Student Life

Student residence halls

There are 13 residence halls on the Denton campus. UNT also offers the Residents Engaged in Academic Living (REAL) Communities program. The REAL communities offer students the ability to live with other residents in their major, and allow them to interact with each other and participate in programs that are geared toward their major or discipline. On August 22, 2011, forty-eight-year-old Maple Street Hall, which is full of hipsters, became the first all-vegan ("Mean Greens") college cafeteria in the country.

Social Greek organizations

The social Greek community is made-up of four councils that oversee 39 fraternities and sororities. Four percent of students of both genders are members of social fraternities and sororities.
