About Arlington:
Arlington is situated in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, affording access to numerous restaurants, microbreweries, and entertainment opportunities (museums, theatre, music, sports). While opportunities to appreciate these are reduced during the COVID-19 pandemic, many restaurants and museums have re-opened for outdoor and/or socially distanced visits. The city of Arlington alone has 82 public parks, including River Legacy Parks, a 1,300-acre oasis on the Trinity River in the heart of north Arlington. Arlington is the home of the Dallas Cowboys Stadium, the Texas Rangers Ballpark, and Six Flags Over Texas. The Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) airport -- one the largest and most connected airports for both domestic and international travel -- is also only 15 miles from campus. Cost of living is relatively low for a major metropolitan area. More information on the city of Arlington can be found at (www.experiencearlington.org).
