"Although this is my first semester at UTD, I have learned a lot from my professors and my friends. Professors are very helpful and they are accessible outside the classroom. The Career Management Center is a great resource for international student like me; in addition to resume critique, mock interview, I also have chance to learn more about US's business culture. Living in Dallas is affordable for sure. Cons: If you love social life, you will be a little bit disappointed when you come here. Overall, I love my school and I am proud to be here. Go COMETS!"

"Pros: UT Dallas's Full-Time MBA program is great value for cost to domestic/international students as well as substantial scholarship but a fair price to those paying sticker price. Their network in Dallas is excellent, and will continue to grow more competitive with SMU as UTD rises in the MBA rankings. I've found my classmates to not only be diverse in experience, nationality, and personality, but also found they are professional, friendly, and aspire toward achievement. Cons: It's a relatively new player as a top 40-50 Full-Time MBA program, so the network outside of Dallas and outside Texas still needs to grow. For that reason, it might not be the right choice (for now) if you want to become an investment banker on Wall Street. While I think it's good practice for real world situations, it's fair to disclose that you may participate on teams with those who have some proficiency but are not fully fluent in English (though I've seen rapid language learning in less than a full first semester.)"

"Recommend to all students for Supply Chain Management study. School should provide more support for students to get internships and jobs that would help a lot for us to rank higher of career support. Faculties are helpful and reachable for academic problems. Safe campus and good studying environment with an affordable living, great place to live and work."

"The program is very flexible and you can tailor it according to your needs. However, it needs to be more focused towards whats trending in the industry right now, rather then what was in the market 5-10 years back."

"UTDallas is a good school, however, it accepted too much China students. China students are usually over 60% in every business class. I would like to meet students from different country, that will be more diversity, and will be have more creative thinking since most of us come from different countries. I really appreciated my advisor and professor, they are full of patient. They always give me a hand when I have questions in homework, and when I am home sick as well. They are not only my professor, but also mentor in life. I love UTD"

"For the pros, the school is very good for its course structure and the career advising. Every professor is very helpful. Beyond teaching, many cultural fest happens almost weekly which makes the campus more lively. The worst part related to the university is the transportation. Its not at all good especially on saturday's and sunday's. About financial assistance, its pretty hard to get sometimes impossible also."

"UTD has a very good reputation and is about to become a tier 1 university. I sent out resume and shortly employers were calling me back. most undergrads either continue in advanced degree or hired shortly after they graduated. However, getting into the school was pretty selective. Must have good High School GPA and good resume."

"My graduate program at UT Dallas has several pros and cons. The school in its entirety (undergrad and graduate) embraces underrepresented ethnicities and cultural groups; this is a pro because oftentimes it is easy to become close-minded when constantly surrounded by those with a similar background to yourself. This is especially true in my graduate program, Master's of Applied Cognition and Neuroscience, because it places emphasis on incorporating a diverse student group. Whereas many of my colleagues are fellow Americans, most fellow students are from China, Japan and Middle Eastern areas; this is imperative in attaining a greater knowledge base and respect for differing opinions. The program also integrates all aspects of cognitive science into its teaching system, including psychology, neuroscience, computer science, linguistics and philosophy (which could be viewed either as a pro or con). Some of the professors have a strong computer science background and therefore teach their courses with a mathematical approach, versus some with a philosophical approach. I personally find this as a pro because, again, it aids in the ability to view learning material through a different lensed-perspective. The only con is that sometimes professors are difficult to meet with because of their busy schedules; said schedules are due to their dedication and loyalty to their research, however, again when looking at this through a different point-of-view could also be a pro! In conclusion, the knowledge base and knowledge attained so far from the program is vital is pursuing a prospective career, however it is the cultural appreciation that I most value."
