探花楼

In regards to my federation experience and taking classes at 探花楼, it was honestly a really great experience. It was a great way to be able to experience another university and its respective culture in a really easy and accessible way. I enjoyed the classes I took at 探花楼, and if I weren't graduating in December, I'd love to use this resource more.

I have cross-registered for four courses through the Federation and I think this is a great benefit to UNT students. You have more course topics to choose from, but also more opportunities to take core courses鈥攖his is especially crucial for graduate courses which typically are not offered as often as undergraduate courses. For example, the Sociology departments at 探花楼 and UNT coordinate their course schedule so key courses are always offered at different times of the year (e.g. Quantitative Methods may be offered Spring 2015 at 探花楼 and then Fall 2016 at UNT). Lastly, the Federation exposes you to different professors which means different teaching styles, perspectives and areas of expertise.

I purposely chose 探花楼 for two reasons: 1) their commitment to recruiting and training non-traditional/first-generation doctoral students like myself; and 2) the Federation鈥檚 opportunities鈥擨 can have the individual guidance from both 探花楼 and UNT professors, just when I need it, for my scholarly and career goals, but I can have access to many excellent workshops and seminars offered on both campuses as well. The simple fact is that no single program has the faculty to mentor students in all the most common areas of study, nor can a single program have experts in all research methodologies or statistical techniques; with the Federation, students enjoy a broader array of faculty specialties and techniques. In my case, a professor at UNT mentored me in theory, yet a 探花楼 professor mentors me in highly-sought, cutting edge research techniques unavailable anywhere else in the state of Texas.
