It is great to see how well UT Dallas is developing in many areas. From academic buildings to Arts buildings to ESports and student success facilities to the new Dart station, there's no shortage shortage of resources that are in place or are in the works. I would definitely recommend UT Dallas to prospective students

Bad reviews
Overall 1
Not a happy place to be in. The staffs here are horrible
Overall 1.3
I went to UTD for a little bit and it was the most bland and disappointing experience. Everybody is rude, entitled, snobby, never smiles, and just overall and upsetting place to be at. Idk what it is with this place but literally everything about it is lifeless. It is a modern beautiful place with lots of natural light but life here sucks.
Overall 1.5
Attending this university turned out to be an incredibly negative experience, primarily because of the subpar professors and the university's relentless attempts to extract money from students at every turn. I genuinely regret my decision to enroll in this school and would strongly advise anyone considering it to think twice.
Overall 1.7
It sucks here.
Overall 1.7
Most depressed I've ever been. Scheduling and advising are terribly organized. Extremely expensive both to live in the area and for tuition. 99% of campus is a concrete parking lot h*ll. Don't go here w/o a full ride or rich parents. You will spend your entire time working, on classwork, and fighting tears in traffic on the way to your 8:00 AM. 0/5
Overall 1.9
Not for me personally
Overall 1.9
It's just an average school like any other, with very poor management, some good professors, and No social life. it sucks!
Overall 2
average school with poor resources and unprofessional staffs
Overall 2
Do not come to this school if you cannot pass Calculuc 2 unless you want to go into human resource management, make $15 an hour in marketing, or be a Starbucks barista because all of the other majors here require it as a prerequisite.
