When I first toured UNT after looking at schools like Nebraska, Louisville, Pittsburgh, etc, I noticed that UNT felt the most authentic out of all the places I looked. You can walk into pretty much any class and find any type of person you could imagine. While the campus wasn't the prettiest, I was immediately impressed by the cleanliness and effort that the administration seemed to have placed upon new campus facilities and the physical environment. During my flight back home from touring UNT, I remember talking to my dad about how I felt UNT was a "hidden gem" not only in the DFW area, but honestly the entire country.
My point is that UNT is starting to get noticed by people on a grand scale. I chose this school because I loved the potential it had to offer and I was immersed with the benefits that other students are finally starting to see. Hell my freshman class had the largest number of out of state students UNT had ever seen.
Given society is still around in 20 years, I genuinely believe UNT is on a track to compete with pretty much any school in America. I am glad I chose this school and proud
