University of North Texas

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.

My experience was great! Just seeing so many young people attending that university made me feel good. My grandson is attending here for the first time and he really likes it!!

Most of the professors want to set up the students for success. Choose Kerr Hall as residence only if you’re a freshman, once you enter sophomore year you will understand why. If you choose Kerr, keep expensive items locked in a briefcase, as the bathroom is shared and your roommates can have access to your room. Traditions is better, but the rooms are smaller.

Wonderful University that's very underrated. I know many graduated from here who are successful in life. We just moved more family here into the dorms happily.

It's a great place to chill after classes, you can just sit in the library and listen to some music or watch some shows (with headphones) and the environment all around the campus, it's great!

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

Awful college with an awful campus. Streets flood regularly and you can't get to class. Professors treat their classes like they're in high school. Don't waste your money here.

The epitome of the fall of "higher learning institutions" in the modern day. I am a proud, 2-time dropout of this God-forsaken, trash campus and it is truly a trash "institution", if you can even call it that. Very much an 'over-sized community college' but WAY worse because at least community colleges are affordable and DON'T waste your valuable, limited time on this green Earth. Parking is next to nonexistent, unless you're rich. Their "Acceptance Rate" is now at 80%. When I went, both times, it was just barely above 70%. Says a lot. It's been like this and it's only gotten worse. They definitely do extort you for all that you're worth, before you struggle your whole life under their mountain of debt, of course. Could not EVER park without getting fined THREE times. Me and my Mom had to fight with them CONSTANTLY on issues that were clearly their own doing, such as the rampant acceptance + their own parking spots having faded out, thus resulting in me and other students parking "incorrectly" at times. You can BARELY see the markings, it's insane how they refused to re-paint their stuff for YEARS!! I think only NOW they finally "fixed" it. Too late. And some parking staff were pretty rude, combative, back-talked me and refused to give any refunds or even see my point of view on the matter. I literally took pictures and it was clear as day the marks were faded as ALL get-out, come on give me a break. Also, we are not paying several thousands, and even tens of thousands, for basic textbooks and classes I already took, and EXCELLED at, back in high school—with just having to pay the standard, mandatory taxes my parents had to pay and contribute for me to be enrolled in. UNT absolutely squeezes every last cent out of you before the student loans kick in, that is for certain. Might be anywhere from $44,000-88,000 "total" in "tuition", but none of you factor in the insane, asinine and infuriating "fees", "fines" and "additional expenses" we're also forced to pay, whether you're a citizen or int student. I'm sorry, but most of us aren't billionaires, or even millionaires at that. Most of us also have jobs to be at, so I don't appreciate the Professors who force us to be in class on weekends or on days where our work schedules conflict. Do you even remember how school was like for you or are you just that privileged and rich to even fathom such a reality? Terrible roads they never fix, maaany of their buildings LEAK, have EXPOSED WIRING and are dirty, stink and rotten beyond all that is good and holy. Even more rude and overly aggressive and trashy staff, kicking me out of a meeting room at the Union during my lunch break. The door was unlocked, so I thought I could use it temporarily to get away from the crowds as I'm extremely socially anxious and generally hate crowds, and from sitting on the floors since the chairs are always completely taken because again: the *rampant acceptance rates.* But yes, sorry, I didn't know I'm not allowed to be in there, but why do you have be so angry, loud and demeaning towards me for that? It was a young Black woman, at that. Appalling behavior and should be re-trained and reprimanded, forthwith. 1 weird English Professor who yelled at students for no reason and never could answer any of our questions in a satisfactory way whatsoever, completely useless. I did love MOST of the other Students + Professors, however. Dr. Cheney is the BEST and deserves SO MUCH MORE! Anyways, 2 stars is HIGHLY generous here, but above all, I just simply thank the Lord every day I dropped out for the 2nd and final time. Never coming back, that is for sure. Goodbye and good riddance. It is 2025 and I am doing better than I ever have before without a degree and I could not be more at peace with myself. Learn a trade(s), go to community college or just teach yourself at this point. None of this is worth even a morsel of your time, money and effort these days. Sad, but true. Those who deny these truths are living in an alternate reality from the rest of us. Must be nice to be rich.

This is a beautiful campus! In fact, the town is very nice and the the people we've interacted with so far, have been very friendly...

The only thing I got out of UNT was a bunch of student debt and a piece of paper. Politics were taught far more in classes than anything useful for my major or the general working environment. Terrible school, terrible city, and an overall negative experience.
