The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) is very unique because it sits on the border of Texas and El Paso. As I walk up and down the pathways I can easily see into the rural areas of El Paso's sister city in Mexico and realize how lucky I am to have the opportunity to go to a school that is very culturally diverse, and nationally ranked. It is like no other school in the United Staetes because of its location, and truly offers a well balanced and challenging curriculum that will prepare me for my future endeavors.

What is unique about UTEP is that it is a friendly university to attend. I have not met one professor that was rude and unwilling to help with courses or give you advice on what courses a student may take. I, also, believe that UTEP is unique for where it is located and how it looks. It is located in the desert off Interstate 10 and has Bhutan architecture, which is different compared to the Hispanic influence El Paso has to offer.

I mostly attended community colleges because I moved along with my job (blue collar) to different cities.

The best part about UTEP was that it was next to home and algo that it provided the major that I was looking for. Also the labs for my career where brand new.

UTEP is unique because of the border city it is in. We have a diversity of culture here in El Paso and this adds to the appeal of the school. UTEP is on its way to be a Tier One University.

The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) is very unique because of the great education they offer. The university is really striving to be one of the best schools in the country. They are doing this by doing plenty of research in many diffrent academic programs. Also the school is growing quickly in students and construction. The school also strive to have comfortable study places, up to date technology, the best teachers, and activities for the students to have fun. It is a very good school and I enjoy attending UTEP everyday.

I really like the atmosphere. There is a variety of people and nobody bothers you. You can have friends or not its your own decision and nobody interferes.

Just the environment and the architexture of the school. It has a feeling like no other. I enjoy the ambiance especially if the weather is warm or hot.

Since I was born here in El Paso, I was raised to think that family is one of your top priorities, behind school and other academic responsibilities. IN this city students are attached to parents so it's really hard to move away in an instant. [ UTEP ], teaches and motivates students to pursue a higher education and not leaving out the family values, while other universities do not.
