University of Memphis vs University of North Texas

The University of Memphis campus is located approximately 5 miles (8.0 km) east of downtown in the University District neighborhood of east Memphis. It has an area of 1,160 acres (4.7 km²), although this figure does not include the law school in the former United States federal customshouse in downtown Memphis, which opened in January 2010. The historic core of campus encompasses approximately 30 acres (120,000 m²).

Campus planners have significantly increased the amount of green space and the number of walkways over the past several years while maintaining the original historic architecture of the campus.

The main campus is located in Denton, TX, part of the largest metropolitan area in Texas, Dallas-Fort Worth. The campus is 1,200 acres, including the main campus north of I-35E, the Eagle point athletic complex south of I-35E, and Discovery Park, a research campus located between state highways 77 and 380.

Our students are always focused on their academics, but we have fun along the way. Lots of it. Outside of the classroom, this intimate campus is a vibrant, fun place to be—made up of diverse groups. You will live, play and connect in a classic college environment, with picnics on the quad, movies, cool concerts and other special events tailored to appeal to UofM Lambuth students. 

There's more to university life than going to class, studying at the library, excelling at a project, or acing tests. Students must also enjoy coffee meet-ups, art exhibits, theatre shows, finding the best pizza on campus, or joining in on a game with the “Mean Green Dodgeball Club” at the University of North Texas. The possibilities to learn interesting new things are as limitless as a student’s potential at UNT.

To help students relish their lives on campus, UNT offers many facilities. For example, the university has more than five hundred student organisations, counting 40+ societies/ alliances and 100+ academic honour societies. In addition, the campus has a bright student body comprising 32 new National Merit Finalists, 89 Terry Scholars, and 1,700 Honors College students.
