UNT Information

UNT History

The University of North Texas was founded by Joshua Chilton in 1890. Originally called Texas Normal College and Teacher Training Institute, the name was changed six times (once accidentally when the wording in the Texas law allowing the school to offer teaching certificates called it “North Texas Normal College”) until 1988, when the current title was adopted. At the school’s founding, teacher education and business classes were held above a hardware store in Denton, and by the next year the first official campus building was constructed, hosting a class of 185 students. Over the next century the school evolved, expanding its undergraduate academic offerings, adding graduate education, and implementing sports programs.

More about UNT

UNT Dorms

There are 13 residence halls to house the 7,000 or so students who choose to live on campus. The traditional-style coed dorms are reserved for freshmen, have standard double rooms, and can be a bit dingy, but the newer apartment-style dorms that typically hold upperclassmen provide more privacy and chic amenities. Residence halls take on their own personalities, and labels like “music dorm,” “jock dorm,” or “artsy dorm” are not uncommon; accordingly, some students get a sense that residents tend to segregate themselves by residence hall. Applying early will increase your chances of getting the swankier (and hopefully air-conditioned) rooms.
