The University of Texas at Dallas Top Questions

UTD is a commuter school. This will change in a few years, but most people on campus aren't really ON campus. Most people come to UTD to get their degree to progress their careers.

I recomend the UT Dallas School of Management to everyone who wants to advance academically and profesionally.

The School of Management at UTD has really great academic programs combined with some really experienced professors, thus making it a great school. All Classes I've taken so far constantly reiterate concepts I've taken in previous classes, helping me relate all fields of business together. I also really enjoy it when instructors use real world examples, because those are what really help when it comes to understanding.

This is a great school. MBA ranks among top 50 nationwide. It is a great experience for me to come here.

Being a mom and out of studies for sometime , i was scared and worried when i decided to join UTD. but joining UTD is one of my best decisions in life. i will ever be grateful to UTD and it will be a special part of my life always.

If you are looking for a good education, I would recommend UTD. However, if you are looking for the "college experience," I wouldn't recommend UTD.

Great school and will only get better. Ten years from now everyone will want to attend UTD.

UT Dallas is a really good school. It has myriad opportunities for any student looking to get a great education while getting involved in groups on campus.

UT Dallas is awesome because you can make it tailor to what you want your University experience to look like. It also has the ability to push you out of your comfort zone with the diverse student body.

UTD should work on the parking situation since it is a commuter school. I cant tell you how many times i have seen random buses parked sideways taking up five spots or cones blocking spots. Tell the worthless UTD cops to do their "job" and move these idiots off of the lot that students pay OVER $100 FOR!!!

UTD is getting better and better!

Great full time curriculum.

The biggest complaint leveled against UTD is that, unlike other colleges, they don't have a football team. The truth is, I'm happy we don't have a football team, because that means every cent of tuition goes to academics and the students, and not to building a stadium or some other program only a select few have access to.

Funny rap introducing School of Management at The University of Texas at Dallas

UTD demands a high level of student participation in each class I have attended. To pass graduate school classes requires a minimum of a "B" in the courses. I am aware of only a small percentage of students who fail to achieve that level of learning. The work is demanding but rewarding. Many of the people in my social circle outside school have made comments to me about their impression of the UTD School of Management as a highly respected institute of business- concentrated higher education.

UTD has very innovative programs to help students get through tough classes, including PLTL (Peer Led Team Learning) weekly meetings where you and your peers work through difficult problems together, SIs (Student Instructors) which are students that have already taken the class and exceled who hold review sessions to help you understand concepts being taught, TAs (Teacher Assistants) that know what the professor is looking for and will push you in the right direction, Math and Writing Labs where instructors will help develop your skills in weak areas, and a Success Center to help with any academic difficulties.

UTD is unique in that it was established in the sixties. Because the school is fairly new, there is a ton of construction to account for the huge increase in enrollment. Also, there is very little tradition. The mascot was stolen from the Special Olympics. Our alma mater is lame and we link our pinkies when we sing it. Once my friend yelled out "U T D WOOSH!" to see how many people in the cafeteria would make the nazi-looking gesture unique to UTD, and only one person timidly did so. There isnt much enthusiasm for the school.

We're very oriented on the sciences, math, and engineering. Our science professors are very open to research ideas and allowing us research experience without pre requisites and as novices.

Strong educational programs, beautiful campus, close to home, fun environment and diverse staff.

My school focuses on the sciences and business. Any other department, does not have an extremely strong program, granted the programs are still really good compared to most. We have the most outlandish mascot, the comet. There is practically no school spirit; we do not even have a football team. However, we have a really good soccer program.
