Services
Student services
The Office of the Dean of Students creates a culture of caring for students, their families, faculty, and staff by providing exemplary programs and services designed to enhance students' academic and personal success.
Housing services
University Housing provides the best possible housing at a reasonable cost to residents, while at the same time providing more than just the basic physical needs of the apartments, houses, and residence hall rooms.
The purpose for having residence halls is not simply to provide residents a place to sleep. UTA is striving to create an environment where emotional, social, cultural, academic and recreational growth and development may be enhanced. Through residence hall programs and activities, this student development concept can be realized.

It's centrally located between Dallas (to the east) and Fort Worth (to the west). Arlington is easily accessible and is located 30 minutes from the two major airports in the metroplex—DFW International Airport and Love Field.

Student Reviews
Practical.
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
My overall study experience at my university was great. Classes taught me the theoretical side of journalism and communications, and I worked at my college's newspaper where I applied what I learned in the classroom into the real world.
Study quality and demographics
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
There is a large international student population. It has a very diverse student population. The faculty at this university is helpful. Class size is just right so students can know other students while also getting individual attention from professors.
You will never regret being a MAVERICK!
