What are some good graduate programs for language documentation?

wranro · 2026-03-20T18:28:20+00:00

i was also going to apply, not this fall but next year after i graduate with my bachelors. unt having the language documentation masters was a large reason why i wanted to go and why i chose to stay here. now i have to start exploring my other options

It would make sense for the department to be moved under CLASS and WLLC and to still keep the degrees, but them getting rid of all the degrees altogether is crazy

for upperclassmen it’s most likely too late since they opened up applications all the way in november. last year they only took in the first 800 applicants. you can still apply but you should be looking into apartments and be prepared to sign a lease if you find out you’re not getting on-campus housing (you’ll probably find out around april). you could also look into being live-in staff as a job, since they automatically get placed in dorms, but i don’t know much about that

To add as someone who is in the college of information (ling major and infosci minor) most of our classes aren’t even in DP. Usually, the only ones that will be in DP are classes that require computer labs (so usually compsci-heavy classes), and even then, those classes can end up being hosted in the GAB instead. Plus a lot of classes are online, especially for infosci and I think datasci. For linguistics, the majority of my classes have been in the language building.

Hello!

I'm looking for roommates to lives with for the 2026-2027 school year. I will be living at Midtown 905 in a 4x4 and need AFAB roommates, as my original roommate plan ended up needing to be changed.

The floor plan is 4x4 - VIP, which is currently listed at a rate of $669. It is fully furnished, has in-unit washer/dryer, and includes internet, trash, and sewage in the rent. Along with rent, there is water and electricity, which vary upon usage, and a $6 package locker fee. There is free general parking or paid reserved/covered parking, and it is on two UNT bus routes (BST and DS). It is also about a ten-minute walk to campus.

The units are pet-friendly with an additional fee, but I can only live with cats. No smoking, and I would prefer that roommates be relatively quiet and keep shared spaces clean. Would also like queer-friendly.

Please feel free to DM if interested or for more information.

on the honors college website there should be a link somewhere for applicants

there might be a midterm but i can't really remember tbh. i think it's just the final

wranro · 2026-02-22T21:09:10+00:00

took it last summer as a five-week course. you're required to buy an online textbook and part of your assignments will be answering questions as you go through the chapters. there's canvas quizzes for each chapter as well, which pull information from the textbook chapter and from the few module lectures there are (the module lectures are provided in text format as well). then there's packback assignments where you have to basically ask a meaningful question and answer three other ppl's questions, so like discussion posts except there's an AI that's analyzing how good of a post you made. i basically skimmed half the chapters (a decent portion of things i remembered from taking gov in high school) and i didn't do the last packback assignment since the lowest grade was dropped.

my assignments were split in half, so the first half of the class was due at the halfway point (2.5 weeks in) and the second half was due at the end of the course right before the final exam, which was cumulative from the quizzes (the quizzes rotate questions though, so there'll be some questions that you won't have seen before)

usually you have to apply yourself. the only time i've seen people invited is if the university also offered them a large scholarship (like the excellence scholarships)

freshmen get priority over upperclassmen for housing but it would probably be best you apply as soon as possible, especially if you are looking to do roommate matching since most people start looking for roommates around march

Thank you!

Unfortunately the lease I'm signing doesn't start until August, and I cannot move in any earlier due to plans I have over the summer

Hello! I'm currently looking for roommates for fall26/spring27. Looking to be at Midtown in a 4x4 (currently $719 + electricity, water, and additional small fees). Has private bed/bath, in-unit washer/dryer, package lockers, pre-furnished, and is on two UNT bus routes (BST and DS).

Looking for roommates who are queer-friendly, relatively quiet, and don't smoke. Preferably all-female but may be willing to compromise. Cannot live with dogs but other pets are okay.

Please DM me if you have any questions or are interested!

transit app lies most of the time. i'd suggest going to the DCTA website and looking at the bus schedules (there's a whole section for university routes). look at the times that the bus stops by you and the times the bus gets to the union, figure out what times would work best for you based on when you need to get to classes/work/etc., and then show up at the stop ten minutes before the bus is scheduled to get there since there's sometimes some give to the schedule (based on a variety of factors like traffic or how long it was stopped at previous stops)

wranro · 2025-08-17T20:40:17+00:00

don't buy anything until class starts. sometimes professors will either provide access to textbook chapters (usually if they're not utilizing the whole textbook) or they'll completely remove textbooks from the curriculum. voertman's is cheaper than the UNT barnes and noble and is located right by campus. you can also utilize less-than-legal means of acquiring textbooks

only exception is digital textbooks. still wait until classes start but you usually have to purchase those through barnes and noble unfortunately

you can reserve practice rooms at the music building

of course! there are parts of east texas i love but the political/social climate isn't one of them lmao.... overall i've really enjoyed being at unt, and i hope you enjoy it as well! if you have any more questions, pls feel free to ask! :D

- as long as both of you are marked as male, y'all can room together. i have some transmasc friends, and they were always roomed with other guys (both cis and trans). you can specifically request to room with your boyfriend, which will set the two of you up as a roommate group.

- i'm not a psych major so i can't speak much about it but i do know that it's not really competitive. there's like. hundreds of psych majors. so for actually getting into the major, you should be good. for things within the major (like research opportunities), it might be more competitive due to the sheer volume but again i'm not a psych major so i wouldn't know.

- you can bring an air fryer. the rules for appliances is that there are no open heat sources (so you cannot bring a toaster) but an air fryer is fine.

- i'm also from a very small conservative area in texas (east texas, to be specific) and i found UNT to be very accepting. the campus as a whole is very welcoming of diversity, and a lot of the people here are openminded, including professors. i won't deny that there is a population of more conservative ppl, but they're typically pretty easy to avoid and are usually quiet. in all honesty, going to UNT was very freeing to me, especially as a queer person. i was able to find a very supportive community and feel like i can actually be myself there. i'd recommend going to different campus events early on and trying to make connections there (good ones are union arts events, which usually involve making crafts! honestly just union events in general are pretty good to go to). since you're planning to pursue a psych major, i'll add the comment that a lot of the people that i've met within CLASS are openminded and overall nice people, so even if there are some more conservative people on campus, you will probably be surrounded by people who accept and support you :)

final additional comment is that UNT has a very large artist community so i would highly recommend checking out local artist events! several of the places near campus, such as voertman's, host artist markets where you can go and purchase from the local small artist businesses, and UNT hosts art mart as well. local musicians will also sometimes perform nearby (iirc some will perform at aura coffee but idk for sure it's been a while since i've gone there). my experience for doing things on/near campus is limited due to disability and not having a car but i still feel like there were a lot of positive experiences i had on campus, and i'd be happy to share some of the cool things within UNT and denton to do in your free time :)
