The University of Texas of the Permian Basin is a great school! I am an online student because of Covid but the staff is very helpful in helping me find ways to stay home and get my college education. When I have been to the campus every one was friendly and very helpful. They also have done a lot to keep their students safe during this pandemic but at the same time giving safe ways for students to get their college experiences. They are also giving ways for students like me who are online because of the pandemic to stay healthy mentally as they understand the pandemic can take a mental toll on people who have to be stuck inside. It definitely reassures me as a student to know how much the school cares about its students.
I had a rough start with the communication between financial aid offices, housing, and academic advisors. It was hard to get a proper response on time, or even get a response from some people I tried talking to which put a lot of stress on me trying to move 5 hours away from home and by myself. As well as issues with authorities, some people in charge of housing do not care at all and some care absolutely way too much. They would pick and choose when to enforce rules leading to people getting comfortable for months doing things in front of those in charge and then all of a sudden it's a change and it is no longer ok. I think everyone needs to be on the same page and learn how to communicate better with the students because it messes with some students money as they may be taking a class they don't need and won't know until 2 years later. As well as being more organized as a university, I didn't expect to run into so many issues when this isn't their first year running.
I enjoyed having the support given and staff encouraging students to ask for help when needed. I am an early college student, it was my first year at UTPB; however, since I have college credits I’m considered as a junior. Since It was my first year I was able to get the help a freshman would get on their first year!
