UTD: Social Life and Party Life?

[k_di]

I’ve been reading reviews and stuff claiming that UTD’s commuter school status has made it difficult to make friends, and that it’s not really a party school. Honestly, I want a good education but I also want to have fun and live a stereotypical college life. Does UTD have any sort of party environment in or around campus? Is it really that difficult to make friends there? I got accepted to JSOM and have heavily considered going but this might be a dealbreaker

Have you visited? That may be the best way to get a sense of what student life is like.

I go to JSOM and had the same worries. UTD isn’t a big party school, and the commuter vibe is real, but making friends isn’t too hard if you join clubs or attend events. Parties happen, just more off-campus and low-key.
