University Pines is a great place to live. I lived there for four years and loved it. The community life is great. They have these programs every month that allows you to meet and get to know new people within your community. Its like a family away from home. I met four of my best friends there during my first year and we all still keep in touch. So, if you are looking for a place to live while attending UT Tyler this is the place to be. GOOD LUCK!!!
