What I tell my friends that are attending other schools about the university that I am attending is that the professors are very accessible and down to earth. All of the professors that I have had the pleasure of having have made the transition from high school to college very easy. The are not what I expected from college professors, they understand that some college students carry a very heavy work load and so they do not attack you with work but rather divide the workload into several phases and they help you with any problem you might be having.

It is a four year university and it has affiliation with other schools to help its students get into those medical schools. It has a lot of awesome internships with businesses around the city and out of the city. Also local and outside businesses look to hire graduates because of their excellence.

After having attended UTEP for almost two years I am proud to tell my friends that here one can actually feel that the faculty and staff really care for you to succeed. As part of the College Assistance Migrant Program I have been able to help other low income incoming freshmen.

What I usually brag about the most is being in the Fraternity Lambda Chi Alpha. I'm proud to be apart of a outstanding fraternity, bragging about how fun it is. Telling friends how much we help out the community with donations and food drives. Showing off how much ethics you need in order to become a brother. Telling them how high you have to keep your GPA in order to make it and not get in trouble. I can keep going and going but one of my friends always have to tell me to stop showing off.

The fact that we are research-oriented. The fact that we are trying to become a tier one university as well as the fact that there are many organizations on campus that touch on all subjects. We have very progressive organizations that help keep the students motivated to do the best they can in their scholastic duties. We also have the lowest tuition out of the whole state of Texas and we have a Students for Sensible Drug Policy Chapter that focuses on finding alternative ways to the war on drugs because our border sister city is affected by it.

I tell them that in more ways than one, UTEP is like an undiscovered gold mine. At first mention, people might dismiss it because of where it's located and the socio-economic status of El Paso, as well as the proximity to Juarez. What they don't know about is the world-class faculty (in multiple departments), state-of-the-art tech., and solid education that UTEP can seriously offer.

That it is a great place with huge school spirit and great people who respect you and your property. It has great extracurricular activities that you can join no matter what you like, you will find it. It is the home away from home.
