What's the most frustrating thing about The University of Texas at Arlington?

Elizabeth

The parking! This the the most frustrating thing about my school.

Well I am a Music Education major in orchestra and the most frustrating thing at my school is the lack of practice rooms! In the Music Building at UTA, there are only 20 practice rooms for the bands, orchestra, and chorus. It is really frustrating because you have to come early to try to get a practice room to practice for an hour before class start. You cannot even practice on rehearsal days, because all the practice rooms would be filled up hours before rehearsal starts. It is beyond frustrating when you are beside the drums and trying to practice.

The most frustrating thing to deal with is the parking situation. It is not bad as long as you get to school early.

Rhianna

The most frustrating thing about my school would have to be the parking. However, parking is not a problem if you live on campus and walk to class, which i would highy recommend.

Allison

I have barely found anything wrong with my school, I have learned however, if a student would like to talk to services such at housing or finanical aid that they should go directly to the offices in order to have their questions answered in a timely fashion.

Staci

The campus maps are not as clear as I would like. The financial aid office is very slow to respond and sometimes questions are not always clearly answered.

Kelsey

The most frustrating thing about UTA is, quite simply, the lack of resources. It has all the basics--good tutoring program, strong advising center, well planned course direction--but there really is this vibe of never being quite good enough, simply due to lack of time, space, and money. There's very much an air of "it's not UT Austin, but it's good enough," among many of the students.

Courtney

The most frustrating thing about the school is that if you have a meal plan the hours of the cafeteria are conflicting with your schedule.

Daniela

Finding somewhere to study during the day

Dmitri

The most frustrating thing that I found about UTA was the lack of school spirit. Due to our lacking sports program, I feel like the school spirit there at UTA was sub-par. They had events such as homecoming, and different school "bashes", but I felt like without a football team, it was lacking. Most colleges' school spirit is derived from an above average sports program, and that is one thing UTA is missing.
