    Am learning a lot

    Despite what many people say about the teachers at this University, I truly believe that I have received a quality education here thus far :)

    Am enjoying being here

    This campus isn't all too exciting as far as student life goes. There aren't too many organizations to join and the ones that ARE on campus, aren't very exciting. The dorms aren't very appealing and there really isn't much around campus except for a downtown area.

    Bang for the buck

    Considering that tuition isn't all that expensive in comparison to other colleges in Texas, it saddens me to say that yes. You do get your money's worth!

    Tips for prospective students

    I would advise prospective students to just enjoy the time they have on campus. UTB is very relaxed and everyone gets along with everyone else here. It's not unpleasant.

    Great for these types of students

    Anyone who wants to get away from a hectic city environment and is looking for a more calm and passive atmosphere will probably enjoy this more than everyone else :)

    Tips for prospective students

    you should sit at the front if you really want to learn. listen and ask question of anything you do not understand, the instructors love that because this is a way to know the students. always attend the work-study sessions.

    UTB is the best place for me. It has not only been a wonderful experience and beautiful campus, but also allowed me to stay at home with my family.

    Bang for the buck

    Tuition fees are generally less than many other schools. For those in seek of financial aid, there are several opportunities such as grants, scholarships and loans.

    Tips for prospective students

    If planning to attend UTB, you must be informed of every single resource they provide here on campus.

    Great for these types of students

    I believe that this university has a lot of potential, but students who attend college just to fool around only have a negative effect on the school and the students who actually want to do something out of their lives. Overall, I believe most of the professors in this university want the best for their students and will grant you their help.

    Academic Rigor

    I believe that all colleges are basically the same. In order to pass your classes you must, first of all, attend your classes and actually READ and STUDY. Although, I do believe that classes in this campus are pretty easy.

    Dorm Life

    I can't exactly say how is the dorm life since I don't live on campus, but many of my friends do and they love it. Besides the dorms, the school also owns apartments right around the campus which are very nice.

    Food and Dining

    We used to have a cafeteria with a variety of good choices, but recently they have replaced that with a chick-fil-a. Don't get me wrong, I love chick-fil-a, but having that as our only choice was not a very good idea.

    What to do for fun

    One of the things why I love living in South Texas is that the beach is only 20 minutes away. After a stressful week of school, after finals, or at the end of the semester is always great to just go spend a day at the beach and relax.

    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    There are several traditions we have that most of other parts of the nation don't even know about. For example, Charro Days is a very fun and exciting festival we celebrate at the end of February each year. Students are actually out of school for a couple of days due to this holiday. We have parades, small concerts, carnivals, and many more stuff. This area is highly influenced by the Mexican culture since we are only five minutes away from Mexico.

    Tips for prospective students

    Its making major improvements. It will be a bigger and better university in years to come.

    Academic Rigor

    Dorm Life

    I have not been at any of the dorms.

    Food and Dining

    Theres a Starbucks and CHick-fil-A.

    This University has turned out to be really good. It has many computer labs, great teachers, and very helpful faculty throughout all campus. I definitely like attending The University of Texas at Brownsville.

    Academic Rigor

    The teachers here are excellent. They expect you to know what you are doing and have your assignments turned in on time. Accuracy and understanding is important to them and they expect you to think likewise.

    Dorm Life

    I do not live in a dorm.

    Food and Dining

    Every Wednesday the Student Life provides us with free food and a couple of events to enjoy while we are eating. I never miss one! Plus there is many places nearby the university that you can simply walk to.

    What to do for fun

    There are many campus activities. We have many plays, concerts, fun events, movie nights, and even video game days. Anything you can think of is available here.

    Clubs and Activities

    I would definitely recommend the video game club to anyone who enjoys video gaming and competing. There is also a Sign Language Club and it is always very interesting to go to.

    Campus Safety

    Campus police is always alert. We always have presentations on how to contact our campus police all the time. The school keeps us well informed on what to do in any situation that may occur.

    the campus is not active with student to student interaction; the campus does not feel like a college. the arts center is phenomenal, but the school's music programs are not up to the same level as the building itself. the campus feels surprisingly safe though, despite being so close to the mexican border.

    Tips for prospective students

    prospective students should understand that, despite the fact that the college is relatively cheap, there will be a lot of older students, especially adults that are attending in order to finish their education, so the campus will not feel like a college, but rather than an all-age daycare.

    Dorm Life

    the dorms are one of the best things about the campus. the new housing is within a brand new apartment that was purchased by the school.

    Food and Dining

    there is very limited food selections; i am not even sure if there is an on-campus cafeteria.

    What to do for fun

    the mall is a five minute drive from the campus. the exercise area (rek) is a top notch area. other than that, there are very few campus activities, and most are selective towards athletes.

    Bang for the buck

    the education you receive matches the amount you pay, in which case, is a poor amount. the classes are as cheap as your professor's teaching plans. nearly all of my teachers were either uneducated, absent, or both. it is easy to get an a, but with the amount of effort your teachers and classmates put in, it will be very easy to slack off and get a b or c.
