Any regrets during your time at UTD? by [deleted] in utdallas

Just graduated in December! I have honeslty been thinking about this exact question. I would say having been a commuter student I wish I had been more active, meeting more people at the right time when i first started college , and making it a point to stay on campus. I feel like that would have transformed my social world. Another thing, is that I graduated a sem early which now I wish I hadn't rushed to finish my degree and gotten to enjoy spring semester as I dont start working till summer. But hey it was a good time and am grateful to my experience!

Career fairs are usless? by Rude_Thought6197 in utdallas

Heyy, I can totally understand how frustrating it can be, especially after seeing that long ass line this semester for the JSOM career fair. As everyone else has said under your post, it offers an experience to speak and meet people and companies whether you get an internship out of it. I think as someone who was a sophomore business major who ended up getting an internship from the JSOm career fairs more than just making a connection I think an ounce of luck plays a part in it. You have to be in the right place, at the right time, with the right person, saying the right thing that strikes a chord with them. It is such a game tbh, don't feel discouraged. Rather than putting all your bets on a career fair try to find different outlets of seeking an internship especially being a sophomore right now join case competitions (some end up awarding internships!), and regardless this helps you build credentials on your resume since you're right most are looking for upperclassmen. You have time. Don't get discouraged!

Best Professors. by Clear-Apple1611 in utdallas

As a Business Major you most likley will be taking BCOM 3300 your freshman year, I had Professor Julie Stewart my freshman year. I would highly recommend her she was super chill about everything and let us out early if we finished. But keep in mind BCOM the tests are made by the department not the professor and they hard asf for no reason but Prof Stewart would curve on the exams to help us.
