Odessa, TX
The University of Texas of the Permian Basin

I think it is a great community. It is a smaller university but I think that only adds to the appeal of the campus. The class ratios are about 18:1 depending on the class and you are able to make personal connections fairly easy with the professors. Overall a great school for a good price.

I think that sports wise, a new coaching staff for the women's basketball team and the football team should definitely be considered. Academically, there are a lot of professors who are not American. This has created some language barriers and they have very thick accents, making it hard to understand them. Other than that, they are very willing to work with you on anything you are having difficulty with; whether it is understanding them or understanding the content of the class. There is a student success center full of free tutors who are very helpful. Campus life is pretty fun, especially around finals time/ end of the year.

I feel very comfortable in this school because it is actually what I was looking for since the beginning. Therefore, all I can say is that is a really good university where students still have a long way when it comes to getting involved in campus activities but we still have a great community that makes everyone feel safe.

UTPB is an old, outdated college campus with lame facilities. Tuition is increasing, in part to fund new facilities, but the current students won't enjoy those benefits, even though we're paying for it. The biology labs are ghetto and unsanitary with dirty surfaces.

UTPB has a great and friendly environment, I feel safe walking on campus late at night. The lessons taught by professors are very in depth and detailed. Memorization, learning, and understanding are key parts of knowledge in the classroom during a lecture. There are a lot of activities going on on campus to encourage and motivate students to be more outgoing and socialize. They provide services for students like Title IX, financial aid, scholarship, etc.

i think the permian base is a good school with plenty of opportunities to become a better person and a better student. there are a bunch of fun activities and the school is located in a good community filled with wonderful people.i love how the class sizes are normal and not to much and not to little that makes it the best part so i can learn better.

It's a good small college in the middle of west Texas with nothing to do on the weekends. If you like small classes and teachers that help its a great school. Probably won't find your future wife or husband here. Most student go home on the weekends and the cafeteria is terrible and has terrible hours. If you live on campus you have to basically be able to cook your own food our you are eating out every night. They added football and its still growing but still needs more growth. Cost of the school is very cheap!

This school is great! If you are looking for a Christian community, there always off- campus events happening every night. Also, the class size are very small which make it easier to have a better communication with your professor. In addition, it a small school, which you can build lasting friendships. However, the school cafeteria is not good at all. So you will end up spending money to go out eat.

I was a dual credit student here and did not like it. Their websites were difficult to navigate. I hardly ever heard from my professors and they weren't very good about giving feedback even when I requested it. There wasn't much teaching/learning going on in the class.

Overall, its a good college. The teachers, for the most part, are available all the time, staff is incredibly friendly, and they strive for your success. There many groups and extra curricular activities to partake in. The town is small, so it does not offer many opportunities to get distracted from your school work. People here are also very friendly, and it was easy to transition, people wise anyways.
