LaTasha
I appreciate its affordability, supportive staff, and small class sizes. UHV’s professors are approachable and helpful, and the school fosters a strong sense of community. The campus is welcoming, and the university offers a range of events and activities to enhance student life. I enjoy the small-town feel of Victoria, Texas, which provides a quieter environment for studying, though some limited entertainment options nearby
UHV’s online programs are flexibility, allowing to balance school with other commitments. The dorms are in close proximity to campus, and there are meal plans and dining options that offer convenience and quality. However, UHV could expand its selection of online courses and increase campus facilities.
Overall, UHV is a viable choice for those seeking a budget-friendly education in a close-knit environment.
Celestina
The overall campus vibe is good. The staff is nice and the Professors work with us if we do not understand a certain topic in class. Some clubs and events involve cool activities. For example, game night, movie night, walk and glow fundraisers, etc. Overall everything is very lively, with good vibes, and would recommend it if you are going for a 4 year degree.
Brendan
I believe that university of houston victoria is a relly good school a i cant personally see any flaw in anything they offer. The only downside is the location doesnt speak with the college very well. I also believe that the school is relativly new so its a good thing because they are still adding lots of stuff.
Hailey
This university is the perfect one to go into right out of high school! I was very nervous about college, but then I found UHV. The faculty and staff are very approachable and easy to talk to, and they make sure that you are getting the best out of the university. My fellow students are always looking to help in any way they can, and the tutoring center is always available if I am struggling in a class.
Emilea
Academics are way better than the housing aspect of this University. The majority of professors actually care about the students success. Rez Life as a whole is unprofessional and the way they do room checks is bad. For example, my first living area sophomore year my roommates were nasty and the RA passed our room check when I knew for a fact we failed because of the nasty habits they had.
Angelina
University of Houston - Victoria is a small campus as of right now but it is growing each year and there are always changes each year to make student's have an even better college experience. There are several building under construction and more being planned for the future. I find the atmosphere of the university to be relaxing and I feel very safe on campus. The classrooms are updates with the tools to help teachers teach well for the sometimes large class sizes. Many of the instructors drive in from out of town however, so many times there are no office hours so questions must be asked in class or via email. Though this is the case, the instructors are great and communicating with students on a daily basis. I would recommend this university to other students as I feel that I am getting a good quality education here.
Valerie
Overall, the campus is okay. Its pretty small for a university. Most of the people are nice. However, for my degree in education I have had a lot of trouble with educational advisors, professors, and the program overall. The university is best for business, not for education. The program for secondary teachers does not fully prepare you with their courses and it is needed for the State tests to become a teacher. There has also been a lot of sexual (un-safe) and drug use in the dorms as well.
Briana
I absolutely love the University of Houston-Victoria. I actually transferred to this university from a much bigger university last May (therefore I've been attending the University of Houston-Victoria for nearly a year and a half) and I LOVE IT here! Because the size of this university is much smaller than I was previously accustomed to, I was pleasantly surprised with the quick access to facilities and faculty here on campus (no more LONG waiting lines). This is a fantastic university that I recommend and it is a great place to get a higher education.
Mary
My overall opinion on UHV is that it’s a very flexible school and meets a lot of students needs and wants . At UHV students never feel like they are just some other student in the classroom, they are very comfortable with asking questions and making friends.
PRECIOUS
The University of Houston Victoria is a great college. Sometimes there are intellectual conversations outside of class. At the University of Houston Victoria, they live for the game. Their campus contains beautiful sightseeing pictures
Brianna
This school has a variety of academics available both online and offline. The teachers are nice and all seem to have a positive review on RateMyProfessor, so if a student is curious about how a teacher works through their class, a review of them exists. All of the advisors and students that I have worked with are well spoken and very helpful, and the school is affordable.
Lordina
My overall opinion of University of Houston-Victoria is great. Everyone here is friendly and always willing to help as long as you are willing to ask for help. The classes are very inclusive and we partake in discussions to allow us to fully understand the lectures.
Adriana
I really like, there are so many things they can do for you here, career wise , they are friendly and help you if needed and I can learn better here.
Uyen
My overall opinion about University of Houston-Victoria is I don't dislike or love the school but I do love the area. it's a small school which is great but the not so great is the motel like dorm and fire alarm going off at 3-5am i think it's unnecessary for practices when there are students having to wake up 6-7am for class. Also, the cost of the dorm are so expensive to the point that every students I talked to would rather get an apartment and drive to school than stay in the dorm.
Jessica
As a current student, the University has an overall excellent environment. The professors and staff are always on point. Student Life almost always has something going for students to be involved in. Sure Victoria may be small, but UHV is a small University, so it is a perfect place to attend. Plus the new Commons Center is going to be a wonderful new addition to the University. #GoJags

What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
I have a sense of accomplishment that I have long dreamt of. Having a bachelor’s degree is a positive step to job security. My self esteem is high and I have built high level of confidence. I will use the skills learned to volunteer and render help the society. I feel great and fulfilled because I can take care of myself after my education. I have great memories and have made lots of friends during my academic life. I am very fortunate to experience different people from different cultures. I have respect for all and value other cultures now.
Going to school has been valuable because it has broadened my knowledge. It will allow me to earn valuable skills and with a college degree many doors of opportunities will open for me. It is a virtue to go to college honestly. I will be able to get promotions, raises and opportunities for better positions. With a good job, I will be able to pay off the loans I borrowed towards my education.
Evergreen students are typically friendly, laid-back, socially and environmentally conscious, a little on the liberal side, and most endeavor to go beyond what our classes cover, often through on of our many extra-curricular activities and groups
The interdisciplinary nature of the programs, and lack of required classes. Students can not only follow their dreams and study what they want, without having to take classes they are not interested in, but the classes bridge a variety of subjects, seamlessly integrating them for a more cohesive, balance education.
What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?
University is expanding so frequent changes/organizational fluctuations can be confusing; smaller town is growing also so housing and typical college 'kid' social activities are still in the development process as well; with a smaller university the tuition may be lower, but sometimes expensive facilities or more highly advanced equipment is not available/less research opportunities/post-grad continuance support, etc.
What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?
This school has quality teachers, excellent learning environment, low tuition fees, offers various scholarship programs and mentors students from diverse background.
I think our school is known for being small and being an education oriented school...it's no party school! We are also known for our sports teams especially this year with the new freshman coming in to the picture.
