For UT Dallas, the undergraduate Asian population is American Asian vs international. Their Asian % is close to 30%, but international is only 5%. The graduate level programs are much higher for international students. UT Dallas does draw from the local area - Plano/Frisco and I’m assuming the industries in that area must employ many Asian workers whose children choose UTD. They do draw from other parts of the country - my DD is part Asian from Austin and her roommate is Asian from San Jose. I do know many people consider UTD to be a suitcase school but with at least a third of their undergrads living on campus, it appears to be changing. UTD is in a suburb which has its good/bad points. All necessities of life are close - grocery stores, Target, restaurants. It is lacking the bar scene. They are building a drag across the street with additional housing and they do give you a DART pass that can take you many places in the Dallas area. Unfortunately, Arlington is not on the DART line.
