Hello everyone! I am not sure if this is a good place to ask these questions, but if you can answer them, please answer. I am a high school student from New York who recently became a Mean Green fan. I would like to become a teacher in the Metroplex, and I think UNT may be my best option. UT Dallas doesn't seem as active as Denton and they don't have a football team, and SMU and TCU are way too expensive. In case you were wondering, I also did look at SUNY schools, but I do not want to have to go to 6 years of school, which the state of NY requires. Plus I think that a composite science certification from UNT will be better for job searching here in Texas. Anyways, here are my questions:
1. How are the on campus dorms? They seem nice, and I would like to at least live my freshman year on campus, if accepted. It doesn't seem UNT is a commuter school either, because a decent percentage of students do live on campus and Denton is a fun town.
2. How is on campus food? I would definately have to get the unlimited 7 day meal plan with Flex bucks if I attend here.
3. How are the education and science programs here in your opinion?
4. I did not see UNT on the list of colleges where students could get a discounted DART pass. I would definately like to be able to take DCTA and DART into Downtown Dallas. Does anyone know if the pass is discounted?
Thanks for the help!

OOS UNT Fan Considering Attending...Questions
in The Eagles Nest (There Should be Pie For Everyone Forum)

Thanks for the help everyone! I found out about UNT just through research. I originally really wanted to attend the University of Texas or Texas A&M. One thing about those two, is that they are expensive and are not the most generous universities with scholarships. And let's be honest, I am really not going into a field where the college matters. If I were majoring in accounting or finance, then maybe the extra $$ for UT would have been worth it if I was even accepted into McCombs School of Business. So I looked around Texas, and found many good colleges in Texas. Like a previous poster said, it would be worthless to get my tracking certification in New York, then come down to live and work here in Dallas. I looked around Texas, and I am also looking into other Texas publics, specifically Texas State in San Marcos and University of Houston. But of those, I think UNT is my favorite.
This summer, I am going to fly down into DFW and not only take an official tour of UNT, but also tour UT, A&M, TX State, and UH. I think UNT is my top choice, but I just want to see if I really enjoy it or not before applying this fall.
I visited Ohio State a few weeks ago, but while it was a very good school, Ohio just seemed like a very boring place outside of Columbus.
