UTEP
does not offer a single experience. There are positives and
negatives. Negatives: large freshman classes.
Open admissions. Many
freshmen are unprepared and apathetic.
Attitude. Many students seem to
think college is a fashion show. Campus is full of
kids thinking they are hot **** with their Hollister and
Aeropostale Outlet Mall outfits. A lot of these students show
up to classes with a high school attitude, they talk
and text the whole time.
Positives: Once you get past
the freshman level, and into upper division courses in your
major or minor, most of the immature students are weeded
out or have grown up a bit.
Faculty are generally
welcoming or helpful, but this varies widely by department.
Some
people may be put off by the lack of social
activity, but if you want to focus on learning, those
distractions are gone.
