The University of Texas at El Paso Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about The University of Texas at El Paso? Why?

esmeralda

The worst thing about my school is that the food and the supplies are expensive. Sometimes it is required to buy certain things that are expensive yet you hardly use them. The food is also very expensive; a sandwitch is about 6 dollars and it doesn't even fill you up.

I believe not letting military student know they need to bring paperwork every year in order to pay resident fees.

Elise

Although online classes are a big benefit for me, sometimes it's frustrating to not be able to deal with things directly on campus. For example, I can't get a campus ID card because you have to go in to the office in person to have your picture taken. I live in California, so going in is not possible for me. I think the school needs to make some adjustments to accomodate their online students a little better.

James

The campus itself is old and very small when compared to other universities in Texas and can use a great amount of remodeling in order to bring it up to a more modern state especially since in two years the campus will be reaching its bicentennial anniversary in 2014.

Jacob

The only thing that I would consider to be "worse" about UTEP is that after 2:00 P.M. it stops feeling like a college and no one usually sticks around or gets involved.

Jose

The price of the tuition.

Marilyn

The worst thing would be student apathy. Like said above, if you have motivation you can climb mountains but be ready to feel frustrated when asking others to join.

Michelle

What I consider to be the worst thing about my school is tuition. Having to worry if i will get enough loans from financial aid is always very stressful.

Cilda

There can be some miscommunication among departments. Also, not all offices will go the extra mile to help students out so they send them from one office another, which can be very frustrating. I think that their dedication could be improved.

Lorianne

The way the campus is set up on uneven ground, sometimes I have to run up hills to make it to class in time, and it takes alot out of me. Also sometimes when I am trying to get things done I get sent to many different departments and get the run around or the things they say that they fixed it and didn't.

John

Unfortunately, with a multitude of differences in cultures and religions, not everyone will get along. There are times when tensions arrise from different groups of people. Although prejudice does exists, it is a rare occasion and I find that through taking things out, most problems tend to go away.

Martha

The worst thing about UTEP, is the general lack of diversity. Living in a border town, almost everyone is hispanic, yet all our players are foreign, therefore an inaccurate representation of the student body.

Ada

The worst thing about my school in my opinion is that The health and Sciences building is like 15 minutes away from the main campus but they are already re-building the building in the main campus.

Lucero

The worst thing about my school is that some of the workers are very unorganized which causes the students various difficulties.

Jaime

The worst thing about the school is the way that the math department handles the class. It divides the class into three sections called modulars 1,2, and 3. This is very bad because the students are only given one month to learn alot. Then when the end of the semester comes, you take a test on all three modules.

Michael

There aren?t many afternoon classes at the University of Texas as El Paso. When trying to create a schedule that best fits my ability to concentrate, waking up at 5 in the morning everyday to attend a 7:30 am class is not a logical approach but just might be necessary.

Joanna

In my case, I would have liked to get an opportunity for my school to appreciate my talents as an athlete. Unfortunately, the UTEP coaches are so busy with the actual team and the foreign players, that they forget the incoming students also have dreams and desires.

Raven

The worst thing about my school is that it has a reputation for being a 'slacker' school, just because it is located in a city that already has quite a bad reputation for not having the brightest inhabitants. It is pretty bad when someone feels sorry for you because you are attending this school.

Kathy

The worst thing I would consider about my school is that they really don't have a lot of funding for the resources that will help the students more in achieving their full potential in my opinon.
