The University of Texas at Arlington Top Questions

According to the large student population, and I heartily agree with them, the most frustrating thing about the University of Texas at Arlington is the parking. The fact is UTA grew much faster than they expected and have done their best through repainting lines in the lots and encouraging carpooling, nonetheless, the staggering rise in the student population was a bit overwhelming for them. They are now constructing bigger dormitories and parking facilities, but while they remain unfinished we students find ourself questing for a parking space that doesn't requre a mile long walk to class.

Fighting for parking in vast parking lots. There should be parking garages instead of lots to save space for better development, like parks or university facilities. Also, people tend to get mugged for their cellphones in hit and runs while walking to far parkinglots at night and not paying attention to their surroundings. Also security at certian events are unreasonable - my dad and niece were not allowed to reenter my sister's graduation ceremony because they would "disturb" others, yet everyone inside was yelling and blowing air horns, people were up walking around inside near restrooms and on cell phones.

I am confident that every "Maverick", here at the University of Texas at Arlington, will agree that the parking situation is certainly the most frustrating aspects of attending classes here. A parking sticker can be afforded to students for only $70 dollars but if a student purchases the pass in person, then, the parking sticker is a bit more than $100, for a single semester. Often, traffic impedes students from arrving to 7 and 8 am classes on time because one of Texas's bussiest street runs straight through the campus. Students are often priced-out of their parking privilage.

There is nothing bad I can say about my school.

The food gets monotonous after a while. But, I get hungry so I've learned to deal with it.

I have found some inconsistency in the adherence to APA style and format when writing papers. All of my classes require APA format but each tend to follow different rules.

The most frustrating thing about UTA is the limited parking.

Probably the most frustrating thing about my school was something that happens on all college campuses-the feeling of hopelessness and lack of readily available information. Having to figure out exactly what was required and expected of me at all times was exhausting, whether it concerned GPA or transcripts or financial aid. This was my proverbial "wake up call" and it made me realize how much I had taken my family, more specifically my mom, for granted. There is no one there to do it for you and you find the truth of what being brave means in your life!

The most frustrating thing about my school is that most of the food on campus is collected in one building on the edge of campus. It is convienent when you are in that building, as you now have all these options on your hands but it tends to be difficult to find time between classes to grab some lunch. I wish the food was better dispersed about the campus.

The most frustrating thing about my school is that there is a lack of school spirit. I attribute this to the fact that it is a local university and unfortunately does not have a football team and I think that does hinder our spirit some as well. Our alumni are also not as supportive as I have seen at other schools
