Brittany's Tips for Student Success

What is your favorite place or thing to do on campus? Why?
My favorite place on campus is Sycamore Hall. This is where the Mayborn School of Journalism is located, and where I earned my master's degree here at UNT. I spent many hours there and it holds a dear space in my heart. Sycamore Hall also has its own library, public and private study spaces, as well as great resources to aid in your research needs. It is also centrally located near the student union, so you are close to the bookstore, multiple food options, and central student offices.
