A
public
university
located in
Denton, Texas
. It offers
undergraduate
,
master
's, and
doctoral
degrees. It was established in 1890 as
Texas Normal College and Teacher Training Institute
, a
teacher's college
, by
Joshua C. Chilton
, the school's first president. Its first
campus
was in some rooms above a
hardware store
on the
town square
. The
school
has gone through a number of name changes, including
North Texas Normal College
,
North Texas State Teachers College
, and
North Texas State University
. It became "University of North Texas" in 1988.
UNT is a fairly large
school
(
enrollment
of 27,000 students in 2000) with an extremely
inefficient
bureaucracy
and an extremely
virulent
fraternity
system.
Education
varies from "
okey-dokey
" to "
really bad
", depending on what
major
you get stuck with. The school is probably best known for their
jazz
program, which is one of the best in the world--their "
lab band
s" have even won
Grammy Awards
.
The
dorms
tend to be
bloody awful
, with the exception of
Bruce Hall
, the
old
est but still
hip
pest
residence hall
on
campus
. For
entertainment
, try nearby
Fry Street
or drive to
Dallas
for
bar
s, or visit the
mall
or the
square
for
shopping
.
Drive
s in the
country
can also be pretty nice in
North Texas

The largest public music school in the nation, UNT is home to over - supposedly - 20,000 music majors.
Mostly jazz and classical musicians, those that live on campus generally reside in
Bruce Hall
which is most definitely NOT the best residence hall on campus (the food is almost inedible, and the smoke outside the doors is hell for asthmatics).
The other campus residences are Crumley Hall, Kerr Hall (which has the best - in most people's opinion - cafeteria), Clark Hall (serves junk food all day every day),
McConnel Hall
(the
TAMS
ter dorm, probably the nicest on campus because they, sadly, baby us), Maple Hall (the hall the REST of the people think has the best food), and Big West Hall (serves the same food as Bruce, but it's strangely edible).
The campus is also well known for it's sciences (not counting the
chem lab from hell
), being one of very few schools in which all four
Barry M. Goldwater
Scholarship nominees were rewarded (even
MIT
didn't get that last year) and being one of the top ten "
Wired
" schools in the nation with (at my last count) seven
T3
's for student use.
The athletics program recieves recognition as having the SECOND worst football team in the nation (114 out of 115 according to
Sports Illustrated
).
Overall - Great school for music, but if you expected a real education, you'd best leave.
