University of North Texas Top Questions

As a commuter, the transport infrastructure around the campus really bothers me. There are constructions going on everywhere, and there are so many uneven roads. It's like a driver has to pay attention at all times or you'll accidently run over a big bump. I really hate driving to school under this condition.

I find ways around taking my car home so I don't have to give up my parking spot because I know that when I come back the only parking will be at TWU. There's not enough parking for the number of people with cars here. This is a big-ass school with a lot of people and a lot of cars. We need more parking lots.

The worst thing about my school would have to be the parking. We do not have enough parking lots for the amout of people who commute, we are a commuter school. UNT sells way more permits than we have parking spots and it is a horrible task if you are running late to find a parking spot that matches your permit.

The wost thing about UNT has to be the parking. There are over 36,000 students on campus, and most of them live off campus. Many times students have to drive for almost an hour to find a parking spot, and almost always it will be extremely far from where their class is. UNT tried to solve this issue by placing a garage on the edge of campus, and it's expensive, so many people resort to parking at local stores to save money. I fee as though becasue UNT is so large, it's just really difficult to park.

UNt doesn't have a science program that stands out in any way.

Because it is such a large school, it is really hard to get to know people. Everyone is so diverse that it is very hard to relate with other people who think and like the same things as you do. A lot of people are very shy and or don't wish to be bothered.

I feel like my school doesn't have the best financial manager incharge of their budget. I personally like new student centers and stadiums as the next guy. Although, if we don't have the budget for it I rather we not built it. I mean you're taking it from our tuition money and we won't be able to use these buildings. Plus, we voted against this move, I personally feel like our voices as students was not heard in this issue.

I hate that the city where my school is located in gets a bad rap. It's just the right mix of everything, and bigger cities are really close too!

PARKING. There is not enough parking in the dorm lots for the residents. Also, the general parking lot and parking garage are too far from the buildings that I need to go to. Which are usually music buildings.

Nothing!

University of North Texas is an excellent school, however, my biggest complaint is the poor use of tuition money. UNT makes millions of dollars every year from tuition money alone; however, many well-deserving programs are severely lacking in funding. As well, a large amount of tuition money is used on construction and landscaping for the campus. Many old, beautiful trees are torn down for campus expansion during construction, and then are replaced with miniscule trees in comparison- or no trees at all. For an "earth-friendly" campus, UNT sure does spend a lot of money cutting down trees annualy.

The worst thing about The University of North Texas is its weather. In the middle of Texas, the weather can change between tank top and trench coat weather in a matter of hours. For someone who has to walk everywhere, it can be mildly inconvieniant.

My only complaint lies in the lack of adequate parking. Almost 40,000 students attended UNT last year. More parking spaces is a necessity.

It does seem overly liberal. Very supportive of things I don't believe in, such as gay marriage.

I believe that many of the departments do not communicate with each other, which can cause great confusion for students. In several cases students have taken unnecessary classes under the impression they were required. Often due dates and opprtunities are missed due to lack of communication between departments who in turn give out wrong information to students.

I guess the worst thing about my school is the location. There isn't much to do in the area unless you have a car and even then there isn't too much. And because there isn't much a lot of places can get away with charging students a ton of money that most of us don't really have. And our food options are rather limited when it comes to late dinners. Especially on the weekends.

I'm in the College of Music at the University of North Texas (UNT). I have been accepted among so many extremely talented students, that I have to compete for positions in the ensembles. For example, I had to audition and compete for three different percussion ensembles so far in my freshman year. Many students were turned down and had to find other ensembles to audition for. I'm still trying to get into the Jazz Percussion program at UNT. I have audition twice and have been turned away. I'm planning to audition again in a few weeks.

The worst thing about UNT is the constant construction on campus. It seems like roads/buildings are always being updated and built, when the money could be better spent on academics. UNT continually updates buildings that are in relatively good condition, and I'd rather my tuition money be spent furthering my learning rather than updating buildings for the sake of being technologically forward.

The parking at my school is not very good.

I find little to be poor about my school. I am not saying that it is perfect, but only, based on my interactions with the university, that I find little to complain about, and if I were to find something that I did not care for, that would likely only be a personal preference, and one that I ought ignore for beauty is in everything, and I should only find such. Otherwise is weakness.
