University of North Texas Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Jessie

It's okay if you can not make A's on all of your assignments. Not having a 4.0 GPA isn't the worst thing that can happen. Strive to learn as much as you can, but take care of yourself mentally and physically first.

Taylor

Before I started attending The University of North Texas, I wish I would have taken dual credit classes in high school, taken spanish, and applied for multiple scholarships.

Brody

I wish I had known to get plugged in sooner in organizations or clubs. I found myself rather lonely in the beginning of the semester.

da

That the programs are more than four years. Most of the majors require at least five not including summer classes. I originally came in for the film program and if I stuck with it, I would have been in it for a total of seven years. It's not even because my grades were bad. It's due to the fact of limited space, weird scheduling, and professors' biases. Either way, I found a major I like and I'm going to stick with it.

Sieun

I wish I had known UNT has not only an excellent music program but also great programs for other majros, such as journalism or broadcast media. Many of the students have liberal opinions and new incoming freshmen can fit into the school very well. If I had known these facts earlier, I would have definately put UNT as top of my college list when I was in high school.

Raven

Once attending this college, it took me a little longer to gain a social life. Before attending UNT, I wish I had of known of all the social groups offered before school began.

Genesis

Something that I wish I had known before I came to this school is that college is not as scary as high school makes it seem. The classes, the size of the school, and even the size of the classes do not matter, you will learn what you came to learn. Even though the school may seem large, you will adapt quickly and find your way around campus easily.

Gabrielle

Engineering school is separate from the rest of campus.

Daniela

Taking dual-credit classes were going to be a big help, sometimes even more so than AP classes.

Ferryn

I wish that I had known that I was able to work a part-time job and go to school full-time. Also that time management is very key in achieving success in school. I wish that I would have known that if I had worked part-time that I would have some revenue to well pay for tution when my financial aid all through for this year. I also wish I would have known a better schedule layout so that I could have taken cared of my core classes a lot earlier.

Kadey

I wish I would have been more aware of the price of classes, as it seems they are continuing to grow.

Zena

I wish i would hae known that after Srping 2014 students can no lonegr be enrolled as undecided

Dylan

I wish I had known the layout more, and such information was within my reach, so it is only a shortcoming of myself.

Hailey

This school is really great, the only thing I wish I knew more about was Student Organizations. The school always boasts about having SO many ogranizations, but you don't really get a feel for them on the online website. They need to have a student organization fair day or something. That would make things better.

Barbara

I wish I had known how much discipline is required to take on a full time schedule at a University like this one, I welcome the challenge and enjoy the hard work.

Katie

What a great city Denton is.

jared

I wish someone would have given me a to do list. There's so much stuff i don't know and am stressing about. My lack of preparedness is why i have to take out a student loan for the first year.

Tina

I wish I would of known before hand how great the school is about making sure incoming students are informed and assited about the school and all it has to offer.

Jessica

I wish I had known how different life would be after college. When you're used to constantly being on a schedule, working every day, seeing your friends everyday, you begin to get in a habit that acts as a safety rope. One day that rope won't be there and I wish I had realized that sooner.

Sadie

I wish I knew what I really wanted to major in instead of just coming here with a small idea. Also, I wish I had known that it helps to have a car to get a job.
