I transferred here a year ago from a bigger university and this school has the same problems I'd expect from any other. Typical administration issues, incompetent TAs, etc.

However there are some glaring problems that this university seriously needs to address. This one they know: parking is terrible. The green lot fills up so fast you can't find anywhere to park, not even the last row! I have to leave 30-40 minutes early even though I live by the school! They also charge for parking for not only students but visitors as well, which to me is in poor taste. I don't agree with schools charging for parking anyway, but they can never get enough money can they?

The lack of online classes really makes my life difficult. My previous university had them and it was such a blessing. Now at UTD my work schedule has been severely limited because I have to go to a class when I could be taking it online. If I had all the time in the world id most definitely prefer a regular class, but that's just not how my life works right now.

Another problem with classes is how few sections there are. Some classes only have one time for that semester and if it doesn't work for some reason you're screwed. Or, you're forced to take a professor you don't want which could impact your grade.

Overall UTD is a good school. The campus is beautiful, the coursework is challenging, and there are some pretty great professors here. True it's not much of a party school but my last uni was so I prefer UTDs quiet atmoshpere.
