One interesting aspect of our school is that it's architecture is from Butan and it helps in offering diversity among students. We are located in a desert mountain but we have interesting landscapes.
Justin
Well, considering that I couldn't afford to consider any other school, there's nothing standout about my school in that regard.

The one true aspect about our school that makes it unique is its level of diversity. Situated within a stones throw away from the U.S./Mexico border, the ethnic and racial diversity is at an all time high (not even including international/out of state students)/

My school is unique because of the communication available between students and teachers. It is hard to get that at a large scale university where you are just a number. As well as communication, many of the professors here strive to give students the education they deserve.

I think that UTEP is unique compared to other schools because it is not an on-campus university for the most part. It is a commuter school, and it attracts people that do not want to leave home or leave out of town to advance on their education. Also, I think it is most affordable in comparison to other universities in the Southwest area.

It's in my town. It has a good engineering collage, It has good SAE proyects. It has a big diversity of students.
Jami
It is a commuter school. No one really lives on campust unless you are an athlete. Engineering program is excellent though.

The vast majority of the student population is actually of hispanic background. So in many ways I feel a lot more at home at this campus. Also, there are more programs to help minorities succeed---such as co-ops and internships.

At UTEP, we have captured history since it first started in El Paso like segregation (Movie: Glory Road), Hispanics, Ft. Bliss's contributions and more. This campus gives the student the opportunity to interact with family in certain events and make a new family of friends. El Paso is known for being a big city with a heart of a town, in this case, makes the city have school spirit for UTEP from good days to worse. UTEP also gives the opportunity to be someone in life not only for Americans, but for other races and in particular Mexicans.
