Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot Every teacher will take the time to help their students if you let your presence be known to them. They will help you to reach your goals and better understand the course material. If you introduce yourself to them and show genuine interest in passing their class, they will keep their eye on you and be very helpful. In addition to learning inside the class, you learn alot about how other people from different backgrounds differ from yourself and it helps to make you a more well rounded person.
Am enjoying being here The city is a very college oriented city with both Texas Woman's and Univ. of North Texas being a few miles from each other. There a many things to do since the weekend begins on Thursday night. There are lots of places to eat and there is always something to get into that's affordable and safe.
Bang for the buck TWU is not as expensive as other universities but you learn just as much- if not more!
Tips for prospective students Apply for financial aid EARLY! Get to know your advisers before classes begin. Visit the campus to see if you feel you will like it there. Talk to current students who are majoring in what you intend to major in.
Great for these types of students TWU is a great school for any one who doesn't want the cost and hassle of the larger universities, but still would like the feel of one. It is a very cozy home away from home. It has a friendly atmosphere, it's not very expensive, and if you are a Health Science major, this is one of the top schools to choose from- especially Nursing and Kinesiology.

Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot I am truly learning a lot here. The teachers are for the most part very helpful and determined not only to get you an A, but to get you to learn.
Am enjoying being here The campus is wonderful, it is a very small campus...and you can get from one end to the other in under 10 minutes by foot. Most of the buildings are very old and give it the real college campus feel. Most people are very friendly here and very social.
Bang for the buck This is a great deal for a 4-year university! Compared to most others in Texas.
Tips for prospective students If you're going for Nursing here, you need to be competitive. This college's main degree I would say is Nursing, which is both good and bad.

Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot Every single one of the professors is dedicated to serving you and making your college experience great. They answer any and all questions you throw at them and truly care about how you're doing in their class.
Am enjoying being here I absolutely love it here! Not only is it a BEAUTIFUL campus, but it's small too! Having a small campus is so great because you never have to worry about being late to class or having to park 5 miles away.
Bang for the buck I have been really surprised by the low tuition. The teachers and classes are spectacular, while costs stay relatively low.
Tips for prospective students Take yourself seriously! Really work for what you want, and you will excel in all your walks.
Great for these types of students Hardworking, friendly, and dedicated.

Alelia from Mesquite, TX
Reviewer is A current student here.
Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot Pride, dignity, and liberation are words that come to mind when I think about Texas Woman’s University. This school has a personal goal to make sure that every man and woman that attends knows of the struggles woman went through in the past and the subliminal messages that keep them beautifully ignorant today. This school is serious about what it stands for and the education its students will receive. You will be surrounded by educational stimuli everyday. There is no way you can attend Texas Woman’s University without learning something that may change the way you see life forever.
Am enjoying being here TWU is not a party school. In fact, our definition of fun is helping an organization in need or debating about the hottest topic. However, this also means attending this school can feel like all work and no play. If you are not careful, you can overwork and stress yourself out here.
Bang for the buck TWU is not too expensive and they have great financial aid and scholarship opportunities. However, paying for an expensive parking sticker when there is barely parking can make you irritable. Paying over a thousand dollars for a food card when the food hardly changes and does not offer enough healthy alternatives can also make your irritable.
Tips for prospective students Find friends that have your same goals in mind. Watch who your friends are because you do not want to have conflict in a small school this can make things uncomfortable and awkward when you run into someone you just got into argument with the previous day.
Keep yourself busy by joining various organizations and communities around school. This makes you feel better about not going to parties and getting drunk every Friday night.
Look for an apartment your sophomore year of college. TWU has a new policy where they will not allow you to live in the dorms if you are 21 or a junior/senior. The on campus apartments can be too hard and very expensive to get into. Get ahead of the game. You are better off finding a cheaper apartment and a roommate to split the cost with in apartments around Denton.Great for these types of students Students interested in Nursing or any other medical major.
Students who are serious about their education.
Students who do not find homecoming and football games important
Commuter students: TWU is a great school for commuters who live in the area.
Students with a family or Nontraditional students: This school is no stranger to nontraditional students. I had a woman in my class who was 55 and we are great friends today! We also have a daycare and a playground for children. However, I would not recommend the daycare because I have heard that they cost too much money and only watch your children for a small amount of time. I still say this school is great for students who have a family because our classes teach so much about family structure, and child development.Login to rate or flag the reviews

Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot I have learned so much in my freshman year here it's AMAZING. The teachers are great and are willing to help you with any problems you are having. There are centers to go to for writing help and much more.
Am enjoying being here If you love what you're doing then everyday is enjoyable here. As a Music Therapy major, my classes are very enjoyable and hard working. Class is such a friendly environment.
Bang for the buck This is very inexpensive. I don't have any scholarships but it's very manageable for me. Compared to other schools the cost is GREAT!!
Tips for prospective students just remember to always keep your focus cap on ,because you are here to work on getting that well earned degree. Make sure to have everything organized so deadlines are not missed. Form study groups if you need help studying. Always remember to have some time for yourself. You'll need a break in between sometimes so don't stress!!!!
Great for these types of students If you are competitive academically TWU is the school for you. We are all students determined to get good grades and hold high achievements.

Bang for the buck Financial Aid- Turn things in before the deadline. Also, look for scholarships. They all add up.

Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot I am learning more here then I thought I would. I was so nervous that I wouldn't be able to keep up, but the teachers here are amazing. They really know how to explain things in a way that you can understand.
Am enjoying being here I absolutely love Texas Woman's University. It's a beautiful campus and the staff here is amazing. Everyone is so nice and they do everything possible to help you with anything you need. I am very happy with my choice to go here. It was my first and only college choice, as soon as i took my tour of the campus all other choices went out the window. I knew that this is where I belonged.
Bang for the buck The cost to attend is not that bad either. It's definitely not as expensive as most schools but its not real cheap. I come from a family with not a lot of money, but Texas Woman's University is definitely worth every penny we pay.
Tips for prospective students You'll love it here. There are so many organizations to get involved with and help you find your home here. Everyone you meet will make you feel so welcome. This place is home to many now and we're just waiting to open our doors to whoever else would like to join our big family.
Great for these types of students Texas Woman's University is a great school for any type of student. There are many programs to help you find help if you need it or just a place to turn to if you need to talk. They offer everything you need.

Maurnica from Missouri City, TX
Reviewer is A current student here.
Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot I went to this school for the nursing program, which they are well known for. Its challenging, but there are so many resources to get help, like the SLRC for science classes and the Write Site for when you need help with your essays and the Math Lab which are full of graduate students to help you. The teachers welcome you coming to their office hours (my Chemistry professor helped me not fail :). I believe that when I graduate I will feel equipped and not feel like I missed out on something.
Am enjoying being here I started out at the Denton, TX campus, and I loved it! I love the diversity of the student body, people from all walks of life and even from outside the US. The campus is small, and really gorgeous with flowers and trees and benches to sit on. Every building can be walked to easily. The transit system is free for college students. Also the nightlife is pretty nice, and there are little places to have fun at, like the Town Square, with little shops and thrift stores. The food places are amazing, and many places give student discounts (ask about it!). It has that small town feel, which I love, seeing as how I am from Houston. Also, Fort Worth and Dallas are only 45 minutes away.
Bang for the buck Tuition does go up every year, but what college doesn't? Right now for Fall 2011, tuition and fees for undergrad resident students taking about 12 hours (full time) is $2,714.32. That is not including housing. You can check it out here: http://www.twu.edu/bursar/6107.asp
Tips for prospective students I recommend coming to visit, if you go to the website there are many, many opportunities for open house. At open house you get to tour the campus, check out the dorms and really get a feel for the campus and ask questions. Visit Denton and drive around to get familiar with it. Learn where Walmart, Target and other popular stores are. If you are car-less, learn the bus schedule and stops.
Great for these types of students I believe TWU and Denton, TX is an awesome place for first time students especially. The campus is small and not overwhelming and there are many clubs and organizations that cater to any and everyone (its also a great way to meet people). The dorm life is welcoming with many activities right in the dorms. I also recommend TWU for students with families (there is family housing available right on campus) and for International students (they really cater to them here with the International Student organization, and the fact that there are many students from outside the US).

Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot As an education major, I am learning nothing!! I have recently switched to a general studies major with concentrations in English, history, and business and I hope to learn more from those classes.
Am enjoying being here I commute from almost two hours away so I do not have much time to be on campus... However the people are very nice and helpful, and if I could, I would live on campus in order to be more involved.
Bang for the buck I got the Honors scholarship and it pays for a lot of my tuition. They require a lot from you, though!!
Tips for prospective students You should apply for the Honors program. They're nice and like to keep tabs on how you are doing.
Great for these types of students Non-traditional students (work a lot), over achieving students, hard-working students

Natalie from Garland, TX
Reviewer is A current student here.
Categories Rating Comments In three sentences it has a wonderful program for the students, and they make sure that no matter what your problem is to help you deal with it. they have many oppertunities for the students to get involved no matter what it is. they truly care about your education, and about your well being.
Tips for prospective students make sure the school is within your budget. attend your classes because the professors are great. be sure to check your email a lot because the school holds a lot of free events for the students on holidays, and various other times throughout the year. study for your tests, and don't slack because while some classes may be challenging the things you take from them are life altering.
Academic Rigor they do have some professors that are difficult, but they teach you so much from the actual subject to life tips. they make sure you have the best things to your advantage while making your education there affordable. you must attend you classes regularly in order to pass your tests, and you must read your text books. i have to find a professor i did not like. most professors will help you if you go to them. i like to sit in the front of my classes that way the professor knows my face. it's always a good thing to introduce yourself to them and get involved in the class discussions.
Dorm Life the people in the doors are really friendly. i have yet to hear about any drama between very many people living in them. they are well kept, clean, and very calm. they are a great place to relax after class or work. while it may not be your home you still feel comfortable there.
Food and Dining the food is really tasy and healthy at the same time. the underground, which is the cafeteria, has a wide selection of food. they provide something for everyone, and tehy make sure that if you have a food allergry or are a vegetarian that you still have food available that still tastes good. they are very clean, and the workers there are really sweet people, and they are willing to help you with whatever you need.
What to do for fun the school always has something going on from actuvities in the student union to various speakers visiting the school. they have all kinds of really cool, and unique things for the students that allow you to relax, while getting to meet new people. there's always something going on at least two or three times a month.
Bang for the buck the money you pay to attend the school is worth it from your tuiion to the activities that they host. they make sure you get your moneys worth while having a fun time at the school.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus before your first end of the semester exams they have a thing called mignight breakfast.. it starts at ten at night and is over at midnight. they give awy all kinds of cool prizes, have photo boothes, characature artists, and even massages! it's really fun and everyone comes away with something. for halloween they give away bags of candy, and for valentine's day they pass out roses and chocolates to everyone. the holiday celebrations usually happen in the underground. there's so much interesting things to do, and visit on campus. it's a lot of fun.
Great for these types of students it's great for artistic people like theater majors.
it's also known for it's nursing and education program.
it's cost affordable compared to other universities.
great for nontraditional students. i see so many people who either are older than the normal age group or are mothers with childrn. they have a great program for mother's who need day care during their classes.
students who are serious about their education.
people who don't find sports and parties important. it is not a party school.Campus Safety twu is a really safe community. denton in general is safe, and few residents of deonton rarely lock their door. nothing dangerous really goes on around campus, but i always stay on the safe side. there's an on site police office with patrols on campus, along with various areas where you can go to so that you can alert the police if you are in danger.

John from Endicott, NY
Reviewer is Accepted here and planning to attend soon. Reviewer has not been to campus.
Categories Rating Comments In three sentences Texas Woman's University's application process was simple and straightforward. The faculty and staff have been very professional and accommodating. I am excited to be attend TWU!!
Tips for prospective students I recommend communicating with as many people as possible. Communicate in a clear and concise manner. Tell the faculty and staff what you need.
Academic Rigor I have not started classes yet, but I expect since I am in a doctoral program that my classes will be challenging.
Dorm Life I do not plan on living in a dorm as I am a non-traditional student. But, having lived in dorms in college and in barracks and onboard ships in the Marine Corps, patience is a must.
Food and Dining I cannot speak of the food and dining yet, as I have not been on campus. But, I gather it is as acceptable as any other campus I have visited. Food is better when it is first prepared and the later you wait the less options you will have.
What to do for fun There are many activities and sporting events held on campus and the City of Denton is very active.
Bang for the buck I believe TWU provides a top quality education for the cost of attendance.
Great for these types of students The university is great for female students, as it was once an all women's college. The university is one of the top, if not the top schools for Adapted Physical Education. The faculty to student ratio is very accommodating.
Clubs and Activities As a veteran and new student, I am already receiving emails from other veterans and non-tradional students. This makes the environment warm and inviting. People want to help you meet your goals.
Greek Life I have never been involved with Greek Life. So, I cannot adequately comment on the subject.

Monika from Frisco, TX
Reviewer is A current student here.
Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot Your professors are willing to help you, they are very accessible and it feels more like a small community college that is actually a University. I feel that being around more female students has forced me to be more competitive about my grades and overall this school has been amazing
Am enjoying being here Student life here is pretty good, the sororities are always present in the student union, although I think there should be more than just 3. The Social Work Program is amazing and tution is relatively cheap compared to other universities in the metroplex area.
Bang for the buck CHEAPEST IN THE DFW METROPLEX
Tips for prospective students classes tend to be on the smaller side if you are a junior transferring in from a community college. I haven't been to a freshman seminar but hear they are still really good.
Great for these types of students I think this University is good for all students, but particularly for women who want to challenge themselves. The professors are great, classes are actually rewarding.

Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot TWU is an amazing school. The teachers are helpful and they care about you. With most small sized classes you often get one-on-one time with your teacher. I always due and they have a variety of helpful places you can go to get tutoring.
Am enjoying being here The campus is safe, and they have a lot of activities every month. There is almost something to do everyday here. They provide the best and encourage participation.
Bang for the buck TWU is a very affordable school they work with you and give out a ton of scholarships which are a benefit and jobs on-campus that could also cover some of the price of the school.
Tips for prospective students Make sure you choose your roommate wisely, make sure you have a good schedule. Meet all your teachers and make sure to take advantage of every opportunity that the school offers you will really appreciate it.

Jodi from TX
Reviewer is Researching this school. Reviewer has been to campus.
Categories Rating Comments Will learn a lot Whenever I mention TWU, people tend to respond positively. Almost everyone seems to know about this college. It has a great reputation! And when I looked at the basic course plan for the occupational therapy program, it sounded really exiting. There are lots of internships planned right into the program, and many cool classes. There seems to be a great balance between hands-on and textbook work.
Will enjoy being here The campus is gorgeous. I can't wait to explore it on my own. It's small, with lots of safety precautions taken, so I don't need to worry about my safety all the time, but has very rich history. Beautiful trees for the hot Texas summers, too!
Bang for the buck You get lots of amenities with your stay at the college, like huge indoor and outdoor pools, a kitchen; a big, beautiful library; you name it. Plus it's a pretty well-recognised school, so having TWU on your resume someday could really pay off.
Tips for prospective students A friend who was just accepted at TWU recently told me that the people at the college will really push to get you to stay on campus, but as both of us said, why? If you live close by, don't let them pressure you into spending a whole bunch of extra money.
Also, tour the campus WAY ahead of time so you can really get an idea of what it's like there!Great for these types of students Ambitious, active students of all ages. Great school for occupational therapy and nursing.

Categories Rating Comments Did learn a lot Some professors really did step out of their way to help students. Also class sizes are tiny so you have a easier time concentrating and learning.
Did enjoy being here School is majorly BORING!! One maybe two events held a year,and you must have a social life through North Texas University which is two minutes away.
Bang for the buck Pretty well price school, but you'll be miserable there.
Tips for prospective students Don't attend the school
Great for these types of students Students who like old, dirty dormitory's, like being surrounded by 99.9% girls and .1% gay males, like a small country town, and who like being bored out of their minds.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences This college is very academic driven, however fun. The professors get to know you and the campus is pretty small, so no getting lost. I give this college a 8
Tips for prospective students Make sure you stay focus and really get to know your professors and your academic adviser personally
Academic Rigor This campus is all about academics and helping be where you need to be. free tutoring is offered through out the entire semesters
Dorm Life I lived in the dorm my first year and it was okay. I did not personally like living in the dorm because i want my own things. But other than that it was good.
Food and Dining The food is good. Plenty of options and there is even a store located inside the dorm buildings. Kind of like a 7 eleven
What to do for fun Always has some kind of events going on the student union. Also there are two main areas located on the first floor of the dorms that have flat screen tv's. People always host mini parties down there

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences The environment at TWU is wonderful; it feels very peaceful, relaxing, and you feel comfortable being there. It's a smaller school, but you are able to get to know people better. Finally, the professors there are willing to help with your academics if asked about them.
Tips for prospective students When scheduling classes, do it as soon as possible because the classes do go fast. Take a mixture of your rigorous courses and your easy courses each year that they can balance each other out. Study at least for 2 hours on a subject so your prepared for your assignments.
Academic Rigor If a studnet truly studies the subject or knows the subject at hand, that student will be successful in that subject area.
Dorm Life It takes about 2 minutes waiting for the elevator, but as long as you have friends within the university, life in the dorms in enjoyable.
Food and Dining If you love food, you will enjoy the meal plans at Texas Woman's University. Especially upstairs in the student union. There's Chick-fil-a, a garden room full of a salad bar, pizza stand, sandwich stand, and Tex-Mex food stand. And there is also the Underground, where there's a buffet of food to choose from.
What to do for fun In the student union, there's a pool table, a Foosball table, and air hockey in the Underground.
Bang for the buck Texas Woman's University has one of the lowest tuitions in the state of Texas for a university. This is one of the reason's why I attend the school.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The campus has a beautiful scenery. There's a gorgeous blue water fountain near the library, a relaxing trail to walk along, a stunning chapel called The Little Chapel in the Woods, which is where many weddings are held, and a tranquil pond to sit near when you need peace and quit.
Campus Safety TWU has the best security on the campus. You will feel very safe being on the campus. Everyone is friendly, and nice to one another.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences Texas Woman's University is an amazing school that has great programs. This school meets the needs of the students when it comes to academic achievement. The teacher and staff work their best to help the students succeed.
Tips for prospective students Make sure you understand that this school is mainly women and if you are uncomfortable with that then it is something to think about. If you are truly here to lean then utilize all the resources on campus.
Academic Rigor Great
Dorm Life Dorm life has some issues but it is all around a great experience. The rooms and buildings are nice and most of the people are good to live with.
Food and Dining While there aren't a lot of good on campus choices for food there are plenty off campus. There is a strip with places ranging from McDonald's to Cracker Barrel.
What to do for fun Besides hanging out with friends on campus there are outside activities that students can do for fun. There are movie theaters,bowling alleys,clubs, and hang-out spots all around Denton.
Bang for the buck This isn't a very expensive school so I believe it is worth every penny to go here.
Campus Safety The campus is very safe. There is a police station on campus and officers patrolling all the time.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences TWU has some of the best teachers I have ever experienced. Through my classes and the sorority I joined I met some of my best friends I have ever had at TWU. I received my undergrad degree here and am returning to take more prerequisites here before going off to graduate school, because I know TWU will prepare for my future.
Tips for prospective students The best advice I have is to become active in anything that interests you on campus! A few years ago the campus would be dead on weekends because everyone goes home on weekends, but there are still activities planned. It is a great way to meet people and get to know the city of Denton.
Academic Rigor It's college! There are project's, papers, tests...and its tough, but if you use time management and a planner/calender you will be fine. Just relax and make some time for your self as well as focusing on school work.
Dorm Life It has it's pros and cons. I hated it until my very last roommate my first year. My last roommate and I got along great. I think the key to having a good experience with a roommate is setting boundaries and setting rules with one another.
Food and Dining I learned at an orientation day that the university plan was the way to go, and I stuck with that my 4 years of under grad, and I recommend that. Also, anytime there is a midnight breakfast during exam week...go! It is so much fun, relaxing, and free food!
What to do for fun The Denton square is fun, great food, bars (if your of age), and an amazing ice cream place called Beth Maries. There is a studio movie grill type place on University that is fun, along with a movie theater in Lewisville that has College Night on Thursday.
Greek Life There are 3 main Greek sororities and many other sororities on campus, such as a Latino sorority, and African American sorority, etc., which are all Greek. Being in a sorority is a great way to get involved on campus, meet people, and looks great on resumes. Plus it is a lot of fun!
Campus Safety The campus is very well light and one of the safest campus out there. There are emergency call booths all over campus, so if you do not feel safe, do not hesitate to hit the button on the booth and a cop will come and escort you back to your car or dorm.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences TWU is a beautiful campus with a homey atmosphere. I was very satisfied with my experience, and I definitely saved a lot of money attending here. They have a wonderful health science dept. (PT, OT, Nursing, Speech pathology, Kinesiology, Child Dev, etc.).
Tips for prospective students Get a campus job to gain work experience, to network with faculty and staff, and put some money in you pocket. The Honor's Program is really good and Dr. Litton, Beth, and Janie are always willing to help and talk to interested students.

Dorm Life I loved the dorms and NET (neighbors educated together) and LLC (Living and Learning Communities) help you to know everyone on your floor and take a few classes together to become closer as floormates and friends.
Food and Dining Mainly food is found in only the student union. There is a buffet on the underground level, chick-fil-a, coffee shop, and garden room on the second floor. The garden room serves pizza, soups, sandwiches, etc.
What to do for fun Cinemark is $3.50 for students on Thursdays in Denton. Movie tavern is a great place to dine and watch a movie as well. During spring semester there is a Jazz & Arts festival which is really fun and low cost and is walking distance from campus!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The library is beautiful and a great place to study. There is a garden that is so beautiful in bloom during the spring, a pond, and a small little park with huge trees.
