My school is known for the intramural traditions of Oozeball and the Bed Races that all lead to our big Homecoming Bash and Parade. Oozeball is the best to play in the summer because its really hot outside and what better way to cool down than to play volleyball in the mud. Our other tradition is the Bed Races which basically states what we do. Since we don't have a football team, we have a team of five people, race a bed down the football field.

Most people do not think of UTA as a school of oppurtunity. They hear UTA and think, "oh that is a blow off." I know this because I used to be one of those people.

Now that I go to UTA, I realize that UTA and its staff is best known for the oppurtunites that they provide for any student that wishes to suceed.
