The University of Texas at El Paso Top Questions

I wish I would have known more about all the clubs and organizations available at UTEP. I knew about fraternities and sororities but that was it and I was not interested in a sorority. Now that I'm close to graduation and also have many more responsibilities at home, I do not have the time to join a club or organization.

This would be my first year at The University of Texas at El Paso, I am transferring from NMSU, before coming to UTEP I wish I have done things different in past and have analyzed better the choices I had, while I was studying at NMSU I encountered too many difficulties, such as being kidnapped in Mexico, this situation made the accomplishment of my student goals harder to complete and made me loose one semester. The most important thing is that I wish I could know how much responsibility it takes to study and work at the same time.

I wish I had more information on financial aid but this is for all colleges. Need a list of items required.

At the age of fourteen I experienced my first college course along with the infamous long nights of studying, endless search for much needed creativity, and tremendous amounts of effort throughout my high school years. I graduated with my Associate's Degree at the age of seventeen before graduating from high school at Mission Early College. Despite being prexposed to the college life, I wish I would have known the importance of overcoming the poisonous fear of failure. Fear blinds you from reaching your goals and prevents you from achieving your full potential.

I wish I had known about the new programs UTEP offers because I am now thinking of changing my major to something in the health sciences field.

All the different opportunities to do research and get involved in areas of the major and all the programs and scholarships available to undergraduate students who are intersted in doing research starting as a freshman. Also would have liked to know that the classes the advisors pick do not necessarly have to be taken in the order or time at which they may tell you to take them. If you prefer to take them at different times or at a better pace for you, it is possible. I got overwhelmed my first year and it didnt go too good.

Flexibility to get a Master Degree

What I wish I would of known before I started college would be knowing what career path I wanted to take. This would of saved me alot of time and money.

I wish I had known mor about their curriculum and scholarships for students.

I wish I had known that this school is mostly interested in the income that it can use for sports related issues, while it does demand alot from the student academically it wants to get as much out of the students financially as it can, and it does not want to provide as much financial aid as it should. It also has policies that center on not providing the students with education as much as getting then away from their money.
