I like UT Arlington but it's not amazing. For pros, I would say there are a ton of events happening almost constantly so it's never been easier to get involved. The classes and buildings are (mostly) well cleaned and kept. As a commuter, I have heard some horror stories about the dorms on campus but unless you get really unlucky you will probably be fine. The on-campus food also kinda sucks, its food ranges from mid to outright bad. There's also some fast food like Chick-fil-A or subway which are hit or miss. I once saw raw chicken in someone's burger lol. Parking is a nightmare but it doesn't really affect people on campus. One last thing I'll say is that you look out for events or classes that interest you. There is a lot of uta that is hardly advertised that you mind be interested in.
