The University of Texas at El Paso Top Questions

What's unique about your campus?

Kevin

I believe the best thing about my school, is that it is different from tradional colleges. The majority of student attending live and went to high school in el paso, not to mention the city and school is very diverse. The school itself it very open and friendly, also it has an amazing education programs.

Alejandro

The best thing about my school is the help and support they give to hispanics who are non-US citizens, mostly in the field of Engineering. I'm impressed by the facilities my school has for research and experimentation, and by the way it's prestige has grown in the last couple of years. Because not all universities are as flexible as UTEP with international students, and the one that are, do not offer the same experience and oportunities for research and experience that UTEP offers. This helps the student prepare for the real world.

Fabian

I like the environment at UTEP, friendly but at the same time dedicated. As you walk the school's corridors you get that feeling that only education can give, a feeling of knowledge and hunger for new ideas and experiences. Always with a fresh touch of youth and enery.

James

This university provides it's students with a diverse set of professors from different parts of the word that are very professional. The campus also has a great set of diverse students that all hang out with each other which is nice to see no race barriers in our small and humbel campus.

Jacob

The best thing about my school is that I am receiving a quality American education while paying a small tuition fee, even as a full time student. I am getting the same education here as I would at The University of Texas at Austin and paying twenty thousand dollars less. Unfortunately it still seems like a lot of money

As many people know, the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) admits most of the students who apply to study at this institution. While many people think this means that UTEP is a bad school, I think it is a great school if you want it to be. UTEP has a lot of great resources from Honors Programs to research labs to wonderful professors. It is up to the student to make use of those resources and get a full college experience not only by going to class, but by participating in research, volunteering, and going on internships.

Yolanda

The best thing is that is close to where I live and because it is in the border many people speak English and Spanish. But there are funny stories of thinks that happen in the different buildings of the campus. One is that some students put an alligator in the office of a teacher and he was screaming from help through the window. Then that building was name after the teacher.

Ulisses

Well, I guess i could say that my school is unique in that most of the student body has some kind of hispanic heritage. It is actually kind of awesome to know that people, that are not locals, can like our culture and also a vast majority would like our food.

Jorge

The best thing about UTEP is the pride and commitment that the students & faculty have for the University. That sounds very clich? but it?s very true. For example, if you look at our football team you learn that it?s not the best. In reality, many people who attend the games already have their minds made up of who they believe will win the game and it usually isn?t UTEP. However, people still go and support the team with the hope that UTEP will come out on top because when they do, it feels like nothing else matters.

Sarah

The learning environment is the best thing about my school. My learning environment includes the confortable classrooms, enthusiastic professors, well equipped labs, helpful teaching assistants, excellent presentations, and the ease of getting to my classes. Add to this the well prepared and helpful advisors, educational and financial, and my whole college experience has revolved around a very supportive learning environment. I am a Geology major and UTEP is surrounded by our beautiful Franklin Moutains which give us a backyard laboratory to add stimulation to our already pleasant learning enironment.
