A small Catholic wonderland where dedicated, monogamous relationships are considered cool. Like…read moreall small Catholic wonderlands, this place has its issues. The more time you spend here, whether as a student, a parent, or a professor, the more apparent the budget issues are. One way University of Dallas makes its money is by increasing the price of tuition every year. Academic awards for students do not increase, so you will be paying more each year. Many departments are underfunded, and the former president who focused heavily on increasing revenue was let go due to some back room scandals and drama that the administration will not disclose. There are a lot of instances in which I've felt like UD cares more about PR than it does about its own students. Most recently, when the new President was inaugurated, students were prohibited using from certain parking lots near academic buildings because they were reserved for "guests" at the inauguration, and apparently students are not guests at their own president's inauguration. I have a lot of things to say about campus life like most students. Mainly there is never enough parking to accommodate everyone and it cost $125/year when I was there just to park on campus. The parking fines are extremely petty and show the university's greed for money. The housing requirement for students is similar (unnecessary and only exists to bring in money). The food on campus is mediocre, and Aramark, the provider of food services, has a monopoly over the food available on campus. So having said all that, the education you get here is pretty solid, and professors are generally passionate about their fields while also challenging towards students' preconceived ideas. The core curriculum is focused on God, Nature, and Man, and all the academic subjects that encompass/combine these. I really liked a lot of my professors. UD students are known for their writing skills, and employers are aware of this.

As it turns…read moreout, my older daughter has worked for two Japanese offices in Hawaii where she had to communicate (writing and speaking) exclusively in Japanese. In both cases, she was the lone American in the department and she was able to function. I did drop my younger daughter off in Japan for college and she is now working in a Japanese office. Both of my kids have been able to function in a completely Japanese environment thanks to this school.

This is my second time taking Japanese lessons after I took it for two years at UNT in 2000. My…read morereview is for non-native Japanese lessons normally taught on Saturdays. I decided to start off with Level 1, the most basic course they offer. Coming back to Japanese in a non-graded and non-tested format is unusual because the class doesn't have all the testing normally associated with foreign language classes in high school and college in Texas. Japanese at a college level required that I learn hiragana and katakana over the span of six weeks, whereas this course gives you about 10 weeks for only hiragana, with katakana and kanji taught in later courses. The material has a strong focus on numbers early on in the course and the material has a business-minded bent for people who might go over to Japan for work-related reasons. Classes are easy-paced and instructors are patient with new students over pronunciation, character recognition and vocabulary drills. It is normal for classes to start off very crowded and to shrink over time. Some students just do not grasp the concepts taught in Japanese (different sentence structure, learning foreign character-based alphabets) and this was similar to what I experienced in college. Students who struggle are encouraged to attempt to take a class over again to reinforce the concepts and language. The classroom is a mix of different aged students from seniors in high school to actual seniors from a range of backgrounds, so classes are very diverse. Our instructor is a very nice and patient sensei who engages with the class frequently throughout each lesson. Portions of the class involve reviewing homework, doing vocabulary drills, playing "bingo" with hiragana characters, and question and answer worksheets where you talk to fellow classmates. Let me also state that the key to success in this class is through networking with the other students. Having someone else that understands the material from a different perspective can be invaluable when tackling a largely unrecognizable language like Japanese to a native English speaker. People who work alone seem to struggle more and drop out quickly, but if you're willing to work with your group or make a few friends, the class is immensely easier. I'm reviewing only the Level 1 class portion in my review. I will amend it later if/when I attend Level 2 courses.
