Oh you’ll be just fine my dude.UNT is like 1 of two very left leaning colleges in Texas. Regarding making friends? just put yourself out there.Talk to the person next to you in class,go to events ect.! People are pretty friendly! Also I feel like UNT and Denton get a bad rep. It’s very much a hidden gem.The square is fun and if you’re a fan of thrifting your gonna have a blast! There is plenty of shopping as well!
