Texas Woman’s University

I’m so glad I decided to attend this college but we really need better parking. As a commuter I only go to the campus 2x a week after an hour drive and its frustrates me to park. This is my second semester so it’s a little easier to get around after trial and error.

Come for a preview day with my daughter. I like that the primary focus was on education rather than new buildings. However, the building was very dated. This is definitely a college she is considering.

I was at TWU for 2 years until I received my bachelor’s. All my professors were wonderful and I didn’t have issues with the administration offices. I enjoyed the environment. Parking was not so great but that’s at most universities.

Beautiful campus, challenging classes, lots of organizations to join, affordable tuition… what else can you ask for?
Thank you TWU– You’ve made me the woman I am today.

The financial aid and bursars office are constantly messing things up and will put you out so much money. Make sure you keep records of everything because they will charge you more than once if they can get the chance!

Finished… made it out with a stellar GPA and some personal growth. I pushed back a couple of times when I didn’t like some program processes, but objectively: I learned, I think I had a competitive advantage in internships, my skills were honed, and the way I conceptualize and think, transformed in a positive way. As a commuter student, I can’t speak to the on campus experience. I think the university/​FS program has opportunities for growth and enhancement, and I think the staff has room for some diversification and more of an emphasis on program/​process improvement and course offerings. Overall, good experience; just ensure you do your research before making a significant financial investment in pursuit of any post secondary education experience/​credential for employment in any industry. Will post an update as I continue to progress in the field and see the rewards/​costs of my education as they actualize.

Excellent facility and excellent staff. Both the indoor swimming pool and the Rec. Center itself are clean and well-​equipped. Equipment is very well maintained. Being a university, there is a high turnover of staff, but they are all exceptionally knowledgeable, helpful and friendly,.

My experience at this time is dictated by a single class required by TWU:
This is my first semester at TWU and I am a junior. I have had a very expected experience with many of the TWU classes I am enrolled in online. I have had an awful experience with a required women’s studies course entitled GENDER AND SOCIAL CHANGE, which should more appropriately be entitled LGBTQ theoretical studies. Within this class, the professor often requests opinions by asking «What do you think» or some form of «what might happen,» and then proceeds to distribute failing grades if your thoughts do not align with this professor’s personal views of LGBTQ theories. Also the required text for the course often compares white women to black women (in opposed to a variety of minority women) where black women are presented in derogatory descriptions that more closely reflects views held about black women in the 1960’s and earlier years. Additional assigned readings go as far as to question why 14yr olds are not taught how to enjoy the pleasures of sex. The thought of there being a teacher for these kids leads me to believe molestation is also being promoted but I digress. I have contacted the director, who responded quickly only to dismiss my concerns as a misunderstanding of the professor’s requests; although, the director was very kind and patient in addressing the situation. Hopefully, once this semester is over my experience will improve. This course is at most worthy of an offered elective, but certainly nothing that should be required.
P. S. I am not and am not likely to fail this class.

I have been at TWU for two years now; I previously had attended Oklahoma City University and Tarrant County College. I found all the staff open and friendly and most of the professors helpful. The school is located at a perfect spot in Denton and the neighborhood surrounding is kept up.
The small feel of the campus and many activities and organizations to keep any interested student active. Take a tour of the campus if you are interested. It is also special to be in classrooms where women outnumber the men (there are always a few in each class) and females take the reigns as classroom leaders.
The only downside is there are only a few athletic teams, all of them female. If you are interested in athletics as a male or coed, there are intramural teams.

I earned my BFA in graphic design at TWU.
My first year I lived at the main dorms. I had two different roommates and they were both less than stellar experiences, but that’s not the schools fault. The RAs were great though. The dorms themselves are not great. One giant room and a full bathroom (that was nice).
Campus is beautiful! I often had to walk from one side to the other for my art classes and didn’t mind it ever. It did seem to rain a lot, so rain boots were a good investment. The magnolia trees are crazy awesome in the spring.
Café food is meh. There’s a chick fil a on the top floor. A mini coffee bar that brews starbucks (short hours, long lines).
Most of my professors were great. I’d recommend checking
for any.
If you’re an art student, you’ll love Calabrese. Every other professor is great. I rarely had a TA and I love that the department heads even teach beginning level classes.

I had a bad experience the twu college of nursing. I applied to the msn program and never heard an acceptance or denial to the program. I contacted several people to look into my status and no one ever emailed me back. I am very frustrated about the situation. I also applied to uta and was accepted. The staff at uta responded quickly to my questions and actually responded to my emails. Very disappointment with how unprofessional twu was especially to a masters level application.

Well, my journey at TWU began when I needed a four year college that was closest to my home in Flower Mound. I am now a junior and a psychology major with a chemistry minor. My hope is to become an MD and get into psychiatry. Do not really spend much time on campus when I am not in class, and don’t really want to. Being from the Highland Village/​Flower Mound area, there is a drastic difference in community quality. I wouldn’t call it ghetto, rather industrial and working-​class. Students here are nice enough, but that does not make up for the lack of parking or the ability to get the classes you want. Every semester has been a nightmare getting my schedule the way I want it. Teacher to student ratio is awful as well! Also, if you are a commuter and get there past 10:00 am, expect to spend AT LEAST 20 minutes to find a parking space. All I can say is good thing I always have 8:00 classes! If you are thinking of a college in Denton County to go to, I would go to University of North Texas instead. Matter of fact, I am thinking of transferring to either University of Dallas AGAIN, or UNT.

I love TWU! It has great organizations such as G-​force. The campus is beautiful, specially the library. The classes are small and we’ll I noticed that it is not as expensive as other schools. It’s a great University.

I just recently complete my MBA. with an accounting emphasis here. Their evening and weekend classes made it possible for me to return to school while still working full time and all that other stuff adult life entails.
Although my graduate accounting courses did span over traditional semester lengths, all other courses lasted only six weeks. This helps you focus on one class at time instead of three, optimizing your study time and «free» time.
Most professors really look to keep the students engaged and help them hone in on higher levels of analytical thinking that is expected at the graduate level. Although some courses lend themselves more to the research aspect than others, all require extensive research. Courses that do require cumulative research throughout the semester were, interesting enough, my favorite courses. Requiring you to translate your research finding as one would communicate with their client (s) in the real world, helped me not only with the planning stage of research but also to think in stages ensuring all questions are answered thoroughly to avoid wasting costly time in future stages.
All graduate students know their writing skills will be put to the test. TWU does its best to ensure they produce graduate students with a higher level of poignant communication skills in a world that is overloaded with useless data and redundant information.

Beautifully landscaped campus, new fitness center that offers a indoor rock climbing wall among other things, the Outdoor Pursuits center rents out outdoor equipment to students for recreational use such as camping/​canoeing, parking can be difficult to find on certain days during peak times so head to class early, good variety of food choices in The Garden Room and The Underground (both in the Student Union).

This is the school for serious students. I did both an undergrad and graduate degree here.
Most of my professors were really nice. The department chairs remembered our names and what we were interested/​involved in as undergrads. My friends at other schools had to fight for this kind of attention even as PhD candidates.
I felt safe walking around the campus. The only thing I encountered at night was crickets. They can be vicious – literally leaping up on you. Unfortunately, the campus cops won’t arrest them.
It’s less expensive than Austin. And since Denton now has public transit, you’re able to get around town — even if you don’t have your own car. There is a bus system. A light rail line goes from downtown Dallas to the square.
Be sure to get out and about off campus.

I love, love, love TWU! I have been out of school for some time but still appreciate the fantastic education I received here. My B. S degree in Mathematics was from 1996 and I later went back for an MBA in 2003. The classes were always small with real professors teaching the majority of the classes (vs. grad assistant teaching the lower levels in some schools, ahem, UNT). Professors were always available and very knowledgeable. My TWU education has served me well in the job market, too. I was a little worried about having a smaller school on my resume but I’ve been surprised how many people have commented on the quality of students they have seen coming out of TWU. The math degree got my foot in the door to a successful career and the MBA qualified me for management and new opportunities as I moved into my mid-​career years.
Just thought I’d throw out a perspective from someone who’s been out of school for a while. An education is only as good as it continues to serve you beyond graduation and this one continues to serve me well.

TWU is a public school with a private feel without the private university’s high tuition cost. I had some reservations about coming here — I mean, a school full of women? No thanks! — but the school has really grown on me since attending my first class in August of 2010.
Since it’s such a small school, don’t be surprised if your professors know you by name during the 2^nd or 3^rd week of the semester. (Yes! They attempt to get to know you!!) The majority of the profs I’ve had in traditional class settings have, I feel, been qualified to teach their given subjects. Online? Well, let’s just say that I’ve had one professor who made me want to TP her house. Aside from that, you can really get one-​on-​one time here with the educators and you’re able to build relationships with them — which will become important when you come asking for a grad school letter of recommendation!
Texas Woman’s (or T-​Dub as the student population lovingly calls the school) is known for it’s nursing, health sciences and liberal arts programs. Their business school is the youngest, and least established of all programs, but continues to grow and create a name for itself.
LOVE their library. It is the most gorgeous thing I have seen. Downstairs is for group study so if you want silence, go upstairs. The higher you go, the quieter it is. They supposedly have Quiet Nazis.
Veterans: I don’t know if there is an active veteran club on campus (I should probably join if there is) but TWU is one of the friendliest schools for vets. A lot of my credits from my military days transferred over w/​o a glitch. The VA rep is approachable and he is able to relate to your problems as, duh, he’s a vet also. He’s not always in his office but he’ll reply to email as soon as he can. It’s such a small school that he’ll probably eventually know you by name if you come in enough (like I do).
The campus is safe. This I can assure you! I mean, it’s a university that is 95% women (don’t quote me on that percentage) — they’d have to be stupid not to make this campus safe! At night, I feel 100% comfortable walking to my car alone because the campus is VERY VERY well lit. Plus the campus cops are always patrolling and there is an emergency call-​button you can press anytime which immediately alerts campus PD.
Speaking of campus PD… They are *the* most finicky cops I have ever come across. I’ve never received more parking tickets in my LIFE until I enrolled at TWU. They are ruthless so watch where you park.
They just built a new gym. And it’s BEAUTIFUL!!! There is also rock climbing wall. :)
I second one reviewer — school spirit here is loooow! But they do have an active Greek life so if you’re into that, you can find it here.
Gorgeous campus. Very helpful staff and faculty who actually care about you. Laid back atmosphere.

Great education wise! Classes are small which gives room for the professor to get to know you and you can ask questions. I love the schedule, MW and TTH classes. There are night classes, satuday classes that meet about 4 times a semester, and a not many MWF classes. I don’t drive, but everyone complains about parking, no surprise there. You can’t really get lost, all the buildings are close together.
Out of class wise, TWU lacks school spirit and activities. They do hold events and activities, but rarely do they have high attendance. There are a few annual events that are worth going to. On campus food, is OK. It’s gotten much better over the years. Although it gets very crowded during lunch. On campus dorms aren’t too bad, unless you live in Stark and have the weekly fire alarms caused by burned popcorn due to really sensitive fire alarms. Living in Jones is more convienent being right next to the class buildings, student union and just down the stairs is the gym! Now the gym is small, the equipment inventory has increased in the past couple of years, but the gym hasn’t. Some machines are cramped together, but supposedly a new gym is in the works.
I like the majority of women because I don’t have to be distracted by men and it’s a more laid back atmosphere. Also the location is great, just 45min-​1hr from most places in the DFW metroplex.

Love, Love, Love TWU!
It took going to UNT, ACC, DCC and back to UNT to realize that I TWU was the place to go.
I was in my late 20’s when I transferred to TWU… I had outgrown the need to party and really wanted small classes, quality professors and a focus on education… TWU fit the bill. No other institution I had attended felt so «right». The professors and teachers were a phone call away if I had a question.
Plus, Denton was like a home away from home… I am from Austin and sorely missed it while at school… in Texas, Denton is the next best thing. Local business, friendly people and a fabulous town square.
Very highly recommended… any time someone asks about higher education in Texas, I am quick to mention my Alma mater.
My only regret is not picking up the t-​shirt on campus that said «TWU Football… Still Undefeated!»
