Points of Distinction

Student-centered public research university and the flagship of the UNT System

More than 300 student organizations and 14 residence halls
One of America’s 100 Best College Buys® for 11 consecutive years

It’s hard to imagine that this bustling university of nearly 25,000 undergraduates was once housed on the second floor of a hardware store in downtown Denton. Today, the University of North Texas is a well-regarded research institution and the flagship school of the University of North Texas System. Students choose from 96 bachelor’s degrees, and UNT is known for its top-notch music school and comprehensive visual arts program. The jazz studies program was one of the first of its kind, and the Grammy-nominated One O’Clock Lab Band is known around the globe.

Although UNT is primarily a commuter school, it does offer on-campus housing in 14 residence halls, two of which opened in 2007. With 31 fraternities and sororities, Greek life tends to dominate at UNT. There are alternative extracurricular options, though, with more than 300 student clubs and organizations. Ten men’s and women’s athletic teams participate at the NCAA Division 1-A level.

The North Texas Jazz Festival in Addison, cosponsored by UNT, is a staple of students’ spring calendars. The Mayborn Literary Nonfiction Writers Conference of the Southwest brings to campus acclaimed authors and publishers like Joyce Carol Oates and Nan Talese. Longtime hangouts like Tomato’s pizzeria on nearby Fry Street have been lost to the wrecking ball, but some locals are optimistic that the retail redevelopment of Fry Street will bring new favorites. Meanwhile, students still like the GreenHouse Restaurant for affordable burgers, drinks, and music.
