What is your overall opinion of this school?

The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley is a very unique campus compared to many others. It is located in two different border cities, which are Brownsville and Edinburg. Due to its location, the student life is significantly influenced by northern Mexican culture. Having been a student from there since I was sixteen years old, it is always a great experience to participate in school activities that highlight our academic accomplishments as well as our heritage. Attending a university where most of the alumni are bilingual, provides me with great pride of my cultural background, and hope for intellectual proficiency.

The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley has changed my life in so many ways. For instance, staying on campus was an amazing experience I will forever cherish. I met so many people, and the professors were helpful and available when I needed to access them. I attended soccer, volleyball, and basketball games. The crowd was fun to watch as well.

What is your overall opinion of this school?

UTRGV is like a second home for me where they can offer me the opportunity to teach me and get me prepared for my future dream of becoming an anime director and to start my own production company. Sure, the classes will get difficult as the semester up and go, but as long as you have a dream worth fighting for and that you believe in it, then it will become a reality with belief, patience and hard work.

What is your overall opinion of this school?

While they are a good school to attend because it is affordable and close to home, the atmosphere in UTRGV feels very closed off. There aren't that many activities to do, and most of the scholarships are based on sports instead of academics. Teachers are good, but many care more about the paycheck than the students.

What is your overall opinion of this school?

Overall the campus is satisfactory. As a student, I and other students have a few complaints, but the campus is always growing to help students feel more comfortable. It is adaptable. Therefore, the University is fairly good but there is always room for improvement.

What is your overall opinion of this school?

I believe the university is a good school overall. Fall 2019 will be my third semester and as of now, so far so good. It's not the best school but it's a school with great professors willing to help their students succeed. They offer a variety of courses.

What is your overall opinion of this school?

This campus is a decent size. The classes are not too big nor too small. The professors provide their email addresses and office hours in the event that we need them. The classes are pretty easy to follow. I have not heard much about sorority life, but I do know that there is some. The professors I have had have all been nice and easy to follow. The campus itself is very clean, there is always someone from the janitorial staff around making sure the campus looks neat. The restrooms, as well, are never dirty and are constantly stocked. However, some stalls do lack locks which can be pretty annoying. The campus housing is not at all far from campus. The parking lot for the Freshman’s however is very far from campus and is a hassle to get in and out of. The Zone 3 parking is the closest but that is for the professors. I don’t view this as fair seeing as though a student should be allowed closer parking. The Parking permits are not too expensive but can add up. I recommend getting the Zone 2 Parking, The spots are harder to find but it is less of a walk to the classes. If you plan on taking morning classes, you might want to invest in the closes parking you can because they are farther from campus the cheaper they are. Overall, my experience was great my Freshman year. It was a struggle, but I made it, Also Take advantage of the free classes over 12 hours.
