Campus
The University is located in Irving, TX on a 744 acre (301 hectare) campus surrounded by highways and an industrial and low-income multi-unit housing area, 10 miles (16 km) from downtown Dallas and just southeast of the Las Colinas development; "it sits in a 50-mile by 10-mile rectangular phenomenon known as a slow-moving earthquake." The campus consists mostly of nondescript, brown-colored rectangular or otherwise box-shaped brick buildings. The mall is the center of campus, with the 187.5 feet-tall (57.15 meters) Braniff Memorial Tower as its focal point. Although the University is Catholic, its campus-exterior lacks almost any religious art. The Princeton Review cites the University of Dallas for having the 4th least beautiful campus of the colleges and universities it ranks.
A Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) Orange-Line light rail station is scheduled to open near campus on July 30, 2012.
