One of the great strengths of UNT is that it serves both the
traditional entering students and a diverse mix of "metropolitan students". This
diverse group of students makes for a dynamic campus environment and fun college
experience for all students. On-campus and convenient affordable off-campus housing
must continue to be addressed as UNT grows.
- Keep a strong presence of on-campus and close to campus
housing for traditional students, adult and married students, and faculty. Affordable
student housing helps to eliminate one of the barriers to higher education access. Close
to campus housing also minimizes parking demand and congestion.
- Increase the number of on-campus beds from 4,000 to 6,000 by
year 2015.
- Continue the phased in upgrades of existing student housing
to include state of the art access to the UNT computer and information networks.
- Continue to encourage well-maintained private housing near
the campus. Encourage private / public partnerships to increase student housing.
- Sororities and fraternities are important elements of the college
experience for some students. The redevelopment area to the southeast of the campus is an appropriate
area for sororities and fraternities to keep them close to the campus, but not in the campus core.
