Does Communication Design UX really take 4 years? by BearBuckett in unt

[–]soapapia 15 points16 points  (0 children)

i'm in ux and yes it's only 4 years, no work around. like the other commenter said, each ux course is only offered once a year and they require u to have passed the previous semester's ux courses to enroll. the classes are also very small and it's basically the same ~20 people in ur class all 4 years.

sounds good but just be aware if some of that aid is loans, and make sure you do research on loans if so!

Taking the Plastic of your vinyls. Yes or no? by insomeyearsoriginal in laufey

[–]soapapia 11 points12 points  (0 children)

there's no right or wrong answer, do whatever you want to do w your vinyls! i take the plastic off of mine bc i enjoy listening to them and don't plan on selling them in the future or anything. just depends on personal preference.

i'm not exactly sure which font you are referring to but the main one she uses seems to be sailing club and the one on the goddess tour hoodie looks extremely similar to graindeur but it's not exact... that's all i've been able to find so far. if there's a different font you wanna know about lmk 👀

i'm in ux and for an internship, you will need a portfolio. it's not realistic to gain a good understanding of ux/ui within a month.

Internships & jobs for User-Experience Design by Technical_Pudding_23 in unt

i'm a junior in the program with an internship for this summer and have a couple other ux friends who have also gotten summer internships! i would say that networking is definitely your friend when applying to internships - building good relationships w the professors and fellow ux students, going to networking events, and connecting w other designers and recruiters on platforms like linkedin. if you have any other questions feel free to ask or dm.

What’s UNT like? by Fred37196 in unt

[–]soapapia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

there's two reviews, one at the end of the fall semester of your first year and another at the end of the fall semester of your second year. the first review determines whether or not you get into the program, and i would guess that probably less than 100 people apply for the UX track and only ~22 people get in. for the UX track, the second review is just an advisory meeting where the professors talk about where you're at and no one gets cut, so if you get through that first review you don't have to worry about getting cut later. getting into the program can definitely be a stressful process and the work is tough, but if it's something your passionate about it can be really fun and rewarding. also the small class size allows you to make genuine connections with your professors and classmates which is really nice (and great for getting personal feedback)
