University of North Texas Top Questions

Apathy. Most everyone who goes here compromised. Few of the students are actually willing to work or try for their education, but rather just do the minimum to get the grade. The social scene sucks unless you like drinking coffee or beer. Pick your poison, but know that its all over priced. The hipster scene is rampent. Nothing is done un-ironically, and men in shorts are at an all time high this winter. While you get what you take from a college, you have to put a lot more effort in to UNT. Overall, not worth the money.

The worst thing about the school I would say is that lately seems to fallow schools like UT or Texas A&M instead of keeping its own spirit.

Not every student is school spirited. I wish there was more school spirit and devotion to North Texas, even if the football team isn't the best.

That it is in Texas and Texas states that in order to graduate from any institution in Texas you must take two classes on Texas politics and history.

The worst this about my school is that theirs only one dining hall to eat during the night. There's usually a long line and the wait is sometimes an hour or more.

It is a commuter school therefore during the weekends it was dead. It was really hard to get people active because they would not commit entirely to anything. They were there for their classes and that was pretty much it.

The worst thing about my school is the football team. They try so hard to win but we are lucky if we win one game a season. No one knows who we are because they have never heard of us because our sports programs are so bad. I wish we could get more recognition through our programs that are good.

I wish it was in a bigger city.

It's so far more north of the metroplex.

Big, impersonal, closed-minded students

Little parking, campus security gives out too many tickets when there are no parking spots

There is nothing that I have found to be discouraging about the university , the campus, staff or students.

One of the worst things about my school is the size. There are over 35,000 students and it is difficult to make strong friendships because there is rarely someone in at least two of my classes. The people I see each day are different, which is good because there is diversity, but it is hard to start and maintain a friendship if you rarely see the same people.

The worst thing about my school is the condition of some of the dorms. The undergraduate dorms are rundown and overpriced. I live in an all girls dorm and the walls have holes from the previous tenants, the doors are old, and the bathrooms have rust in the showers as well as in the stalls for the toilets.

There is not a large outdoor focus and drinking is too highly valued. Outside of parties, there's not much to do within the city.

Some of the professors have very thick accents so it is extremely hard to stay forused and motivated in the class but that can be an issue at any university.

The worst thing about UNT would have to be the student population. It can be challenging to make connections with professors and faculty members on a personal basis. However, it is possible to overcome this. Sit in front of the classroom, ask questions, participate! Show yourself as interested in the class subject, and you'll stand out.

The only bad thing about the University is that it is overcrowded, there are too many people and not enough teachers, parking spaces, computers, and places to eat. The parking is ghastly overpriced, and it's easier to walk everywhere. Although this is a small price to pay for the low cost and good services of the school.

The core courses are often not made worth while other than recieving necessary credit--I feel like I could better serve my time doing better in my major courses.

there are some bad teachers

The worst thing would be that the music building (where they practice outside) is right beside the main library. You can most surely hear people doing scales and rpacticing music at any given time during the day. It can be very distracting, no matter if they are good or terrible.

Since I'm fairly new to my school, I haven't run into anything negative. There are great people and wonderful professors. On the other hand, if I had to choose anything, I would say the worst thing about my school is, as mundane as it sounds, its physicalities. From the outside, my school looks a bit unappealing and worn. It has definitely seen better days. I remember saying, "Wow, the community college I went to looked better!" Then again, the campus is older than I am and is rather impressive in all its historical glory.

The worst thing about my school is a lack of fervor and zeal in the students. There is an apathtic atmosphere that is not typical of a college campus.

The pricing of the dorms is slightly ridiculous and high. Start saving up now. The dorms are still nice, though.

The worst thing about the University of North Texas is that there is no program available for undergraduate students to help them prepare themselves for graduate school . While there is a program that can help undergraduates apply for competitive scholarships, there is no program to assist undergraduates in the application process, the expectations of graduate school, or the financial needs of graduate school. It is a difficult, frustrating, and daunting process and there is no organization on campus to assist in these decisions.

Class avalibility.

The parking lots, they sell three parking passes per parking spot which makes it almost impossible to ever find a parking spot. Also I think someof the buildings could be updated and more handicap friendly, I broke my foot and for some of my classes I couldnt get to the class room because they didn't have ramps or an elevator.

The worst thing about my school is parking, because there are just so many students. UNT's student population has continuously grown, while UNT's property available for parking has not.

I am an online student. My online class experience has been superb. I have attended one on-campus class. During the course of that on-campus class, I had two professors and one teacher assistant for one class. That was very frustrating. From that experience, I think that the university should focus more on the learning experiences of its freshman and sophomore courses.

The University of North Texas, because it is so centrally located in regards to large towns such as Dallas, Fort Worth , and other cities, it is heavy commuter school. Yes, there are many organizations, activities, and people to talk to and do things with, the weekends tend to be very boring and dull. To cope with this aspect of campus life at UNT, it would be wise to find some close friends that you can occupy your time with on the weekends!

I believe the worst thing about my school is the size of core classes. There are a lot of people in classes that we must pass in order to graduate on time and it makes it mor challenging to concentrate when there are so many people around you.

The worst thing about my school would have to be parking. There is never enough parking spaces for those who commute or those who live on campus. It is always a chance if you leave to get a good spot when you get back.

You feel like just a number there. Nobody cares whether you succeed in your classes or not. All they care about is whether you've paid your tuition or not.

The worst thing about my school is the lack of night classes. Since i work 2:30 - 6:30 if i can't find the class i need in the morning i can't take my class that semester.

The financial aid office. They say they are there to help but when you go to get help they do not want to help you.

The worst thing about my school is that there isn't enough financial aid being given to students because the financial aid department determines if a student is eligible based on incom on your tax return. The problem is they assume the studen't parents can afford the tuition when they really can't so the student has to apply for scholarships and other resources to pay for college.

I think that the worst thing about my school is the financial aid that is available. There is no one here that has really helped me or has wanted to help me. I pretty much have just looked online for all the things I need to find out. Other than that the school is great and the teachers are really helpful. Everyone here is really nice too.

Well, there's not much security in most dorms, I feel that the issue should be improved.

The worst thing is probably the city it's in, the town is very boring and there isn't much to do, the closest big cities are around 30 to 40 minutes away.

The lack of support for athletics. Many people don't come out to the football games because the team was struggling. In truth the only way for that to change is if the coaching staff can improve the program in the coming years.

it is a commuter school

In my opinion the worst thing about m school is the lack of campus activities and spirtit. There does not seem to be much emphasis on getting students involved with campus activites or groups. There are fraternities and sorieties; they claim that there are other groups as well but it is hard to find them and if you do, it is hard to get involved in them.

The one thing I dislike at my school is its false hopes for our consistently underachieving football team. Last year, UNT students were asked to vote on a new stadium for their use, although the one we already have is perfectly fine. It was a close vote, but the majority voted yes and now UNT has instated a new tuition increase beginning in Fall 2011 to help pay for it, as well as taking money from other programs. As a school that prides itself on going green, I doubt they're talking about helping the environment.

like any other school: bureaucratic run-around in regards to fulfilling requirements, meeting dead-lines, etc.

Physical locattion- it floods

the variety of food choices in the union is not that great; there is a routine selection of food...and it never changes!

The worst thing about my school is that with so many college students in one area, it can be sometimes difficult to find a job in this small town.

The worst thing about my school is the pressure to do well and the stress that comes with time management.

The worst thing about our school i s our athletics. DO NOT COME HERE if you are looking for a spirited school. We're more artsy here.

A lot of people commute to UNT so it is more difficult to make friends than it would be at some other schools. Also it is harder to form a study group when people live all over.
