Princeton Review claimed the University of Dallas had the fourth-least beautiful campus among the America's top colleges and universities. Travel + Leisure's October 2013 issue lists it as one of America's ugliest college campuses, citing its "low-profile, boxy architecture that bears uncanny resemblance to a public car park," but noting that a recent $12 million donation from alumni Satish and Yasmin Gupta would bring new campus construction.
A Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) Orange Line light-rail station opened near campus on July 30, 2012.
The campus is home to the Orpheion Theatre, a small Greek-style performance space built into a hillside in 2003. Most plays are performed in the Drama Building.
