The worst thing about UTB it's their parking space.

I really don't think there is a bad thing about my school. If there is anything bad, it would be some of the students but the majority are students that are focused, and love the school. The bad students are usually seen only a semester and then dissapear of our lives. This school is great and I don't see anything wrong with it.

The worst thing about my school is the parking. There isn't enough parking spaces for the students and everyday it's a struggle.

The worst thing I cosider about my school are the students who give us a bad name, the students who drop out and dont graduate. Those students then go on saying that UTB is a bad school, while in reality people here don't want to try. I don't consider anything bad about this school, just the students.

The major problem about my school is that some of the students are not college-ready due to their poor academic performances. Moreover, some of the professors are making the students too comfortable in their grades by using academic curve to the extreme. Academic curve gives undue advantages to some students despite of their porous performances in homeworks, tests and the finals. This favor eventually boomerang on the students whenever they go to another school out of the valley. They(students) found it hard to cope which leads to unproductiveness. I believe grades should be awarded based on merits.

The worst thing about my school is that even though we say we are smoke free campus, students do not care and don't follow the rule.

There really isn't anything bad about my school. It's really stressful because we are college and high school students but high school wise, i would say that the worst thing would be that there are no sports to join. I used to think that, but now I understand why we don't have any; it's because we get too much work and we really don't have time for anything else.

Maybe, and just maybe, the fact that I need to walk a lot to get to my classes. But, it is not a real problem, because of the fact that walking is a healthy activity for everyone.

Walking across campus in the hot sun.

The worst thing about the University of Texas at Brownsville is that activities are not advertised as much for the students to attend to. Activities set on campus are not known enough in advance for the student to decide whether they wish to attend or not.

The only complain I have about this school is the lack of better parking areas near the buildings of better interest. Even the students who have a parking pass/permit do not have parking spaces nearby. People park on the sides of the streets in the nearby neighborhoods making it a dangerous road to walk on since the cars block students walking by. However I must admit they have done a good job at creating more parking lots for students while complying with the neighbors or so I assume.

The lack of inspiration. Most people just like to party and skip out on studying.

What I consider the worst thing at this school is that their isnt any parking during class hours, we have to fight for parking so we can get to class. The University would of been great if it had more parking for us students and even more there isnt too much shade here! it gets really hot since wheir in south texas. So parking and no shade is the worst thing here so far that bothers me.

the area around the school is not very safe becuause north philly is a rough area

The worst thing about my school is the parking. There is way to many students driving their cars to school and not enough parking spaces for everyone. We pay sixty dollars at the beggining of the semester for our parking permits and sometimes can't even park in the student parking lots because every available space is taken up. We end up parking far from the school and sometimes it causes us to be late for our classes. I don't see how hard it would be to make more parking spaces for the students.

The worst thing about my school has to be it's concentration on science majors. Fall 2011 was the first semester where I took science courses at this university and I was disgusted. I had previously taken science courses at UTPA in Edinburg, Texas so my expectations were high. However, at UTB the labs were dirty, missing equipment, dirty equipment, stained equipment, uncomfortable seating, missing specimens, etc. The professor always mentioned "the school didn't have enough funds to provide us with these specimens we need for dissection". I heard that all the time at UTB.

One of the worse things about the university, is that the buildings and rooms get in the way of our learning, for example the outlets sometimes do not work which affects our access to our work.

The worst thing about my university is that the non-smoking policy isn’t really enforced. There are many signs and bulletin boards full of non-smoking facility sign but neither the professors, nor certain students follow it. I know people with chronic diseases that can’t be too close to the smoke but it’s hard to avoid it when there are people smoking everywhere. It’s uncomfortable to hold your breath while walking from class to the next or to just be outside doing your homework. They should really be considerate about other people in the University.

not having a football or basketball team. Because there is a lot of talent at the school.

The worst thing would be finding a parking spot nearest to my class. The search takes a lot of vaulable time to find and most of the time , I never find one and have to park far away.
