The best thing about UNT is the diversity. We have a crap ton of international students which being an international studies major I would automatically be biased to love. But besides the foreign students UNT offers every subgroup and click of people imaginable. From your typical party greeks to the funky hipsters to your super intelligent nerdy kid to the social outcast.
UNT for me is too small, but I tend to like big things, no homo... (Speaking of, if you're homosexual, we have many gay oriented groups and are known for a great acceptance of the gay community, and to be honest, no one cares if you're gay here. Seriously.)
But most people say UNT is just the right size, but I love everything to constantly be busy and full of hustle and bustle, and with being a commuter school, that isn't always the case. But UNT is growing and so is the turn away from being a commuter school. More and more people are living on campus and it's gaining more prestige academically so it's bound to attract people who live further away.
I spend most of my time at UNT in the cafeteria because I need to eat to survive. But I also spend a great deal at the gym, which everyone loves going to the gym here just about because it's brand new, big, nice and busy. There's TVs on every treadmill, ladders, etc, every walking/running machine so you can be lazy and watch TV while burning calories. What's better than that? It defiantly has the nicest gym of ANY university I've ever toured (all of them). Also, if you're an incoming freshman, stay in Kerr Hall, it's the biggest, loudest, funnest dorm at UNT. If you're the antisocial type, go to traditions. If you're an upper class man and need quiet study time, go to Legends.
UNT is a college town, it's very college friendly and you see a lot of college kids everywhere, but it also feels just like living in your average suburb, yet a little bit trashier... It's not big on school spirit, which everyone wishes there was more of, but we don't have any school teams to really be proud of at this moment besides a decent girls soccer team.
BUUUT we did build a pretty awesome new football stadium, got a new "okay" coach, no one special, but an improvement and picked up some somewhat better talent. So everyone is hoping that will turn our football program around. As for basketball, a bit better than our football team, last year they made it to the big NCAA tournament, and lost. But again, we recently picked up some all-star and great local players to improve our team for next year and hopefully in 2 years the program will be GOOD- GOOD not just decent.
