University of North Texas Student Reviews

Big Picture

If it were not for the department and degree I recieved would I have attended this college or staid. This university doen't give a *** about the students. I understand college is a business, but UNT is all business. Do nothing to help you with finacial aid. All the frigen fees. I came back to college after being out for 13 years pay fees for *** I did not even use. The rec center I paid 75 dollars a semester for did not step foot in the building. I had no time. Six reg semesters and one summer in school and if you are not in summer school, but registered for fall you can't use any of the facilities. I call bull***. The finacial aid part of UNT is a very sore subject with me. I originally went to a jr college and recieved an assciates degree in Fashion merchandising knowing I would transfer to a university. I did that and moved to Denton and attended UNT for fashion design. I never finished and decided to return and finish my degree. Well my origninal degree plan was no good, I had been out for to long. During all my time out of school my program had restructured from a 2yr program to three without a minor and the state added more core classes and took away classes I had already taken. What I thought was going to take me 2 years was now going to take me 3 yrs. Ok big deal right what is one more year. Well the government is not wanting to support professional students anymore and I really understand that, except I was not a professional student. I had finished 2 two yrs in the program and was told they were taking all my grants and all my finacial aid away because I had to many hours. Well they changed everything on me. My transfer hours that were for my minor no longered counted for anything except electives (70 hrs). The university gave me no help except that I could appeal for sickness, death, or injury. Well I just happened to be out of school to long and everything changed.
