UTD was a great school to be able to go to! While a lot better than the colleges nearby, UTD does not have a campus life, every person going to this school is motivated, dedicated and focused on obtaining their degree with high marks. It can make it feel like your life is very much just going to class and coming home but I think that a big part of that is also affected by the orgs you join and the people you surround yourself with. As much as it was hard to adjust to, I wouldn't trade my experience here for any other Uni!

My time at the University of Texas at Dallas has been truly memorable and impactful. The campus is always buzzing with activities, from student organizations hosting events to spontaneous gatherings at the Student Union. I find a sense of community among students from all walks of life, which made the campus feel like a second home. The facilities are top-notch, especially the library and the gym, which I frequent often. Being in the Dallas-Fort Worth area also means there are plenty of opportunities for internships and fun weekend outings. I balance my studies with these experiences, making lifelong friends and I am learning so much about myself along the way. Overall, UT Dallas is a place of growth, excitement, and unforgettable memories.

University of Texas at Dallas is a great university to be accepted to. It is a safe campus, especially at night. They have good support and job listings, as well speakers every week that can help you connect based on your career of interest!
They have different scholarships such as Comet Promise and Phi Theta Kappa which I’ve both received.
I would recommend the University of Texas at Dallas as it can be rewarding.
