At UNT we have a great student teacher ratio. Freshman classes are always a bit bigger than upper level and major specific classes. Nevertheless all the big classes I've been in still have a lot of class participation. I loved my social science classes like psychology and philosophy, they really challenged in a fun and interesting way. Math has never been a strong point for me but even with my struggles I learned a lot and had a great time doing so, both my Algebra and Statistics professors helped me outside of class time and helped make sure I understood the material. I took several upper level (Junior and Senior level) courses and had a great time, the challenge was nice and the professors helpful. Because of our diversity there is always great conversation going on in class, around campus and even off campus when your just hanging out with friends. Are we a competitive school? we have a program at UNT called TAMS, the Texas Academy of Math a Science, it basically allows high school students to attend and live at North Texas, its tough having high school students compete with you for that 4.0 but it makes you strive for perfection. I took and African Music and Movement class this year, it helped open my eyes to a different style of dance and a whole new culture, we performed at several schools, festivals and even for classes and concerts here at UNT. The College of Arts and Sciences hosts my department, psychology; its one of the largest colleges on campus and toughest departments. Our Psych professors are tough but fair, I've learned so much from the men and women that make up the department and am glad to be studying with and under them. I have no doubt that everything I am learning will prepare me for an outstanding career in Psychology.
