University of North Texas, Fall 2014

I could not find a UNT thread anywhere, so I made one. Would love to talk to some others who plan to attend in the Fall. I know nothing about the area.

I went there for my B.A. It is an awesome campus, it sits next to TWU within a typical small-town environment. Denton is a very hip town...plenty of places to shop, eat, etc. There are plenty of campus buses (they just got new buses in 2012). Many new buildings, some departments are well known, some are not. However, I see you will be attending the MPH program (?). The MPH program is housed and the degree itself is conferred from the University of North Texas Health Science Center, which is in Fort Worth, Texas. Fort Worth is a medium-sized city, really awesome food scene, arts scene.

Awesome! thanks for all of the information! how close is fort worth to dallas?

[Cog-Neuro Guy]

Fort Worth is about 20-25 minutes west of Dallas. Living downtown anywhere in the DFW metroplex can be expensive. If you are looking for low cost apartments, I would recommend places 10-15 minutes away from Fort Worth. Funny enough, it is cheaper to live in Denton (which is where the main UNT campus is).
