Help joda move to Dallas/Ft. Worth
« on: June 01, 2016, 12:20:38 PM »
A couple years ago I decided to return to change careers and go back to school. After picking up a new Bachelors degree from Wichita State ( :blah:) I'm moving on to pursue a Masters at UT-Arlington. Other than a couple short trips to Dallas I know almost nothing of the area. I know there's a few TexasCats living in that area and I'm looking for suggestions. Places to visit, good bars/clubs/breweries/restaurants, entertainment venues, etc. Since I'm trying to pay for out of state tuition cheaper options are greatly appreciated but all opinions are helpful. Also, since there is a Mrs. joda good date ideas are helpful also.

If that's where I'm thinking it's probably a little far away from the college to be living, but if I drink lots of Deep Eddy's does that make up for it?

Trees are great, look good, help the environment, etc.

School has a gym, don't know if it's any good at all, but probably will be what I use with my starting out budget.

i think traffic sucks there, i would live as close to your job/school as possible.  there's also a great horse track in arlington.
