The University of Texas at Arlington Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Emma

The lack of care for the students. All UTA wants is money and I wish I would have know that because I would not have attended at all.

Laura

I wish I had known that although UT Arlington is not as "popular" as many of the other well known Texas universities, it is still a great school and deserves more credit than it receives. Not having a football team doesn't mean there isnt anything to enjoy here. Arlington is full of diversity and new places to go, new restaruants to try and its smack in the middle of DFW!

Valerie

That there advisors in the College of Business do not help you graduate on time...

Therese

How to budget.

Courtney

That it was more of a commuter school, and that the campus cleared on the weekends. I may have chosen to live at home instead of moving to campus if I would have known this.

Melanie

Take upper level classes and lower level classes together.

Eric

That the parking is pretty bad.

Ashley

Its funny, but I thought every major city especially in Texas had a bus . If I had known that, I would have factored in needing to buy a car.

Bryan

Sometimes I feel like there are a lot of opportunities to get involved, but the few times that I have tried to contact a couple of different organizations, I never got responses back.

Megan

How many student activities there were, I was really surprised about finding out that alot of the academic majors have clubs and societies for there students as well as intramural sports. It was kind of shocking to see how culturally diverse the campus was, it was a great surprise though. However on the negative list I wish I'd known more about the parking rules, I ended up with a ticket. Opps.
