The University of Texas at El Paso Top Questions

The most frustrating thing about my school is that some classes are reserved for certain colleges, so when you register you cannot choose a class that you would prefer to take. I have to take a night class and an early morning class with horrible gaps inbetween. I honestly wouldn't mind but I don't have a car so I am at school all day so that I wouldn't miss a them.

The People driving in and around campus don't respect the pedestrians.

The fact that it is not a very diverse group of citizens. You mostly see the same people you already know and maybe a handful of others. I would have liked that their be a more diverse ethnic group.

Speaking for myself, I am a Mathematics Major with a Minor in Secondary Educations. In order to register for classes you have to be advised by both departments. It is somewhat redundant to hear the same thing by two different advisors. Also, trying to schedule with two different advisors is very cumbersome and difficult as Secondary Education advisors are specifically available.

Nobody is willing to help you with problems, it's always someone else's job/problem

The most frustrating thing about the school is its organization. Many advisors and administrators are filtering in and out of the school so it can cause some confusion with things such as advising students and losing applications (as happened with me). There is also a lack of organization with the school website making things like tutition payment and searching for certain answers difficult.

Honestly, the most frustrating thing about my school, or at least my feelings towards it, is the fact that I feel like it's just one huge high school. When I walk around campus it doesn't feel like college to me. I don't feel like I am getting that college experience that I should be getting. When I say college experience I don't mean all the partying and fun, I mean that satisfaction that you are finally taking the first steps of creating your own life. For some reason I don't feel that way at UTEP.

The most frustating thing about going to school for me is no other than the class assignments and tests! You need to attend class everyday because you don't know whats going to happen. One day I decided to sleep in and skip my math class and ended up missing a quiz! In college, your professors don't care if you miss and they won't let you make up for it. You must keep track of when your work is due. Your going to have so much fun but you need to stay on top of your school work.

The most frustrating thing about our school is that the majority of the students do not speak fluent English. It is worrisome how my anticipated major requires the ability to speak, write, and understand English, but yet over half the students in the class can barely form a proper sentence in the language.

The most frustating thing about this university is that most teachers do not share interesting facts to keep the class involved and interested they just read everything off their slide and thats it.
