Review of UTA Voyages

Everyone looks forward to their experience in college as did I, unfortunately my time spent was miserable. This university is supposed to be one of the more financially accessible universities yet I spent over 2k for TWO classes worth 2 credit hours. Most of my professors either did not truly care for the subject they taught or they just really didn't care about student success. The school does not prioritize their budget in the fact that my teachers went without office phones and even paper at times in order to build a new performing arts center when the old one functions beautifully. It is not aesthetically pleasing either. It is nestled in the lower income part of Arlington so there is constantly an email regarding assaults, thefts, etc. The worst part was the ROTC program. The cadre I encountered worked completely off of the buddy system and if you weren't a kiss ass you didn't succeed. Overall my time endured at UTA was not enlightening for me. The only fond memory is that of playing intramural sports and attending university functions with friends. In hindsight, I regret attending.
