I earned my first degree here and decided to stay for my master’s because it seemed easier than transferring. Unfortunately, my experience at the master’s level has been disappointing. Most professors do not seem to care or make an effort to help. At first, I thought it was just one or two classes, but over time I realized that almost every professor I had was vague and unengaged. I came here wanting to learn and grow, but that hasn’t happened. Financial aid has also been a major issue. During my undergrad, it was my only way to pay for school, and their communication was poor then—and still is. When you call, staff usually know very little and tell you to email instead, but emails often take more than 10 days to get even a partial response. At one point, they withheld my financial aid for the last payment on a course, forcing me to take out a loan to cover it. Two weeks later, they emailed saying they had misread the information and issued a refund. Not everyone can afford to take out a loan like that, especially when they depend heavily on financial aid. Overall, communication between departments, students, and professors is poor, and I have not seen any improvement during my time here. I would only recommend this school if you already have the knowledge and just need to pass the tests for a quick degree. If your goal is to truly learn and develop, I suggest going somewhere else.

No longer feels like you are in America. Foreign students get nice buildings while American students study in the oldest buildings. I regret ever getting my degree here. Call your local senator or representative and voice your concerns about what's happening at this campus. Price gouging in everything including parking. Career fairs do not help students and they have the crappiest jobs available, offered by rude people who look down on you. All and all a terrible experience.

The University is a BIG NO NO interms of getting employment or job . it does not provide updated Coursework. University housing is tooo difficult to get. Graduate advisors does not even know how important any course is for the career and its value in the market, They just provide what they provide. The worst part is They hardly have 4 companies for computer science students although might have around 800 students studying with around 400 of them looking for internship or job. Career fairs are hardly useful for computer students. Infrastructure is excellent, student facilities like events , libraries, course materials, student activity clubs, gadgets is top notch. Faculties are very supportive. Also supportive with volunteering opportunities. The best I liked was mavmover bus facility ( even for Walmart). Any international student willing to come to US should apply for this university as it has very high acceptance rate, it will surely accept international application.

My experience at UTA was deeply disappointing and ultimately led me to transfer to another institution. Despite spending a significant amount of time there, I found that I was not making meaningful progress toward graduation. My academic advisor consistently provided unclear or misleading information, which made planning my academic path extremely difficult. I also encountered systemic issues within the administration. I often felt that staff members lacked the knowledge or willingness to assist students effectively. One particularly troubling incident involved a sudden reclassification of my residency status, which significantly increased my tuition, despite having lived in Texas for over five years. In my opinion, the university prioritizes revenue over student success, creating an environment where students are kept enrolled longer than necessary without adequate support. Many of the faculty members I encountered were inexperienced and seemed unprepared to teach at a collegiate level. While this experience was frustrating, transferring to a new school has renewed my motivation and confidence. I finally feel that I am on the right track to earn my degree.
