University of North Texas

Back during Covid, normal Tuesday/Thursday classes were limited to once a week. So naturally I happened to sign up for 2 classes at 10:00am on each of those days. My professor for the Tuesday class then unilaterally decided to make her class back into a Tuesday/Thursday class by making attendance mandatory remotely on Thursday- initially this was presented as an optional, as the material had to do with court cases, and much of the discussion somewhat organic, and could be beneficial. This obviously created a conflict in my schedule - the kicker is that I was not made aware of this until after the sign up deadline had passed. Now being forced to drop the class, and unable to sign up for a replacement, I lost my grant requiring full time attendance for both this and every semester afterwords. So now, even years later I have a wonderful student loan that was completely avoidable if anyone at the university had communicated, or just enforced the class descriptions provided by the university.

When discussing the academic soul of North Texas, the University of North Texas in Denton consistently earns high praise in my social circles for its remarkable ability to blend world-class creative artistry with serious research prowess. From what I’ve gathered through frequent dialogues with local professionals and former students, the campus on Union Circle radiates a distinct energy where innovation in the arts is treated with the same intellectual rigor as breakthroughs in logistics or engineering. Many of my acquaintances who have walked those halls often speak of a "Mean Green" community that is uniquely inclusive, fostering an environment where students feel empowered to take bold risks with their career paths. It is heartening to hear firsthand accounts of how the university's faculty bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, ensuring that graduates are not just educated, but truly industry-ready. Based on the positive testimonials of friends who have thrived there, the institution manages to maintain a respectful, down-to-earth culture while steadily ascending the ranks of national tier-one research universities. One can't help but be impressed by how many people I trust credit UNT’s collaborative atmosphere for their professional confidence and lifelong networking connections. Ultimately, the consensus among those who know the institution best is that it remains a vibrant, indispensable hub of talent that genuinely celebrates the diverse aspirations of its student body.

Terrible experience with UNT admissions. I hand-delivered my physical transcripts, and they still managed to lose them and waste weeks of my time. The front-counter staff, including the student workers, were unresponsive and seemed uninterested in doing their jobs. Communication was slow, inaccurate, or nonexistent. The entire office feels disorganized and poorly managed. I withdrew my application and will be attending a school that treats students with basic professionalism. Value your time and dignity — don’t beg to be at a university that can’t even manage its own paperwork. Look elsewhere. You and your time are worth far more than what this mediocre university can offer.

I was a Junior level returning student Spring 2025 and barred from signing up for classes until 2 days before classes started. I was already accepted into the Engineering program, but no surprise - there were no classes available by the time I was able to register. UNT lacks academic support. I am much happier at Texas Tech now. Unfortunately, my husband is stuck at UNT and still dealing with their poorly managed advising office. Registration is a mess. I originally transferred to UNT from Texas State and comparing the two, along with Texas Tech - UNT by FAR is the worst school I’ve attended.

I debated between 4 stars and five stars because the college itself is great, but every road around it is completely torn up and destroyed, construction everywhere, roads closed, potholes, and almost suspension destroying roadways galore. But- I love the campus, buildings themselves, and several current and former students.

I completed my MS in Data Analytics at the University of North Texas in 2024, and it was a valuable experience. The program offered a solid balance of theory and practical application, with coursework that covered key areas like data mining, machine learning, and business intelligence. Faculty were knowledgeable and approachable, and the resources available—like career services and research opportunities—really supported my growth. I left the program feeling well-prepared for the industry and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to advance their career in data analytics.

Lovely university with beautiful landscape. I really enjoyed the water fountain in front of the library! Reminds me of the National Mall in Washington DC. The campus feels very student friendly. And there are lots of good restaurants around in Denton that are frequented by students. Denton is also known as a live music bar city with lots of home-brewed beer. I bet the students take full advantage of that! LOL
