Amy

I don't actually brag about my school much, but when I do it's mostly just to say that's it's a good place for music. Also, I like to say that when you're out walking around campus and the weather's nice, you'll often hear people practicing their instruments outside.

Trey

Unlike some schools the TA's seem competent and are understandable.

Kayleigh

I always brag about how beautiful the UNT campus is. In my opinion, UNT has the most beautiful campus in Texas. The buildings are pretty and the landscaping is always gorgeous, even in winter.

Arielle

We have tons of diversity! Everyone at UNT is very open minded and accepting of one another. All types of people can be seen interacting with one another which creates an open and friendly environment. People at UNT are definitely more interested in getting to know you as a person rather than just labeling you as just another face in the crowd.

Dereka

There is a lot of school spirit and lots to do both on and off campus. UNT has the best Fashion Merchandising program in the nation!

Lauren

That the music scene here is unbelievable. The local shows that happen in the North Texas area are usually just as good as professional touring bands. There is so much undiscovered talent in this homey town! Plus, we are near Fort Worth, Dallas, Arlington, and only a short trip from Austin. There is so much to do here and a lot of cool cities around.

UNT has one of the greatest design programs in the nation. They work you to death, but I love the challege. The teachers are very smart and know what they are doing. It is all around a great school.

Jeffery

Excellent College of Music. World-renowned One o' Clock Lab Band. One of the largest music libraries in the country. Great venues and facilities on campus for performance/other uses. Excellent faculty, many with very high qualifications and tremendous reputations. Friendly staff/administration. Wonderful financial aid program (Emerald Eagle Scholars; covers average cost of 15 semester hours in tuition/fees, given that student obligations are met/maintained). Diverse student/faculty distribution (culture, ethnic background, etc). Beautiful campus, spacious and well-equipped to provide for student necessities. Countless opportunities to be involved in campus life and gain exposure.

First of all, I love college. The resources college campuses offer are endless, and the faculty members want their students to succeed. What I love about the University of North Texas specifically, is the fact that we live up to our name. We are home of the "Mean Green" Eagles, and our campus has literally gone green. There are recycling bins in every residence hall, collecting plastic, metal, and cardboard. Whenever campus events are held students are asked to B.Y.O.B. "Bring Your Own Bottle", to reduce the cost of buying cups and having to wash them.

There is a great music program at UNT, especially jazz. Norah Jones and Meatloaf both attended UNT before going on to become superstars and many alumni have won Grammys with the jazz bands.
