"Going to Comet Camp was one of the best decisions I made before officially attending UT Dallas. I made so many friends during the ropes course, Galaxy Bash and Slime Olympics. If you want to meet cool people and have a ton of fun, attend Comet Camp!"

"I didn't know anyone coming into UT Dallas and was really apprehensive about going to Comet Camp, but by the end of it I was very happy with my decision. It was a truly great experience, introduced me to many great friends and helped me see what UT Dallas was all about."

"I came to UT Dallas with a lot of other kids from my high school and I really wanted to branch out and meet some new people in college. Comet Camp was a great way to do this! Everyone was super friendly and I met so many cool people."

"Comet Camp was great! I met my roommates and people that I'm still friends with to this day. It was a great way to meet people before school started, since I didn't know anyone before coming to school here."
