professor and peers.

A person who is not serious about getting a formal education and only wants to go to school to get away from home.

I think everyone should get the opportunity to attend college but there is individuals that I consider they shouldn't attend because their slack off or don't seem to care about school and disrupts others from learning. Also, once your attending a university your consider an adult to act responsibly but there's always those who have everything in life and seem to ruin for others.

Some one who is racist, people who want to go to a huge university with a big football program, people who want to play college football, or people who want to party on the weekends

Someone who is not willing to put forth a huge effort in their studies should definitely not attend UTA. Also, if they do not like larger crowds this is not a college for them. if someone is not serious about attending class, doing the work, and getting help when they need it they should not be at this college because it is a lot more challenging than some of the other colleges in this area.

I don't think there is a certain type of student or person who should attend this school because you're going to get those persons who are serious, some not so serious and those in between. Of course, if you're going to any school you should take it serious because an education is costly and they are hard to come by so you should make the most of it when given the opportunity. And for those who are considered not so serious, it takes a little longer for some to realize their full potential.

Anyone that expect to get a free ride. You need to study to pass, especially if you are a freshman. It's not like high school where you can get away with not taking a test and then retake it. If you miss a test, you miss the test and get a zero.

Anyone looking for a party school. Arlington isn't so much a college town, so it's really here for school, not 7 party nights a week.

The University of Texas at Arlington is a great campus for many students. Several college students are dedicated and focused on getting thier degree and some go for the wrong reasons. I feel that students should not attend UTA if they are forced upon going due to thier parents or who ever else. This is a huge stepping stone in the persons life and major decsions are to be evaluated. UTA is expensive and there is a lot of money at stake. No one should be forced to do anything that they do not wish to do.

Someone who is not dedicated to their work. It is okay to be undeclared but you have to have some kind of drive to do well.
