UTA is so underrated; the quality of education you get for the price you pay can’t be beat any where on NTX. I graduated with an abundance of great memories from the college of business (operations management). I would highly recommend this school to anyone; it’s very possible to graduate from UTA without debt.

I would not call myself a proud Alumni of this school. I’ve had constant run-ins with their difficult parking, especially at the garage near the College Park Center. I remember my early years attending parking was free after a certain time, or on weekends; Now you need a year round permit. Moreover construction is horrible. Usually you will find yourself in a battle to find parking during the daytime (morning commuters are lucky).This campus is money hungry with not much to offer for all students unless your athletic or possibly within the 10% of your graduating high school class. Jobs are even more scarce to find on campus if you’re looking for a work-study program. I could go on and on and list the certain negatives of this school, but you can on your own accord and experience. I can only say the best thing about this school is the program I received my degree from.

If I could give this school no stars for the rating I would. The school is a money-hungry establishment. The parking department is the worst I have ever heard off, they barely give scholarships to in-state students (I have no problem with giving international students scholarships, I just wish they would give in-state as well because we all need it). Classes are unnecessarily hard for a school with little to no credentials. Goodluck, I am sure you will have a great time in this school. MAV UP!! :-)

Admissions screening is very slow. My daughter applied for UTA in September. The first call we were told the application was stuck in the system and it would only take 3 business days to get application through the screening. Mid November now and they are still reviewing Spring of 2018 applications as we have been told every time we call. The call center gives the same canned answer and offers no resolution. Not very efficient when a student is trying to line up their plans for after graduation

They do not answer the phones promptly and pass the buck like no other. Call the Academic Department for tuition/rates, they direct you to call (not even transfer) the department's front desk, then the front desk directs you to the admissions, then admissions directs you to the web. This is just one example of how things are done in Arlington. Each Academic Department should have an estimate of their programs, regardless. Arlington is super lax, very carefree. They run the college like a high school.

The school is nice. The diversity at this place can not be beat. Be prepared for a walk as a commuter. It be nice if they offered more scholarships for non-traditional students. I don't regret my experience here at all!

RUDE CHEATERS, MONEY STEALERS; HIDDEN BENEATH THE SURFACE
After reading the reviews i feel scammed as well. Paid for my documents to be sent in, but they keep saying that they never received it. Like another commenter had mentioned "they don't give you the information upfront & that you're kept doing a scavenger hunt". Compared to others, i haven't wasted much money, but it's scary to think that you'd invest in a school that continuously cheats you, and mixes you up through their info.
Their service with admissions varies. By email, they're rude to you and make you feel like a nuisance for asking questions that aren't on their school website.
Over the phone service is better, but can be rude as well. The information that you find on the website, isn't accurate nor straight to the point-- you have to keep calling (go through a 20-30 minute wait to be reached) just to receive the simplest of answers that could've been written on their website.
I've heard goo reviews overall of the school, but i feel like there are alot of things that are hidden beneath the surface. It seems like the type of school that want to have a known persona (nice facility, good food, sports) in order to pull in and attract more students to their school.response / report this review -

I would give it 0 stars if I could. Awful campus, constant construction and inadequate student parking. Almost the entire front part of the school is blocked off due to construction. Despite construction, the school doesn't put student's convenience and well-being as a priority. Rules will be strict and unyielding even during summer and no classes. Charges are ridiculously high despite the fact that the school fails to communicate effectively concerning parking location changes during construction times. They will try to charge you for almost everything, be careful with reading all the signs they have around parking lots. They've cut down on so many courses and good teachers, and brought up tuition to build useless structures instead of new parking spaces or fixing old buildings. During semesters it takes about a good mile walk to get to class from parking. Additionally, some of the buildings, for example, Life Science are so worn down that during rainy weather will leak huge amounts of water that will break the ceiling, and several buildings have flooded due to bad infrastructure.

I would not tag it to "one of the great schools". I joined this school with a big hope and later, I found out that everything is just below the expectation. I sensed something fishy right on the International Orientation Day. I had the unconditional admit and then, I was forced to two prerequisites, adding $6k to my expense and another semester for nothing good. Oh wait! Things started getting worse from here. Not all the courses are offered round the year and you have to play a sort of 'tug-of-war' at midnight if you want to get enrolled in courses of your choice. The worst part is the Graduate Advisor. Either she doesn't know the system or she thinks I am a fool. I can't enroll in 4 courses in a semester???? I had 4.00 cumulative GPA and I was denied enrolling to 4 courses in a semester because 'this is not the system', according to graduate advisor. SeriouslY?!?
I do admit there are ONLY A FEW good professors who know the stuff and help you all the way.
I think I never had choices here, everything was more or less forced upon me. I could have become something if I were given choices, but I have become nothing now.
Suggestion: Do NOT join this school for graduate courses especially Industrial Engineering. If you want to learn something and mold your career to one of your choice, do NOT JOIN UTA!response / report this review -

This school as pushed a man to commit suicide. Let it be known to any who attend this school that if you are straight and turn down homosexual advances, that you will be suspended without evidence.
I hope ALL the administrators at this school are happy with themselves, particularly Heather L Snow. The blood of Mr. Klocke is on your hands.response / report this review -

You know, I was going to give your college a good rating, but then I remembered that a student committed suicide just a few days ago because your school denied him legal due process, did not tell the Title IX coordinator, did not let him communicate with witnesses who could stand in his defense, and found him guilty based off no evidence and nothing but the claim of a gay student (who was hitting on the straight kid, and only went and accused the straight kid, the victim, of writing "gays should die" on his laptop" after the gay kid was nicely but honestly rejected bcuz the kid was straight.)
PS- Heather Snow is the administrator responsible for this, and her disgusting, evil self should be fired ON THE SPOT!!! I don't care if she has tenure. FIRE her. That's EVIL what she did. The woman should be charged with manslaughter. What she did is unforgivable.
Also, there's a few obvious inconsistencies with the gay kids story, anyway. So even aside from the fact he had zero evidence, the straight kids story just makes a lot more sense to begin with, for example:
1) How did the straight kid know the random kid in his class was gay, unless the gay kid had hit on him? Classrooms at colleges are typically large, and there's a good chance he didn't even know he was gay.
2) What "motive" did the straight kid (the victim here) have, to write that on the gay kids computer screen? Clearly, the risks (extremely harsh penalties, loss of entire future) outweigh the benefits (none) of doing it. The student had no history of homophobic behavior, either.
3) What seems more likely to you- a person hitting on someone (very common with hormonal young adults, lets be honest), OR someone risking their entire future just to be petty and write "gays should die" on a computer for no freaking reason, when you don't even have beef with the kid?
I think anybody with a BRAIN can tell you that on bullet point #2, the gay kid's story seems extremely unlikely.
Everybody KNOWS that colleges have witch hunts against straight white males. Everybody KNOWS males in general get screwed on college campuses, regardless of race, tbh. Everybody KNOWS attacking a gay kid instantly gets you in serious trouble. EVERYONE KNOWS THIS!
Like DON'T FLATTER YOURSELF, U OF TEXAS, THERE'S NO FREAKING WAY A KID WOULD KNOWINGLY THROW HIS ENTIRE FUTURE AWAY JUST TO WRITE "GAYS SHOULD DIE" ON A COMPUTER! NOBODY WOULD FREAKING DO THAT AT A COLLEGE!
And if you actually believed the gay kid, truly believed him, then WHY DID YOU FORBID THE ACCUSED STUDENT (THE STRAIGHT ONE) FROM EVEN COLLECTING WITNESSES OR WITNESS STATEMENTS? HUH? WHY? WHY? TELL ME! WHY DID YOU PREVENT THAT STUDENT FROM DEFENDING HIMSELF? IF YOU BELIEVE THE GAY KID WAS TELLING THE TRUTH, THEN WHY WERE YOU SO ADAMANTLY OPPOSED TO ALLOWING THE ACCUSED HIS DUE PROCESS! IF YOU BELIEVED HE WAS GUILTY, THEN SHOULDN'T THE ACTUAL *FACTS* SHOW THAT? HUH?
NOW WE HAVE AN INNOCENT STUDENT WHO IS FREAKING DEAD THANKS TO YOUR EVIL AND NEGLIGENT ACTIONS!
I blame either this college, OR I blame Heather Snow.
FIRE HEATHER SNOW, and APOLOGIZE PUBLICLY FOR THIS INCIDENT, and explain how SADDENED you are that you let this happen on your campus- and then this review will get changed to a 5 star.response / report this review -
