Recreation Center
The Pohl Recreation Center — the size of two football fields — includes weight and cardio areas, two pools, aerobics rooms, climbing wall, jogging track, soccer gym, basketball courts and more. It’s like having an automatic health club membership.
Living on campus
Several of our 14 residence halls set aside rooms for transfer students, including Legends Hall, where our Transfer REAL community is located. If you plan to live on campus, apply early because there is usually more demand for housing than space available. Transfer students who have completed two semesters of college or who have been out of high school for one year are not required to live on campus. For more information, visit the Housing website.
Living off-campus
Denton has more than 100 apartment complexes, many within walking distance of campus or served by the campus shuttle system. You can access our online guide to off-campus housing or learn more about services offered for off-campus students.
Transportation & parking
Many students drive to campus, which is 40 miles from Dallas and Fort Worth on Interstate 35. Parking permits are available at different rates. UNT also features 2,500 bicycle parking spaces and several bike repair stations.
The Denton County Transportation Authority's A-train rail service connects Carrollton and Lewisville to downtown Denton. Bus routes, free to UNT students, connect the rail station to campus. Other services include an on-call late night shuttle, a ridesharing website and a car rental program. For more information, visit our Transportation and Parking website.
Safe campus
UNT works hard to be a safe campus. We provide a well-lighted campus, officers on bicycles, 79 emergency call boxes, police escorts at night and an emergency contact system to notify you in case of an emergency or campus closing.
