What Students Say?
Likes
- UTA has the best resources and faculty related to civil engineering.
- Diversity and hunger to do big in life is what UTA has taught me. When I was in India I did have goals and ambitions but after graduating from UTA it has taught me how to achieve our goals. UTA has taught me how to live independently without relying on an employer.
Dislikes
- Too many Indians is what I disliked the more as the campus is filled with Indians and it would affect or have an impact on the holistic development of the individual. Basically people from travelling to another country to study or work its important to get used to the culture of that place or state but in UTA majority of the students are from Asia and the Middle East. This may not be something that everyone dislikes.
Overall experience is good, just as every university UTA has it ups and downs but I would prefer to attend the university with more diversified students.
Course Curriculum
UTA is in the top 10% regarding civil engineering courses and they have done a lot of research in geotechnical, structural and traffic engineering.
Exams
My GRE score is 300 (taken in 2018) (verbal - 142, quants - 158) IELTS score is 7.5 (writing - 6, listening - 7.5, reading - 8.5, speaking -7) (taken in 2017). LORs, SOP are a must as they are the indicators about who we are. Do not copy SOP from peers, be honest and express who you are and why you want to pick a certain course. No interviews required apart from the visa interview at the consulate.
Placement
I have not been to campus placements as they are not suggestible to the average students like me. LinkedIn is a great platform to find a job. Being from UTA it is easier to get hired.
Fees
$36000 including tuition and living expenses.
Faculty
Mr. Abomali, Ms. Kermensachi and the professor for sustainable engineering are the top faculty in terms of research.
Campus Life
Campus life is great, all you need is nearby and being in the state of no public transport, the university provides shuttle rides across the city. Infrastructure is top-notch and extra curriculars are great too.
Hostel
There is campus housing available but its hard to get in but there are numerous apartments to rent around the university.
