Quite Bright
(Excuse my grammar) UTA is A decent school with average professors but the Staff is absolutely horrible. They have the worst people working their front desk in every department. I have never been treated this bad! Arlington is such a ghetto area that it almost seems like UTA picks up trash and garbage off the streets and hires them. Examples: parking office is filled with incompetent and racist old women who are very inconsistent about they tell you. This woman tells me one thing then denies it and says its written in our policy, really? I'm supposed to read the manual even after an employee gives me an answer? She should've told me from the beginning that I need to read the policy because she's too stupid to give me the correct information. Business advising department...oh, the horror. The rudest, most inefficient staff UTA can offer even though the advisors themselves are pretty nice. The director is a bitter old woman who will blurt out your academic problems in front of everyone. This woman claimed that she called my name and I didn't respond (even though I was very very careful bc I've been waiting for 8 hours to see an advisor) she tells me to come back another day. I ran out of the office in tears. I hate UTA with a passion and check their graduation rate. It's 40% with 70% retention rate. Yeah this school is ridiculous. I CANNOT WAIT TO TRANSFER OUT.

Not so bright
Horrible.. YOu are just a number or paycheck. They make sure you can't graduate in a decent amount of time by only offering some required classes once every two years. The university is very pretencio but it's all just smoke and mirrors. I know this because I also worked for them. THey create programs that sound good to keep up appearances but put little effort into making them successful. Case in point most classes are horrible. They have a handful of great TA and only a few great professors. Sometimes the class will be taught by someone that doesn't know the material or that recieved the assignment a day before class and it shows.. Unless you are an independant learner you won't learn anything here. I paid them so that I could teach myself based on the books assigned to the course.
