UTA UT Arlington Mavericks Diverse Urban Commuter Vibrant Friendly Tradition

Established in 1895, the University of Texas at Arlington is a high-activity research institution committed to producing lifelong learners and critical thinkers. With over 180 degree programs, more than 300 student organizations, Mavericks sports teams, and one of the most diverse campuses in the United States, UTA offers something for everyone.

Primarily a commuter campus, UTA is accessible from I-20, I-30, and Highway 360. If you’re looking to live closer to campus to avoid parking woes, consider looking for apartments near the buildings you frequent the most. School of Social Work students and faculty should seek accommodations on the north side of UTA, near West Abram Street, while those spending time at the College of Science or the College of Nursing and Health Innovation should stick to the south side of campus, near South West Street.

There are plenty of things to do on UTA’s urban campus. You can watch football games at Maverick Stadium and basketball games at College Park Center, check out the Planetarium on campus, and catch a performance at Rosebud Theater.
