Well my friend said she lived at home her freshman year and really lived in an apartment off campus. But our hometown was so close to North Texas that it was believable, it was only about 25 minutes. I think that is the only way. So if you live far away, you're out of luck.
And parking @ UNT is a pain but it's not as bad as other schools. If you do find a way to live off-campus, just make sure you have an early class b/c then there won't be as much competition for parking. Or if you do have a class beginning between 10-1, then I would plan on driving around for about 15 minutes until you find a spot. But it's really not that bad.
Hope this helps. :)

Generally, they will let you live off campus if you live with your parents or if you are a nontraditional student (over the age of 30); otherwise, most schools don't want freshmen living in apartments on their own. There are a lot of reasons for this - liability, getting you to be fully part of the college experience, etc. I can tell you that although I hated living in the dorms and moved out after my freshman year, I can't imagine having lived off campus as a freshman, and I think it would have been a really bad idea.

Looking back on my freshman year of college, I am so, so glad I lived in the dorms. I wouldn't dare go back and change it.
It helped that I went to high school with my roommate, (we went to college in a town a hundred miles away from the town we went to high school in,) so we had familiar faces around us, but there are many reasons why living on campus has its advantages.
One is that studies have shown that freshman grades are higher when they live on campus. Two is gas prices, driving back and forth to the campus. Three is parking issues. These campuses have one parking space per thousand cars owned by off-campus students, and the price you pay for a parking permit is a racket.
Give some serious thought to living on campus.

I am a mom going through the < find the right college fit for my son > process. There are many considerations, not the least of which is financial. I want him to live on campus his freshman year so he becomes involved in college life. That won't happen if he lives off campus. I am not paying for his non-funded scholarship assistance if he decides to go his own way in this regard. There is a time for everything and living together with a love interest is not in his best interest at this important time of separating from the family and getting on with his life. In my opinion, the best way to inform her would be to not inform her and do as she thinks is right for your college experience. If your boyfriend and you are truly serious and meant to be, then the relationship will endure through this period of time without having to play house together. Like I said, there is a time for everything.

if you on a scholarship or your parents are paying for your dorm, you can do what I did. I was on football scholarship, and I hated living in my dorm. I decided to go out one day and look at small efficiency apartments and townhomes in the area. I was working as well so I had money. I started secretly renting out a small townhouse for 550$ a month and about 20 min away from campus. It was really nice to have my own place with a driveway, backyard, room, bathroom, living room, etc. I told my roommate that I had family living in the area so I wouldn't be at my dorm too much anymore. I only go back to my dorm when I have early morning practice the next day, or a early morning class. whenever im on campus to eat/study I stop by my dorm just to see whats up, grab something if I need it. then deuce out to my house. All my friends from highschool could come up whenever and stay with me. I could party and scream as much as I wanted. If you have around 500$ a month to spare then I would suggest doing this!
I generated my income from day trading online however
I am a finance major
so it was pretty effortless to come up with my rent for the month.
Don't let anyone know that your renting out a secret party pad though because you could get in trouble with the university.
KEEP it on the low.
don't invite anyone from your school there that could possibly open their mouth to someone on campus. teachers/RAs/Etc.

i think you have to live on campus of your freshman year. if you really don't want to, you can contact the residential office. telling them what do you want. such as: tell them put you into a nice dorm and arrange a good roommate to you. whatever, i know living at campus is so much fun to every freshman!

I'm assuming that North Texas has a website, e-mail, phone numbers. You could contact the university directly to find out how you can get this form, when you need to submit it by and what others requirements there are to apply to live off campus.
