UTA Student Info Site

The dress code on campus is pretty informal and a T-shirt worn with jeans is almost a universal dress for both sexes here. So, bring plenty of them. Formal clothes may come in useful occasionally.

Formals :
• One suit (Optional),
• ties (1/2),
• Black trousers(1),
• shirts and trousers (2/3),
• traditional saris/kurta(if u want)

Casuals :
• Jeans (3/4),
• T-shirts & sweats (10-15),
• cotton shirts (5),
• shorts (for outdoor, indoor, sports use) (5-7).

Arlington has hot summers (~40 C high) and mild winters (~3 C low) (relatively, of course !). So if you are coming for fall the initial one month is going to be really hot so try to bring comfortable clothing for hot weather. If you are coming for spring please try to bring some winter wear as you might feel uncomfortable with cold weather.

Winter wear
If you are coming for fall don’t waste your weight on winter wear
• good sweater(2),
• a muffler,
• a scarf and
• a woolen cap (monkey type),
• umbrella (it occasionally rains heavy here)

You might get a better coat/jacket in the US.

Footwear :
• Sneakers(if possible a black one),
• formal shoes,
• Chappals/sandals,


No matter where you stay, you'll have access to washing and drying facilities. These machines have large capacities, so that it is possible to do 2 week's laundry at a time. So plan your wardrobe accordingly.



Undergarments :
• Undergarments(15) (if u bring more then u can delay your laundry……u will be usually lazy to use laundry service)
• socks, preferably cotton(5 formal ,5 sports).


Miscellaneous :
• Towel (1+),
• napkins (1/2),
• leather belts (2+),
• handkerchiefs (6+)
• swimwear

(there are many swimming pools in on/off camups appartments apart from the big one of UTA, you wont resist yourself from falling into water in summer).

Linen :
• Bed sheets (double bed size, 2),
• pillow covers (big, 2),
