<p>My son is interested in UNT. Does anyone have thoughts or impressions about the school? He is not a music major but does have a music background. He's more interested in Liberal Arts. </p>
<p>What about dorm life? Any suggestions on dorms, food, etc? Thanks.</p>
<p>make sure ur son does good but its really important that he sends in his application the earliest possible due date.</p>
<p>im sure he will make it =)</p>
<p>Some of my classmates are going there this fall. They like it a lot. LOTS of opportunities for musically-inclined people. Their foreign language department, especially French, is awesome!!!<br>
GOOD LUCK TO YOUR SON!!!</p>
<p>Being from the DFW area, UNT is about 20 minutes from me. It’s definitely a commuter school for the kids who want to go to a university but still stay at home. Or, if they’re not living at home, they usually get an apartment in Denton–I’ve never heard a thing about the dorms, but I’m assuming they’re under-used or simply gross.</p>
<p>It doesn’t have a very scenic campus, and I get a feeling of dirtiness whenever I go up there (they host a lot of cheer competitions, HS graduations, etc at the coliseum), but that could just be personal preference more than anything.</p>
<p>Denton is possibly one of the ugliest places on the face of the earth. UNT is mainly known as a commuter school, although not entirely. You don’t hear much about any of the programs other than music. It is also NOT very close to Dallas for nightlife etc.</p>
<p>Oh, and all of the Dentonites (Denton-ers?) are in LOVE with Fry Street, which they are convinced is basically the same thing as 6th Street is to Austin. Having been to both, I can assure you that is not the case.</p>
