Edwin

The ideal person who is likely to attend The University of Texas at Dallas is highly motivated, goal driven, and committed to academic excellence.

Nicholas

UT Dallas provides the best harbor to the slightly introverted natural sciences/engineering student who enjoys learning either on their own or in a small study group. Academics are heavily geared towards engineering as well as math and science. Classes are generally about 40-50 students which allows each student to ask a couple questions without holding up class. Following each wave of midterms, the social life revolves around intramural sports as well as hanging out at the Student Union with its pool and ping pong tables.

Sarah

This school has very good science and engineering programs, and tuition costs are not overly expensive yet, so if you're heading into anything related to those programs, it would definitely be a good choice.

Alex

Nerdy, geeky, poor social skills

Becky

The typical "popular crowd" isn't the "in crowd." Anyone who is confidant enough to display their quirky, nerdy, or unnusual side will fit in here. The typical student at UTD is laid back, enjoys a serious study environment, open to other cultures, leaning toward the nerdy side, and content with a lifeless campus life.

James

I believe anyone who wants to attend should be allowed to attend if they have the neccesary qualifications. Entry should not be easier to get into college, but financial aid, or financial assistance should be much more accessible. I believe that if you are willing to put in the work, then you deserve to be in school.

Chelsea

Anyone who is really interested in their feild of study. UT Dallas is a very intense school and it's courseload isn't easy. If you really want to know the material and you aren't here just to get a degree, you will succeed.

Jessica

The ideal student for this school is very science-oriented, has a strong commitment to their academic careers, and wishes to engage in ground-breaking research while they are still an undergraduate. The campus does not attempt to hide it's devotion to science fields. If you are intending on pursuing a liberal arts degree, I highly advise you to look somewhere else. That being said, the instruction is fantastic, the classes are always relatively small, and the amount of education you receive for your dollar is phenomenal. My attendance made a significant difference in my life.
