University of North Texas Top Questions

I would have to say that the core curriculum at UNT is very basic similar to other universities in Texas. You usually will finish these courses by the end of your sophomore year. It is very easy to meet people during the first round of classes because they are probably at the same stage in their college career as you are. Where you really branch off is in your classes that you have decided to take specifically for your major. In these classes, you will meet lots of the people that you will compete with, work with, and possibly befriend. So obviously, in these classes is when you kick up your networking. I feel that UNT has done an impeccable job in selecting instructors not only for my major, but many others. I always hear students raving about the great advice that their real estate professor gave them, or the information that their economic professor shared with them. These instructors have real-world experience that they are itching to enlighten the next generation with. I personally feel like my professors don’t see their position as a job, they see it as a chance to inspire. The students of UNT are also very involved in academics. If you find the major that feels right for you and you want to learn more about it and hear from students that have already been there, FIND THE CLUB! I say, “find the club” because no doubt about it, there is one. As I have said before, students at UNT are very proactive about what is important to them, so chances are, they have already developed the club that helps you get your foot in the door, get real world experience, and learn more about the industry you love!

Yes my professors know my name. The willis library is usually prettty crowded through out the week. the business department is amazing. I dont think ive had a professor that i didnt like since ive been at UNT. The biggest downfall i think of UNT is it is really easy to get in it doesnt seem like students have to try its like well ill apply to UNT and i know i will get in.

Currently all my professors know my name, but I am in classes that do not have more than fifty students in them. I do not like the 500 plus students in the basic courses. My favorite course at UNT are my social work classes. I feel like they are really preparing me for the real world. I think that students do not study as often as they should and then wonder why they are not doing well in their classes. In some classes, class participation can be painful, no one wants to talk, or the teacher does not want to discuss, just read off their powerpoints. Living in the dorm, one of our goals is to have intellectual conversations outside of class that are not only educational, but also fun for our residents. The most unique class i've taken was the Psycology of Death and Dying. I am a double major in Soical Work and Applied Gerontology. Both of my majors are in the PACS college. I feel that the advisors are amazing, espcially with Gerontology, but the Social Work advisor, really does not help much and useless to go and see. I do not spend time with professors outside of class.

The professors at UNT are excellent. They are all very personable, and the 20:1 student to teacher ratio provides, for the most part, small class sizes with a more intimate learning environment. They also offer an abundance of great study abroad opportunities, which gives you the chance to become good friends with the professors running the trip. I personally have attended one trip, which was an opportunity of a lifetime, and I forged lasting relationships with many people that I traveled with. It was so great that I am signed up for another trip to Thailand and Vietnam with the same group of professors for this summer.

the academics are top notch
