What are your experiences with racial, religious, LGBT, socio-economic, and/or other groups on campus? UTD is a very inclusive and welcoming school. The high proportion of international students really incentivized the administration to spur the development for groups for every demographic, and they've definitely succeeded in this role. What kind of students would feel out of place at this school? African Americans and Native Americans are very small minorities at the University of Texas at Dallas. However, they shouldn't fell discouraged, as the school reaches out to them. What do most students wear to class? Really casual clothes. There are no dominate cliques or fashions on campus. There are four tables of students at the dining hall. Describe them. 1. International Students 2. Nerdy students who fully embrace and live out UTD's stereotype 3. Normal American students who are here on scholarship that didn't go Greek 4. Students in fraternities and sororities Where are most of the students from? By and large, the students are either a) from Texas, particularly Dallas or b) International. There are very few students from around the country, and UTD is definitely still a commuter campus. What financial backgrounds are most prevalent? UTD follows a bell curve in terms of its students' financial backgrounds. There are students from wealthy and lower income households, but most of us are from the middle class. Are students politically aware / active? Are they predominantly left, right or center? Students aren't very politically aware or active, and as a result, I can't say with a whole lot of confidence what political ideology dominates the campus. This primarily stems from the international students who are unable to play a role in domestic politics.

UTD has an extremely diverse student body; every race, sexual orientation, gender, nationality, religion, and culture is represented here. You will feel out of place here if you are uncomfortable being surrounded by people who are not like you. If there are four tables at the dining hall one is full of indians, one is full of asians, one is full of eccentric/hipster/nerdy types, and the other is most likely a mixed race group of athletic looking people. Most people here that I have met come from middle class backgrounds. Everyone here plans on earning a lot of money in the future.

Most all the classmates on campus were dedicated and motivated, of course this varies from person to person--but there was not one night where you wouldn't walk into the library at 1am without seeing study groups researching answers.

No one discusses or acknowledges the races. Black student would most likely feel out of place at UTD. There really are not very many interracial communications. Students are not politically aware or active. Student at UTD are here for one thing, not to pursue a career or field they enjoy or know anything about, but to get a degree to get a job in a high paying field.

UT Dallas is a surprisingly diverse school. We have a large number of students from India, China, Taiwan, and other places. That is not really a big issue on campus. In class we cooperate and talk freely with each other. Outside of class you will see some groups that all look alike, but more of them that are a mix of races and religions. Mostly, we are far more concerned with our grades than who is sitting next to us.
