University of Dallas is a well respected school with top quality food that is offered by Aramark and housing that is well maintained. I highly recommend that you come here if you want to pursue a degree in STEM since our professors are ready to teach you and learn more about you as a person.

UD is the best Catholic college, because it has very beneficially challenging classes and communal appreciation for growth in spiritual life.

This place is a one-of-a-kind school with a focus on a Western classics core. You will come out with a better education than practically anywhere, but be ready to work hard.

If you're seeking a community to support you, this is definitely the place to be. I have been welcomed with great love and joy!

The University of Dallas is a wonderful school with an admirable message that permeates almost all of the Core Classes. I came here as a STEM major who enjoys liberal arts classes. I am currently a sophomore in the Rome program and I absolutely love it. I have managed to make As in all my Core liberal arts classes. A good work ethic is mandatory.

Absolutely amazing, everything I want in college. Definitely some tough classes but you can totally do good if you stay on top of your work.

I really like this school. A few cons are that the food is hit or miss, and the computer science department which I am in is kinda underfunded. Overall though, the people are great and it's an awesome location next to a huge international airport and a large city. Totally recommend.

Bad reviews

I wish I transferred earlier but it's too late now. I spent way more time doing pointless core classes (philosophy) when I could be spending time on my major. The people (especially the girls) are so mean to me and the guys are just... well--- enough said. You will be better off at like UNT because at least they have frats and a football team.

This is a school where dreams go to die. Campus life is dead, professors are not good. This place is so horrible, I would never recommend anyone go here or suffer through what I experienced.
Overall 1.3
Prestigious, for what? This isn't Harvard. I was in the top 20% of students throughout my time here and was treated very poorly by professors and the academic committee despite being an excellent student. The core is 72 hours and none of that will help you get a job. Just read some novels and go somewhere else. Honestly huge waste of my time.

Half way through your sophomore year you'll realize that most employers don't even recognize this place. When you're having to prove yourself multiple times against tenured professors you'll be thinking about how good it could have been at any other university.
Shout out to the nightmarish condition most of the buildings are in(AC,water,internet)

I wanted to give the institution a chance. I really should've taken the reviews into consideration. The atmosphere just doesn't feel lively throughout the short period I was there. The courses are average and you're expected to teach yourself. The area isn't the best, especially with ongoing construction work and increase in crime.
Overall 1.7
Went here as a STEM major and immediately regretted my decision. The core class are exhausting and often require more work than classes for your major. At times it feels like your teachers actively want you to fail. Also to add the head softball coach is terrible and will cuss out players at the drop of a hat. I would not recommend this school.
Overall 1.7
Difficult to be a science major here as these majors are eclipsed by all the humanities. The core makes it extremely difficult to focus on the upper science classes. The social life is narrow at best. If you went to a large high school it is a hard transition to this university, because the student body is very small. There are no secrets.
