What kind of person should attend this school?

Esteban

I feel that anybody could attend UTEP. Not because it is easy to be accepted or because the classes are easy, but rather, UTEP provides a way to for students from various socioeconomic backgrounds an opportunity to attend college. As long as a student will put the effort into their school work, UTEP will provide a student every opportunity to succeed.

I believe any student who wishes to get a great education, without having a huge debt after graduating, should consider this university. The amount of coursework is dependant on the major that is choosen, but regardless of the degree the workload is always doable. Students will feel challenged in their courses, but will still find that they have some time for a social life.

Esther

If you are interested in specializing in engineering, buisness, or nursing, this is definitely the school for you.

Priscila

Someone who really is interested in a great engineer or business program. Also students who want to be move involved in the community and be close to their families. People who attend this college from other cities seem to really like the fact that they can go into a whole new country in less than 10 minutes (being that Ciudad Juarez, Mexico is on the other side of the city). Students who want to experience bi-cultural atmosphere would really love it here.

Ashley

A person who loves diversity and the culture as well as the gorgous structures of the campus that make it seem like an El Pasoan mini Bhutanese city.

Luis

A person who is very well rounded, and has an open mind towards a variety of ethnicities. The kind of person that loves hot, dry weather and get a good tan. El Paso is a very calm city with a relatively good nightlife. Students that are not that into partying but want to dedicate their time studying. If they are searching for the Greek life, they must know that it is medium sized. Overall students that are willing to set nightlife aside and focus in school. Picks Up!

These ideas lead me to believe that a person with a good combination of hardwork and fun would fit in quite perfectly in this school.

Someone who wants to attend the University of Texas at El Paso should definitely be ready to attribute to the school that is beginning to shape. Hardwork is the definition of UTEP, where most kids come from nothing to something. So if you want to be a student of UTEP, commitment and a goal driven personality is a must. As a student, you should be ready to work for the vision of happiness you have been picturing, for it will come true at the University of Texas at El Paso, if you really want it.

a person that wants to become a engeneer since this school has a great program on sciences. a person that their english is not great; this is a multicultural school.

Victor

People who want more in life than just a normal routine. People who wantto climb the workforce ladder and excell in what their hearts desire. Kids fresh out of highschool and not interested in college but are still going because their parents made them really look bad. All that money could be spent on better things if you do not dedicate yourself to college. If you are going to enroll in college you must do your best and work hard, if you doo, good things will happen one way or another, I guaruntee it.

Shelbie

Someone that is happy to mix with a racially diverse student population, ok with hot weather. Someone friendly and open-minded.

Lindsey

I'm sure there are very good scholarship opportunities for minority students (other than Hispanic students). This school also has a very good engineering program, so if that is what you are interested in, UTEP would be a good fit for you. The Mexican culture has a very strong influence here, but you do not need to be Hispanic in order to attend, anyone can find a place to fit in here.

Jessica

The kind of person who should attend this school is one who loves to be mentally challenged and has a lot of patience. They should also have great study habbits, because many of the classes offered here at UTEP require a lot of learning on your own. This school is also good for those who want a liberal arts major and not as great for those who are going into future medical schools, because UTEP does not have a very diverse or large research backbone making it difficult to obtain some research backround when applying to Medical School.

Blake

To keep up with the slight difficulty of the classes, a person should definately be use to having a lot of homework and writing papers because that is something that is really implemented when you come here to UTEP.

Jacob

I feel that the best student to enroll in this campus is the kind of student who may be the first in their family to enter college. This university does offer many opportunities as well as financial assistance to over half the student population. This university includes several students who are the first in their families to enter college and, in turn, welcomes these students to a great foundation of educational wealth, social experiences, and memorable college experiences.

Daniel

This University is more geared to individuals already living in El Paso whom wish to advance their education. Being the only big time university in the city, most individuals at this school are commuter students. Most grew up in the city and after graduating from high-school or attending community college for a while end up staying at this univeristy. It is a great starting point.

toni

Someone who can not afford to leave home, someone looking to stay close, not really looking to get involved on campus, someone who understandts the concept of commuter...

We have great professors, an undying support for our athletic programs, a variety of things to do and be a prt of on campus, and not to mention lots of culture. El Paso borders the town of Juarez, Mexico so if you want to experience a taste of Mexico all you have to do is walk right over the bridge, just remember to bring your passport with you. We have something here for everyone and welcome anyone and everyone to the University of Texas at El Paso.

Anyone that wants an education. It has been easy for me, some of the teachers seem to hand out grades for anything. There was one class that I had worth 5 hours and I only had 3 simple assignments.

Marcella

I would say a person that is focused in their career and know where they want to go. This is a school that although tuiton is rising, it is still financially available. Also a person who wants to finish there bachelors and plans to do there masters some where else. But to start of it is some what a good start. Since tuition is not so expensive and if a student decides to borrow from loans, they won't be so much in debt.
