Video Transcript: What's up everybody? We're coming to you from Denton, Texas. This is YOUniversity TV, and I'm Nicole Erin. And I'm Sheana Jean, and it is easy being green on the campus of the University of North Texas. Let's see what else the Eagles have to offer. All right. The University of North Texas is set in the urban setting of Denton, Texas, a student-friendly college town only 35 miles north of the nation's fourth largest metropolitan area, Dallas/Fort Worth. The University of North Texas is located in a classic tree-lined university setting on 866 acres. UNT works hard to be safe. Eagle Alert sends messages to faculty, staff, and students by email, text or phone to let them know if there's an emergency happening on campus. UNT is the state's fourth largest university with nearly 35,000 students enrolled from 140 different countries and all 50 states. Thirty-five percent of the student body is of diverse backgrounds, and UNT is one of only nine US universities that enroll more than 4,000 Hispanic students and 4,000 African-American students. Despite having a very large student population, I think we are very personable in terms of smaller sized class sizes, so we get much more student/teacher interactions. And I think that a lot of students have many more opportunities for research over here than they might at some of the other schools. The average student successfully admitted to the University of North Texas is in the top quarter of their graduating high school class with an 1100 on the SAT or an ACT of 24. UNT has been named one of America's best college buys by providing a private school experience at a public school cost with in-state residents paying about $7,000 and those coming from out of state paying closer to $15,500. North Texas offers 99 bachelors, 104 masters, and 49 doctoral degrees. Some of the most popular among students are business, computer science, visual arts, music, and education. I've gotten involved as far as research work is concerned. I've gotten to know my professors. They've been able to tell me about their own experiences. And actually get some hands on experience, as well as some just lecture and theory. So I feel pretty prepared. UNT has the oldest and best jazz program in the nation. They travel all over the world to perform. And lucky for us, we get to go inside and listen. We do about a thousand concerts a year here at the University of North Texas, which is pretty extraordinary when you think about the number of programs we have. And it's everything from solo recitals to what we call departmental recitals. We have bands, and orchestras, and choruses, and opera. UNT has the largest play/therapy training program in the world. What's play/therapy? Well, play/therapy is to children what counseling is to adults. Children play just like adults talk to communicate to each other. That sounds like fun. It sure is. North Texas employs over 1600 faculty members. 849 hold their PhDs and 539 are tenured. They make the classes enjoyable. One of the things, we're a larger university. So you do have a lot of large classes. But one of the things they've really focused on here is making the large classes feel small. And the faculty have taken that to heart. And that makes us really different and really makes our faculty shine. Because even though you might be in a class of 300, you're gonna feel like you're very close with your faculty member. They're available for you. They're going to recognize you in class. The UNT Mean Green compete at the Division I-A level as a member of the Sun Belt Conference. From 2001 to 2004, UNT won four straight Sun Belt Conference football championships. I love doing the Eagle caw. Caw-caw! Everyone just gets really involved. And you know, it's a fun time for everyone. Students can choose from 14 traditional, co-ed, and upper-class halls. Plus there are a number of Greek houses on campus that provide student living quarters. I lived on campus for two years actually. Lived at Clark Hall, hey! I loved living on campus. It's really social, so you know, if you're a bubbly person, you want to chat a lot, good to live on campus, 'cause it's definitely a social atmosphere. There are over 300 student organizations on campus, including 30 fraternities and sororities. Or you can get involved in some club sports. Caw-caw! I never expected to come to school and have the opportunity to host my own TV show or been president of two organizations or to be my own tour guide on campus, you know, and meet with Dr. Battaille who's the president of the university. I never thought I would be able to do those things. And UNT has really provided those opportunities for me. One thing I do in my fraternity is we do a lot of step shows, and I'm normally the one that puts on, makes up the steps and the routine and the show and whatnot. That's always really fun. Alpha! Caw-caw! No, I mean, you're completely right. I have to start thinking more positively. This has been so much better than watching those reruns of Dr. Phil. Speaking of notable alumni, Grammy award winner Norah Jones also went to UNT. Want some unique study opportunities? Then here's my advice. Discover what's cool at the University of North Texas. And what could be cooler than the North Texas cheerleaders sending us off on our way? Go Green! U-N-T! U...U-N...U-N-T! U...U-N...U-N-T! Go Texas! Go Green! Caw-caw!
