When you are born and raised in El Paso, it is not ideal to go to UTEP. However, the thing in which I bragged most about and still brag about is the school pride everyone has. Although many people attending UTEP are not doing so by choice, we are still very proud of our school and to call ourselves miners. Even now, meeting someone who also attended UTEP is a great feeling to be able to share the connection we have for the love of our school.

I don't brag. There is nothing significant about this school since admissions accept everyone. It doesn't mean it's a bad school, it's just average because most residents of El Paso go to this school since it is the most accessible.

That I am proud to be a miner and the first generation to be attending
Juan
A financial friendly school that has everything any other college has and gives students the ability to graduate without having an extensive amount of student loan debt.

The location of the University of Texas at El Paso allows for a diversity of cultures. Each year the different communities work together and bring the students of the university an international food fair. All the communities cook a special dish and some of them even bring clothing or costumes used in special occasions.
My university is very concentrated on the success of the students, it offers many programs that excels their knowledge. One of my favorite programs is the research program, which allows the students from different departments to be part of the solution finding process.

When I tell my friends about my expierence so far at the University, I tell them how much of a difference it is and how great the community is. The college community is so diverse and you get to expierence different teachings from the professors. The environment is very mature and very very enjoyable compared to high school.

The one thing i brag most about is how the teacher can understand that for many students attending, english was not their first langage, therefore teachers tend to do an amazing job working with you.
Valerie
The business college is ranked high nationwide and I really enjoy being part of it.
Elise
I tell people that I enjoy the flexibility of online classes. Also, I like that I am saving money by attending this school as opposed to going to the previous university to complete the same degree.

I usually brag about the baskeball team.
Erika
When I tell my friends about my school I brag about how hard the classes are. When my friends mention how easy their classes are at their community college or other universities I frown. I tell them that I love UTEP so much because instead of gliding through it to get my diploma I am actually learning the material I will be needing in the future for my career. I do not want the easy way out, I love to brag that my school challenges me and because it does I will be a better employee in the future.

I love my schools gym! Its an open air gym, 4 floors of machines, an indoor basketball court, an indoor swimming pool, a track, and it even has a rock climbing wall. The students are not judgemental they are very nice they dont judge you and you dont get bullied around. They offer free fitness classes like kickboxing, weight lifting, and zumba. If you are a person who likes to exercise, UTEP is the place for you!
Melissa
I don't really brag about anything. I do like to give random little facts like "Did you know that the Fox Fine Arts building is modeled almost exactly like the one in UT Austin?" I also tell people that, contrary to popular belief, UTEP is actually a pretty good school. Some of the best teachers I've had are the ones that I've had during my years at UTEP.
Sean
I brag about the fact that my school is one of the top schools in the nation for Engineering. UTEP students are recognized after graduating as well educated students with hands on experience. I also brag that the professors help each individual student.
Jazmin
The biology department is continually growing, last year they inaugurated a 45 million dollar research building with state of the art equipment.
Abiodun
I tell them about they flexible curriculum, the large auditorium and buildings in the school.
Lindsey
This school has a very close-knit community because the majority of students who attend here, grrew up in this city. It is hard to walk very far on campus without running into someone that you know. There is a lot of pride for this school throughout the whole city, not just the school community, which I think is neat and unique.
John
Since I live here, my friends know all about UTEP. However, what I would tell someone who wasn't from here is that UTEP has a high hispanic enrollement population. I'm from a border town and I enjoy the fact that in the United States, you can go to different parts of the country and experience a wide variety of cultures which is what makes this country great. UTEP, like the U.S., has a wide variety of ethnicities and that makes for very interesting conversations. I would recommend to anyone who likes hot weather to attend UTEP.
Jessica
What I brag most about University of Texas at El Paso would be the few teachers that I have encountered so far as great teachers of their disipline. I would also brag about how well they train you in different athletic areas. I would also brag as to how utep is continuing to grow and change to help make the school better for incoming students and current students.

When I look at the students that attend The University of Texas at El Paso, I see that they are all united by their love for the school. Not only does it have beautiful architecture, but it also is surrounded by the mountains that many here at El Paso are proud of. This is also a school that provides its students the great quality of education that they are looking for. Recently, one of the professors at the university has been recognized by the president of the United States.
