There's more to university life than going to class, studying at the library, excelling at a project, or acing tests. Students must also enjoy coffee meet-ups, art exhibits, theatre shows, finding the best pizza on campus, or joining in on a game with the “Mean Green Dodgeball Club” at the University of North Texas. The possibilities to learn interesting new things are as limitless as a student’s potential at UNT.

To help students relish their lives on campus, UNT offers many facilities. For example, the university has more than five hundred student organisations, counting 40+ societies/ alliances and 100+ academic honour societies. In addition, the campus has a bright student body comprising 32 new National Merit Finalists, 89 Terry Scholars, and 1,700 Honors College students. Its other initiatives to help students experience an impressive and comfortable stay are: 

• Involvement Advertising: Involvement Advising is an opportunity for the students to meet (either in-person or virtually) with a Campus Life Ambassador (CLA) to learn about their interests and steps to getting involved on campus. UTL’s CLAs, who are students themselves, advise the new students on how to get involved in the 450+ student organisations and other co-curricular opportunities.
