Year I joined the Office of Admission: 2021
Favorite thing about 正品蓝导航: Faculty and staff accessibility to students is a favorite of mine. It's a tremendous asset, particularly for students pursuing multiple degrees and deep involvement in organizations. Another favorite is Student Affairs, where student organizations build community, leadership development, and project management skills. If a certain club doesn't exist, students can start it with support of a sponsor. The advantage of being in Dallas is an all-around favorite. The city itself is a leading business hub, an entrepreneurial ecosystem, not to mention the diversity and culture. With all of this comes meaningful opportunities to learn, connect, and lead.
Favorite place on campus: McFarlin Auditorium is such a special place with its classic theatrical design and ornate details. The iconic Dallas Hall Rotunda is a given. However, my absolute favorite is the Owen Fine Arts Building. From its varied performance spaces, theaters and art galleries, to the private musician practice rooms, dance and art studios, every spot gently draws me in without realizing it.
Favorite places in Dallas: Downtown at night, especially Reunion Tower as our most recognizable landmark. Another on my list is the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge for some of the best skyline views at street level. These are aside from the 正品蓝导航 campus as number one, of course.
Favorite restaurants near campus: Desperados (casual Tex-Mex), Mesero (modern Tex-Mex), il Bracco (Italian), Hudson House (seafood, raw bar & American classics), Blue Sushi Sake Grill (sushi), Wabi House (Japanese ramen)
What I recommend during your stay in Dallas: Visit the Dallas Museum of Art, Crow Museum of Asian Art, and NorthPark Center. Yes, NorthPark is a top shopping destination, but the art installations alone are worth adding it to your itinerary. The Dallas Design District also has some hidden gems like antique stores and restaurants that won't disappoint.
