Does anyone know why the land between the new tennis center and the football practice fields is cleared off,  leveled and staked? Will this be a new parking lot?

New stadium?

New Dorm I believe.

I would hope not, we don't need it...

Actually we do.....

They are building I believe with that one being mentioned, a totally of 4 new dorms...with all of that, from what I hear there is still a waiting list....

Normally every year starts with a waiting list and then dwindles down...there is not a market for 4 dorms. Housing would lose money...

One dorm is being built to replace College Inn, which Cleopatra stayed in when the pyramids were being built.

Another is for the Honors Program. I say let those kiddos stay in their own dorm, I hated it how they always took up the first floor of Clark and then complained about the noise because of everyone walking down the halls.

There hasn't been an upper classmen only dorm in years because there has never been enough room for the ever growing freshmen classes.

Considering we've been building new dorms at a very good clip and still have a waiting list, I'd say there's plenty of demand for more beds.

How do you know there is a waiting list?  Do you work for housing?

Just curious why you feel they do not need new dorms? Do you work for housing?

There is a waiting list every year for housing, that is why University Courtyard and Jefferson Commons get so much business since they get the overflow or late applicants.

College Inn will be gone once the new dorm opens up next to them, as well as the 2 new dorms behind Clark and Maple.

I am a former RA who still has several high up contacts in Housing. I talked to one of them last night and basically there are 2 new halls planned one honors and one that is probably an upper-classman dorm. One near College Inn and the other behind Clark. Oh, and there is no waiting list...

but back to the original reason for the thread, what they are constructing on the other side of 35 is not a new dorm...

I worked for Central Housing about 2 years ago. I helped students with the registration and stuff.... they need more residence halls. Every year, Housing does have a waiting list, and beyond that, they have to give the okay for many freshmen to live in apartments because there just aren't enough beds.

Also, there are hundreds of foreign students who come through each year through the IELI program as well as several others. These students are older, have their own families oftentimes, and need a place to stay. Housing can't build family residences for them (although there's plenty of demand) because they don't have enough spaces for the traditional student. And in case you're wondering about my source there, that's from a direct conversation I had with Betsy Warren.

there are 6 student living apartments in denton now. the main reason we dont live on campus is there is not enough nice dorms to live in, no graduate dorms. There is a high demand for dorms.

* Those will be rec fields

* The school is planning to build more dorms

* The school has to do this because the THECB has told the school to prepare to have enrollment explode over the next 10-15 years

* Neither the THECB nor any other part of the state has told the school how the infrastructure for the exploding enrollement is supposed to be paid for.

* If your wondering why the new president is talking about streamlining the university, cutting overhead, college consolodation, etc and not something like expanding athletic spending, this is one of the major reasons why.

* if you wondering why so many k-12 and high learning institutions are in dire need of funds while the state is sitting on a 8 to 15 BILLION dollar surplus, so are alot of other people.

all dorms need to be close in so that a closer knit university has a chance. I saw tcu was now embracing this concept and building parking garages. Baylor and smu have done this and it is time for us to try to keep our campus from as much sprawl like a@m as possible-- even as growth continues.

Like maybe a UNT/TWU merger? What a waste of $$ to have duplicate programs 5 miles apart. We could rival A$M in size with a merger and perhaps get Denton off it's duff with support in a single college town rather than what we have now with two Universities.

This is true people who stay in Victory which is just across th highway seem to be 30 minutes away. During the day you have to wait in line for the buses, at night you have to wait every 30 minutes, and parking sucks. We need to buy some of the bad houses and apartments around the campus and build dorms there.

We dont need to merge with TWU we need to take it over. so many twu students come to unt anyways.

They are building new buildings across the HWY b/c the land is much cheaper, Rafes wanted to buy up Concrete City behind West and Santa Fe but at $1 million an Acre it is pretty pricey for a bunch of run down apartments.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
