I wouldn't say that there is an uncontrollable amount of drug use at UNT, but there have been instances. My advice, don't be one of these of students, it's a fast way out of here!

Directed to those reading this--I can only see the cost of tuition going higher as more HS grads. realize how good a school this is.

THIS PLACE SUCKS GO SOME WHERE ELSE WHIlE YOU STILL CAN!!!

Greek Life is the best. There is always something going on and i always run into people i know everywhere that i go. I would not have near as many friends if it wasnt for going greek.

Activities, well this year George W. Bush and Jeff Corwin (the animal planet guy) came to talk. Jeff Corwin was amazing and super intelligent and his sense of humor was just awesome. Anyways... UNT does have theater, and I've even seen the student actors practicing on an early Sunday morning sword fighting. I've never seen a play, I would, but they don't really make an effort to get the word out about it. Music concerts, a must go to of course. No excuses, find out when they are and go. Friends here? Well I met most of my on campus friends from Chinese class and my major, which, most kids taking Chinese are in my major... So we're a pretty close group which makes life here fun. And I'm pretty sure it's the same for other majors as well, especially music, ESPECIALLY MUSIC, but the same for most artsy degrees as well. The physics/biology majors here are also very tight-nit as far as I can tell. (And the science buildings are new, awesome huh?) Frats/Soroties, there's a few them, they have their own row of houses and are even building a new house for some new frat. They're a small-decent size on campus, not anywhere near as big as other schools such as UT or A&M, not really a frat school. But if you're into frats, you can expect to have your frat/sorority experience just as well here so no worries. :)

UNT has a ton of sororities, fraternities, honor societies, social clubs, athletics...the list could go on forever. I personally love playing intramural sports, it keeps my busy year round. I met my closest friends by living in the dorms. My best friends now are people I met either my freshman year or by being an RA in the years after. It's great, I love meeting people! Homecoming is a huge tradition each year. There is an event called Yell Like Hell that dorms or other groups on campus participate in. They create a dance or skit and perform it on a night before homecoming when we have our annual bonfire. The ultimate goal is the Eagle Claw award, that goes to the best all-around dorm. People party pretty often. It's not necessarily a bad thing as long as you keep up with your work during the week!!! Last weekend I hung out with some friends and had a girl's night! I ended up going home for a day, too. I find that since I've moved out of the house and come to college, I've become even closer with my family!!! I love them but I guess it's easier to live away from them!

Housing is the most popular group on campus in my life. UNT housing is responsible for 6,000 students, more than any other groups/ organization/ clubs/ and teams. I am involved in the SWSA, RLAC, RHA, National Resident Hall Honorary, Sigma Phi, Gerontologic Student Association. For the most part, students do not leave their doors open, unless it is hot in their room. My favorite thing to do on a Saturday nigth is to go to the Denton square and hang out, eat some pizza and ice cream. Yum!

The business fraternity is the one of the most popular organizations on campus...oh, and Student Government Association.

Sororities and Fraternities are pretty popular, but it's not a cult like it is at other schools. People join to make friends but they don't shut themselves out of other social circles and they don't shut anyone else out. I'm in no way associated with the Greek system yet I have been invited to several frat parties. My friends are very into studying and having fun. We study when we need to, yet we love to go shopping, go the movies or go out to eat. A lot of my friends go to Fry street a lot and drink or go to bars in Dallas. My closest friends are actually from my job. We all work at a restaurant in Lewisville, yet many live in Denton and go to UNT. We carpool together for the commute. If I'm awake at 2am on a tuesday it's probably because I'm either studying for a test, on the phone with my boyfriend or watching television. Each year the square in Denton has a lot of events going on. I know that Dog Day in Denton is every June or something. The Homecoming parade and bonfire happen every year and so does the Fry Street Fair. People party a fair amount. Apartment and house parties are the most frequent but usually they aren't too crazy. Wine-tasting and dinner parties are becoming more popular among students. On a Saturday night if you don't want to drink, you can do a lot. The square in Denton has coffee shops and Beth-Marie's Homemade Ice Cream Parlor is opened till 11. It's a fun hangout spot. Also, Loop 288 has a ton of shopping and restaurants and there is a Cinemark and mall. Lewisville is only 15 minutes down the highway and there is a Main Event and even more restaurants. Dallas and Forth Worth are only 30 minutes away and there are tons of things to do there.

Some professors make an attempt to know your name, but I had luck with this bc I was an honors student. My favorite class was Philosphy of Food. My least favorite class is Psyc Experimental Methods because the teacher DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO MAKE THE CLASS INTERESTING. Students can be competetive. Class participation is not very common. I hated that I was required to take classes like Math and so much spanish when I felt it was irrelevant to my major.

EVERY THIng I WOULD CHANGE!!! this place is nothing more than a place for parents to waste money. all they do here is take your money every chance they get... every year they want more, and they never deliver. this place sucks... at this point i know your wondering well if its as bad as you say it is why are you still there? well the answer to that is this is the first university in the nation to offer a degree in my field thus they have the most exp teaching it and are the highest qualified. thats it ... thats the only reason why im still going to this place.

The business fraternity is the one of the most popular organizations on campus...oh, and Student Government Association.

The school fails in attracting any guest speakers worth mentioning. Campus facilities are crudely furnished unless there is a signifigant fundraiser. A secure perimeter of bars and pubs around the campus furnish all your boozing pleasures.

UNT's student body, again, VERY diverse. Every type of person you can think of can be found here, not kidding. It's hard to stereotype the student body of UNT, actually, almost impossible if you were to take a walk around campus.

I do not think that everyone is a music major, in fact, I only know a few who are.

Somewhat diverse. Most people are from North Texas

UNT is very diverse and i love it. I dont think anyone feels out of place UNT is a pretty laid back campus that everyone can get comfortable with.

uhhhh first hand... yes they are.

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.
