The University of Texas at El Paso Top Questions

The worst thing about my college is knowing that one day it will come to end. From that day i would have to hope that all the people i've meet, experiences i've had and information I have learned will be enough to fill my dreams for future. I am sure if i keep in the right my school will provide every thing I need to succed.

Although my school offers cultural diversity, and a nationally recognized education, one of its biggest flaws is the fact that it is considered a commuter school. The university fails to attract people living outside of a 100 mile radius of El Paso. Although it may be culturally diverse, it certainly lacks a large amount of people from the rest of the country thus possibly closing doors to opportunities that other non commuting universities may offer.

The commodities; small desks, overcrowded classes.

The worst thing about UTEP is the size of some of the undergraduate classes. In many of these classes there are sometimes up to 200 students. This makes it difficult to discuss things with the professors as they do not have the time to meet one on one with so many students.

Students are not committed to their goals.

I feel that there was not enough healthy meals that students got tired of eating food that was fast food places. Because there was not a standard cafeteria.

There are not enough campus wide events that would attract a wide variety of people. Without these events the campus community feels less connected.

I think they focus way too much on their engineering and business programs and don't really provide enough orientation for other educational programs.

The high prices and overall unhealthy selection of food options for lunch at the Union building, because good nutrition on a college student's budget is very important to stay energized and excell in the classroom.

The worst thing about UTEP is how people sometimes use it as their last resort, their backup. In other words, they think it's a second rate school, when in fact it has many very strong programs, including several PhD options. It is also quickly improving both its academic and extracurricular experience for its students with new renovations to campus, focus on research and further exploration of financial aid. It's actually an excellent school!
