Despite its name, the UTD main campus is located in the Dallas suburb of Richardson, Texas, just adjacent to the city of Dallas' northern limits. However, a satellite location (the Callier Center for Communication Disorders) of UT Dallas is located adjacent to the UT Southwestern campus, in central Dallas. Known for its computer science, engineering, management, and behavioral/brain sciences programs among others, the average SAT scores of the school sometimes exceed that of UT Austin, the flagship university in the system (the average SAT score of incoming UTD fall 2005 freshmen was 1240). It ranks third among public universities in Texas in the percentage of National Merit Scholars in its freshman class. UTD also is known for its graduate programs in international management, economics and political economy, which offer both masters and doctoral programs. [4] UTD is located in the heart of Telecom Corridor, and has its roots in the development of the Metroplex's high tech industry. Motto： Disciplina praesidium civitatis Established： 1961 Type： State university President： Dr. David Daniel Faculty： 696 (Fall 2005) Undergraduates： 9,353 Postgraduates： 5,068 Location： Richardson, Texas, USA Campus Suburban：455 acres (1.8 km²) Endowment： $222.4 million Colors： Green and Orange Nickname： Comets Mascot： Temoc （别忘了，有次统计课就将这个做附加题！ 实际上是 Comet 的倒序写法） 历史 The university was originally started as a research arm of Texas Instruments as the Graduate Research Center of the Southwest in 1961. The institute (by then renamed the Southwest Center for Advanced Studies) was later donated to the University of Texas system by its founders Eugene McDermott, Cecil Howard Green and J. Erik Jonsson. By law, UTD conferred only graduate 3 degrees until 1975. Upper-division undergraduate students were allowed to start enrolling in UTD starting in 1974. Eventually freshmen and sophomores were allowed by legislative decree in 1990. 校园 Although a relatively new campus, it has grown by leaps and bounds. Having more room than the UT System's flagship school, University of Texas at Austin, there is plenty room for growth. Future development for the land can be found in UTD's Master Plan as created in 2003. The area controlled by UTD totals 866 acres (3.5 km²), with half of that (460 acres or 1.9 km²) designated as the real limit to “campus“ development. The remainder is held and strategically subdivided and sold over time to increase the University's endowment. 学生主要居住在校内的 Waterview 公 寓。

学校最骄傲的是拥有 2 名诺贝尔奖获得者，学生队屡次获得全美国际象棋比赛冠军 For Univ. in Texas http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_in_Texas The Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex has the fourth-largest university in the state—the University of North Texas—along with two UT System institutions—The University of Texas at Dallas and The University of Texas at Arlington, as well as private universities such as Southern Methodist University, which has the Metroplex's largest law school, University of Dallas, and Texas Christian University. 学校的中文译名，有人喜欢“德州大学达拉斯分校”，但 UT at Austin 就直称自己为德州大 学，搞得我们成了他们的分校似的（其实我们本科生的录取线比他们还高！），所以在这个 版就叫“达拉斯德州大学”。

若有超重之行李可事 先打包用海运寄来(需 12 个月) 至于书籍因美国书价昂贵， 一般约为中国的 N 倍^_^! 各系书单可向老生打听或上教授的网 站（如上课的 syllabus）查询,做为购书指南此外在美医疗费用极为可观,所以务必加入学生 保险，但因牙科及眼科不含于保险之中，所以赴美前一定要做好健康检查及注射疫苗，牙齿 也需整治完全，外加多配一副备用眼镜(考驾照时极可能需要！),可省去不必要的花费有戴 5 隐形眼镜的同学，请在国内开好英文处方笺，否则在美国购买隐形眼镜将多付一笔验光费 （40D-90D）好贵啊^_^ 学校还要求你有 tuberculosis (TB) testing documents，很多国内医院都能做胸透，记得要英文 报告来美国做会很贵！ 随身携带一本电子字典会很有帮助 美国的电压是 110v，所以不要带中国的电 器（非。
