I like the strong academics at this university as well as the friendly and fun atmosphere in the community of students. There seems to be a place for everyone. The location of the school is excellent. It is situated in Irving Texas (which I love Irving!) and is 20 minutes outside of Dallas. The school offers a "once in a lifetime" study abroad experience in Rome, Italy. I highly recommend this study abroad program- you will not regret going to study and travel in Europe for a semester!
Review University of Dallas
I have been attending the University of Dallas for almost two complete years now, and it has been a fairly good experience. The school's core consists of many classes that all students (regardless of their major) have to take, which is pretty annoying. But the classes are not too difficult, so that compensates for the amount of classes that are required. The professors are generally very nice and helpful, and each department provides free tutoring for all students. Tuition is a bit pricy, but there are multiple opportunities to receive financial aid. The dormitories are pretty nice as well, especially Clark hall (typically sophomores and juniors live there, and each room has it's own walk in closet and private bathroom). The only thing I really dislike is the community itself. I have encountered many rude and pretentious students, but that is not too much of a setback. The University of Dallas is a great University to attend for the students seeking a liberal arts education.
I love studying at the University of Dallas! The school's focus is definitely academics and community, and you can see it all over campus. No matter where you go on campus, there are little tables and chairs, big windows and good lighting. I love the discussions I get into on a daily basis with the people around me, whether I know them well or not. The campus is pretty, too. A bit old, having not been seriously renovated since its establishment in 1956, but nonetheless charming. I really like studying here. It suits my personality perfectly-- quiet, studious, and friendly!
