Founded in 1890 by Joshua C. Chilton as the Texas College and Teacher Training Institute, the University of North Texas began on the second floor of a hardware store in the town square of Denton a small town near Dallas, Texas. The perfect university for Apartment-ites on the go, UNT offers a rich tradition with a solid education to commuters living off campus as well as those students who choose to live on campus. UNT offers a fun educational experience for all students to enjoy. The name of the University has changed six times following its initial creation, each time reflecting its growth in size and educational goals. To date, UNT has awarded more than 200,000 bachelors and master degrees and over 100,000 of its alumni live and work in the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area. Currently 34,000 students from all 50 states and 141 countries attend UNT. There are several ways to be easily admitted into UNT. Students who graduate High School in the top 10% of their class will be automatically accepted into the program upon application. If you did not graduate this high, a student will need to provide their SAT scores and apply for admission through the general application process. Prospective students who do not meet the minimum requirement of SAT score may also submit an essay with references from former teachers, and a committee will decide on acceptance or not. The other option is to attend a community college, get your basics out of the way and then apply for a transfer. With 50 different departments and over 90 undergraduate majors to choose from, a student's choice of study at the University of North Texas is vast. With courses of study that reach out as far as a study of the inhabitants of the rainforests to theories about life on Mars, this University has it all.

Students who do not wish to or do not have the benefit of living in their own off-campus apartment in one of the many surrounding communities can live in one of the 13 residence halls on campus.
