Student reviews

Campus and vibes

Student

The professors at the University of Dallas are amazing, I learn so much from each of them and not only that but it's something new I didn't know, every day. However I'd like the price to change, they're way too expensive. It's too much of a party school for me and I usually don't vibe with a lot of the student body. I think the University needs to let less students in, it's way too big and way too expensive. I like the professors but very much dislike how large and expensive the University is.

Student

It's an amazing school with an incredible student body, strong academics, and a wonderful liberal arts program.
