125 Things We Love About UNT

September 30, 2015

To help commemorate our 125th anniversary and our rich history, traditions and culture, we asked alumni, students, faculty, staff and other friends what they love most about UNT.

What we learned is that while the campus map, fashions, music and technology have changed through the years, our caring community and individual curiosity have not.

Students seek out UNT for our top-notch academic programs and esteemed faculty, but also for our culture of creativity and quirkiness that can't be found anywhere else. And they stay and flourish in our campus community that welcomes all types of people and allows anyone to feel at home.

Danielle Godwin ('12) summed it up for us in her submission: "One of the things I love most about UNT is the wide variety of students and faculty who make up the fun-loving population. Their quirks, attitudes and passions are what rounded out my experience at UNT beyond academic to life changing. Thanks for the memories!"
