UT Tyler - A Fast Growing University in Tyler Texas

My Time At UT Tyler

I went to UT Tyler about 8 years ago and the size difference is like night and day. I cannot believe how much bigger the University has become. The Gym is amazing and the departments just keep expanding. The sports programs were non-existent when I went there as it was just a 2 year University. They also have a very large theatre facility that looks like something from a large University like UT Austin. Very prestigious speakers and plays come through the facility and all in all UT has really added a lot to Tyler. Now it is a 4 year University and ever since it has become a 4 year the pace of student population growth is beyond most of Tyler Residents expectations. UT is at the top of the list of Texas Universities in both quality education and winning athletic programs.

UT Tyler - Not A Party School

UT Tyler is not a party school or considered easy. I went there and had a tough time getting through my classes without putting in some effort. The teachers are great and will really teach you what you will need before actually getting out in the workforce. I learned more at UT then at any of the other schools I went to. There is another school in East Texas in Nacogdoches by the name of SFA. This school has the parties and is much easier then UT but if I had to pick I would go with UT as you will actually learn something at UT. I hate to bad mouth SFA and I am sure they have some good programs but their business and engineering program has no match to the University of Texas at Tyler.

Sports Program On The Grow

Also, lookout as UT Tyler will slowly but surely suck in some very talented East Texas athletes into their athletic program as it continues to expand at a rapid pace. This school is fun to watch grow and only a couple years shy of seeing some quality athletic sports teams take shape in football, baseball and basketball.
