University of North Texas at Dallas

Exceptional school. Hard-working intelligent students work with professor towards their common goal of student success. UNT Dallas is also very involved in the south Dallas and surrounding communities.

So many issues with this university; from financial aid to registration was a headache and felt like pulling teeth just to get things going for registration and financial aid. No one answers their phone despite calling throughout the day, emails are a hit or miss as well. Campus doesn’t really have much to offer which is understandable at first (cheaper tuition) but it looks so barren and little to no activities to do on campus. Maybe it’s because it’s still growing whatever the case it’s a major downgrade from UTA. It’s affordable, but not worth the inconvenience when you are trying to get important information submitted especially financial aid. This university is a joke! If affordability is your main concern I would choose this institution as a last resort. Too stressful!

The tuition is dirt cheap, but UNTD is every student's worst nightmare. This school sucks. They're always late responding to your emails if you need help with something. They NEVER answer the phones no matter what time you call. Today (Friday) I tried calling the registrar's office over 6 times, within 2 hours and nobody answered the phone. They have the most incompetent students and staff working in these offices. Who are always screwing up student's information, registration, financial aid info, etc. The staff lazy, they'll literally ask to you resend documents over and over again instead of doing they're jobs first and checking to see if you already have that form on file. This school has been the worst college experience for me. I was considering going for my master's at UNTD since it's relatively cheap. However, I've reconsidered due to how much drama I have to go throw with these people on a regular basis in the past 3 years. They literally just want your money and they don't care about anything else you have to deal with. I've written the dean so many emails describing the things I've went through and never recieved a response back. If you want my HONEST advice/opinion keep looking!! DO NOT settle for UNTD just because they're a little less costly. Consider all your options! Check out UTA in arlington!!!

Financial Aid is awful. In order to get a response from them, you either have to see them in person or speak to the Dean. The website and blackboard works maybe 3 out of 5 times which is inconvenient, especially when assignments need to be turned in. The school and professors itself are great. Community is fantastic and the events that are hosted are always fun, Cafeteria is meh... could improve the salad bar or incorporate more healthy choices and UPDATE the posted hours! Please! The actual operating hours do not match what is posted on the website or on the doors to the cafe!

I turned in my transcripts to attend in the fall over 3 months ago. They just now processed it after I called 5 times and now I can't get into orientation because they took so long. They say they are here to help but I am more stressed than ever. Update: 11/07/17 They want me to attend a 3rd orientation and they took so long to contact me. This school is so stressful. They are a new school and don't know what they are doing.

When you need something regarding financial aid or advisors, don't expect an answer . You have to go to campus to get attended 40 minute drive for something that could have been done over the phone .Transfer took 3 months , they lost my scholarship letters . On top of that they did not offer alot of classes so if you need 5 classes for a scholarship good luck! If you don't register on time you pretty much are in trouble. Online classes are great! Their classes are offered by the year so if you need to take a class before you can take another one and their full. You will have to wait untill next year to take it. Just bad.

I did my first two years at SFA and then did my last two years here when it was still apart of UNT Denton and you could do classes through both. I really like this school, because it was cheaper then most and I had great professors. If your fresh out of high school and looking for that party college life then this is not it. This school is smaller and much more intimate. I lived the party life at SFA, and I wasn't doing good at all with my grades. Once coming here I was more mature and I blossomed into A honor roll student. I was on the dean and presidents list. If your looking to go back to school and not paying a arm and a leg then this is definitely a good option. If your past the immature part of your life and focused on education, this school is for you. UNT ALUMNI "14"

Yes it’s new and growing very fast, which means it’s fulfilling a need and it’s only going to get bigger. Yes it can be frustrating dealing with growing pains of a new university. That’s why you don’t see many new non for profit state universities. Don’t compare it to the larger more established universities, if you did then you would be the one in the wrong. That’s why it’s substantially cheaper than any state university I know of and it’s close to one of the strongest and wealthiest economies in the country. This place is a great opportunity for anyone wanting a degree in a small classroom environment for half the price of anything comparable. If you don’t like it go spend more time and money with larger class sizes at UTD or UNT Denton. UNTDALLAS is on the up and up.

UNT Dallas is a hotspot of optimism, representing a major effort by the State of Texas, the City of Dallas and the larger community to grow the local economy and bring quality education to (primarily) local residents. Every university is a work-in-progress. UNTD is no exception. Being new, small and quickly-expanding, UNTD is not as predictable as older institutions. For example, students may need to be patient/persistent to resolve administrative details. The place is not the same today as it was 3 years ago, and it will be a lot different 3 years from now. It is really quite amazing to watch UNTD find its place in the world, building traditions and reputation along the way. President Bob Mong is an energetic leader with vision and passion. Prospective students, parents and other stakeholders should pay attention to what he is doing and saying in his role as president. He has a good sense for how UNTD can serve students, and serve its community.

1 Star because financial aid office is a disorganized, unprofessional mess. Staff does not answer phones or email. You have to come by in person to get anything done. Seriously, if you can drive the extra 20-30 minutes to UTA I highly recommend it.
