Student Opinions About Studying in Fort Worth

“Fort Worth is a place with all the amenities of a larger city, which includes great nightlife options, good employment options in the technology sector, a selection of good universities, and much more. My main complaint about my city is that its traffic can get pretty out of hand at times.”

“Traffic is pretty hectic here, but it doesn’t really affect me much since I live downtown which means I can walk everywhere I need to in my day-to-day routine. I can get to my university, the A&M University School of Law, with no problem at all, which means I have the time and energy to get to the gym afterwards.”

“The city has one of the most active job markets in Texas, and it seems to just be getting better every year in that regard. If you dedicate some time to applying for jobs seriously, you should get a response fairly quickly, assuming your application is well done.”

Fort Worth Key Facts for International Students

PROS

  • Fort Worth is home to an abundance of Fortune 500 companies, meaning that there is a steady supply of jobs in the city, meaning that those moving here can expect to get set up relatively quickly here compared with the typical situation in other US cities.

  • This is a great city for art, culture, and activities to get involved in. Whether you’re into fine dining, well-curated museums, numerous and popular live music venues, cowboy events such as rodeo, and plenty of other entertainment options.

  • Many residents express that Fort Worth is a city that provides everything you might want from a larger city, while giving the vibe of a small city where people are friendly and get to know each other.

CONS

  • Due to the brutal heat and humidity of Texan summers, the locals pay expensive energy bills because of the necessity of having the air conditioning running almost 24\/7. Fort Worth is also located in a geographic area prone to tornadoes and storms.

  • Some neighbourhoods in Fort Worth have issues with crime, so it’s very important to do your own individual research on each neighbourhood before moving in here.

  • The public transport here is not very reliable, as buses usually fail to arrive on time, and there is a lack of routes which means some parts of Fort Worth are without coverage, and also that many have to spend some time walking to the nearest bus stop in the sweltering heat. All of this means that locals prefer to use a car, and this in turn creates traffic issues.
