yes.

yes

To an extent yes this is true. UTD students are extremely bright and they are driven. Many people are working or interning at the same time so they take their education very seriously, especially in the School of Management.

Absolutely not. We here at UTD enjoy our video games and animated escapes, but we are a friendly, open university with a diverse population which contributes to our well-roundedness as a whole. The students here are focused on academics, but there are a variety of organizations and sports clubs which appeals to many different interests.

This isn't true. There is definitely the fair share of work (which is a good thing, because if your school isn't making you work for your rewards, then you're really paying them for a piece of paper that says you earned something, but didn't learn anything). However, this is a great school to establish networks through. There are many professional forums, and social activities that allow students to not only attend but also participate and interact in.

Yes. You cannot walk up to a UTD student and make a point without justifying the point with facts. The students make the best use of 5 Ws and 1H. UTD students to derive rather than jump into inferences.

Yes, walk through the campus and you will see students everywhere in study groups, where you can make life long friends. That is one of the great perks of the school. They encourage students to form study groups and help each other learn material, what one knows the other may have trouble, so you get to teach each other. They also provide places for study labs and library meeting rooms, and it does make a big difference in your grade. You have a great opportunity to learn with like minded people that have gone to college to prepare for their next stage of life.
