What's the most frustrating thing about The University of Texas at El Paso?

During the last few years, there has been a lot of construction in the school which has meant having to figure out alternative routes for reaching the building in which the class is being held. Overall, I believe the University is a decent institution for the cost of tuition. It has good professors, and was ranked 7th best national university by Washington Monthly in 2013. The only thing I wish we had, is better research labs and more courses in which the lecture required a lab as part of the co-requesite.

The most frustrating thing about my school is that it is not very diverse, and compared to other universities, i'm not sure i'm getting the whole big university college experience.

The current construction.

Marisol

The most frustrating thing about my school right now is the construction because we have to take long alternative routes in the campus to get to our class, but when this ends I think there would be no problem. I would say that the school needs more spirit and fun activities.

Ashley

There is a campus transformation occuring in the school right now and it's a hassle trying to get to class but honestly it will be worth it on the end and it will benefit the school as well as the students.

I believe what is most frustratin about this school is the fact that due to the region where it is located it might not be so easy to find a job. For instance, if you graduate with a Major in Psychology without having done any internship opportunities, it is hard to find a job here. Even so, a Master's degree in Linguistic will not gurarantee you a job in El Paso.

The most fustrating thing about my school would have to be that there are not many late afternoon or night classes being offered to students. I work full time and am a full time parent and I would like to take some classes at night and on weekends but very few are offered to us. This is fustrating for me.

The most frustrating school about UTEP is the fact that the personnel is not very friendly at all. When it comes to customer service, registering for classes, advising etc. the people who provide customer service are not very welcoming or nice. Another thing is the fact that it is VERY expensive.. They charge you almost for the air you breathe. Another thing is the fact that they let you get intop the University with low SAT scores yet the teachers are very very demanding of you and there's too many homework.

The most frustrating things that I've experienced so far is only the sort of bureaucratic way of getting things done. However, this is a situation that all college students must go through. I believe it is an experience that prepares you for the majority of what adult life may be: lots and lots of red tape. All systems have their flaws, as well as the University that I attend, however, I don't see it as a hindrance, no matter how frustrating it may be. Ultimately it comes down to overcoming the obstacles presented to me and growing.

Christopher

The most frustrating thing about my school would be the uphills that are climbed everyday to get to class. The way the school was built is a beautiful masterpiece and great work up art, but the walking is what is most frustrating. To sum it all up, it would have to be the walking from class to class.
