Additional Costs
Room and Board The weighted average for room and board and other expenses is generated as follows:
  • (amount for on-campus room, board and other expenses * # of students living on-campus.
  • + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family
  • + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family)
divided by the total # of students. Students whose living arrangements are unknown are excluded from the calculation. For some institutions the # of students by living arrangement will be known, but dollar amounts will not be known. In this case the # of students with no corresponding dollar amount will be excluded from the denominator.

Overall, the University of North Texas is a very accredited institution. However, every now and then you will find a blow off class or professor that might be alot easier/harder than others at the same level.
Laura from Kingwood, TX
I have learned a lot in all of my classes at UNT so far. Most of the professors are really helpful with making sure that all of the students understand the information that is presented to them, and tailor the pace of the lessons accordingly.
Natalie from Plano, TX
UNT is an awesome place to not only learn new curriculum that will benefit you in our degree, but also to teach you about life in general. You meet and come into contact with so many different kinds of people, that being a freshman and living on campus is such a learning experience.
Jade from Cibolo, TX
As a music major, attending the top jazz school in the country, the knowledge available is boundless! Every day I am learning something new, but not only from the professors. My fellow classmates continually amaze me with their talent and their knowledge of the same art that intrigues me so much! Every person is passionate about what they do and are rarely hesitant to help if help is needed!
Claire from Midlothian, TX
Most of the teachers know their stuff and are pretty entertaining but some I have one or two who should probably go teach high school or stop getting off on tangents.
Allison from Grapevine, TX
With UNT having a very well rounded selection of academics and a recognized proficiency, I expect to learn anything and everything I hope to learn. I know I will be able to have the best experience here and be fully prepared for Law school after graduation.
Cara from Richardson, TX
At UNT, there are MANY opportunities to learn what you need to know, and an amazing amount of resources available to you. For instance, Willis Library is always open late, and there is a 24-hour computer lab just for students! If they don't have the book you need, they know how to get it. There are grad students that VOLUNTEER their time to help YOU, just so you can be ensured the success you deserve. There are quite a few areas on campus that are perfect for studying, and the professors are always eager to help you, provided you're willing to ask for their assistance. If you live in a residence hall, the R.A.'s (Resident Assistants) are trained (and quite happy) to assist you with anything you may need. Many of them are upper-level students in their field of study, and if they can't help you, they know someone who can. There are so many paths to success at UNT, which leaves no question about it being the best college you could hope to attend!!!
Christopher from Arlington, TX
diverse student population, lots of nontraditional students and commuters. lots of options for food on campus. great teachers and class sizes.
Mia from Dallas, TX
The faculty and staff here at UNT are the biggest resource to students, but you have to be active in using them as your resources! Professors are impressed by those who take time to talk to them during their office hours, so do it! If you are having any problem, may it be academic, social, or emotional, go talk to them about it! These people wouldn't be at the university if they didn't want you to succeed. It's not like they get paid a fortune to do so. Also, the people in your major are experienced and have connections in your field. So pay attention in class, take their advice and build strong relationships with them. They have the connections to get you internships and jobs. UNT is what you make of it! It can be a great place for learning but you have to be active in learning.
Leslie from Denton, TX
UNT is amazing, challenging, and rewarding. I transferred here almost a year ago and love it here! It is very easy to transition from high school to college in Denton and UNT.
