The University of Texas at Dallas Top Questions

The parking lots. They are not in good conditions, and most of them are far away from the buildings.

There is no social scene here! The school is very bad about offering activities for students and on weekends the campus is dead. We don't have a football team and the school is only known for it's chess team, so school spirit is very low.

Nothing

It's in the middle of a shopping-center district, which, though very low in crime (because the city was able to pass a law prohibiting ex-convicts from living within 5 miles of a school, and then built all the schools within 5 miles of each other) has no scenic value, something I miss from when I lived in France and in rural New England.

I wish there was more interaction with the professors and faculty. I feel that thee is not enough bonding time with them to see where the y are coming from.

Student life, while growing, still has a ways to go before the school will have a "traditional" undergraduate feel.

The campus is quite lacking in extracurricular activities and social life. That is because it used to be a graduate school and is transforming slowly to support the need of social life and fun.

its small, somewhat ugly, the on campus housing is overpriced and undermaintained. the surrounding area is not very student oriented.

It's hard to make friends because there is no requirement to live on campus, and even if you did live on campus, we only have apartments, not dorms. Also, we don't have a football team, so there isn't too much school spirit.

housing

Not a very large arts/theatre department or good facilities for that department.

No school spirit, no football team, no good social activites, police are over protective bc of school ranking in safety

No variety, its pretty much the same thing in all around campus.

The school has a large number of older students and commuter students. While it is great that they are furthering their education, it takes away from a genuine university atmosphere. Very few students care about what is going on at the school.
