But, if you want a party school, where most likely the more party hardy types wont graduate, Try colleges/universities that are in the exact middle of NOWHERE! Those places will have the local boozers for the grad students since there isnt another place within 100 miles to drink. Close to UTA is NTSU. Its a party school. Its an elevated High School. Ive attended both. UTA is sincere in wanting their students to graduate and move on. The average age of the students isnt 18-19, I think it was last set around 24? Meaning, the majority of students are paying their own way through, they have been to the party schools and flunked out, or have decided to go back once again and this time finish their work. Remember, college isnt a running frat party, isnt a social club, isnt a vocational school, isnt there to baby sit you or indulge in your poor attitude or depression. The reason that UTA is there is to produce graduates period. Campus Life doesnt exist. WHY? Because within 20-30 mins there are the best bars, night clubs in the country! What ever you are into, Canned Music, Country, Metal Live or Canned, what ever your little heart desires for entertainment circles your campus and stupid click college prep bars just can not compete. Why would they and why would they even try? So, to come to this school and have a good time at the parties you need to be social. You cant be shy or a stick you will get passed by quickly. The same as you would at any other school. Grit your teeth, swallow your pride if you have no friends or you are shy force yourself to join a frat or club. Then, you have paid for friends that may become real friends, you have a group to work with, you may have mass transportation and if lucky for the real reason you are there a test bank. Or at least an elder frat person that has taken that class or that prof and knows how to pull you through that class. Party hardy is NTSU or use to be 10 on the top 10 at Playboy. It was when I was there. UTA WHO? No Party ranking. Again, within 20-30 mins the best party spots in the country including any sport that thrills you for the pros. And, well the college home team football? UTA never had a decent team of anything. Maybe women's volleyball. Basenball maybe. You want to experience the home coming football games? Go to a local school like SMU, NTSU, TCU and hang around. Or, heck spend 3.5 times the cost for your loan or burden on your parents and have a great time. One that you or your parents are paying for. Otherwise, be smart go to UTA.
IF you are into becoming a leader this is a perfect place! You have the op. to immediately lead people. as a sophomore I was on the executive board of a major campus organization. I've learned a lot.
THE PEOPLE: It was difficult for me to find friends. I am shy but by becoming a student leader, gave me more exposure to more people. I kind of gave up on looking for friends and became more comfortable with being by myself, speaking randomly to the many people I work/ live with. My room mate and I shared a special bond.
I stayed in a dorm 2 years. Highly suggest it.
SMART KIDS: IF you want a challenge PLEASE PLEASE join the honor's college! You can conduct your own research. There are many bright students and you only need a 3.2 to get in. possibilities to stand out as a student are endless because unfortunately many students are not going to go the extra mile.
**Why I'm transfering: I'm no longer a nursing major. I found the campus somewhat depressing, as many students transfered to uta because their grades fell. AND I wanted a bigger/true(er) college experience. as many students are commuters and seem a little scared to talk to one another (perhaps I'm bias b/c I am shy) I like to play with people and I had a few joking buddies. so that was positive. Overall I got a great opp. at UTA and look forward to my next U.
