I really like how my university is small yet diverse. This University is amazing for interacting and becoming close with people you may not have considered talking to you. We have students from all over the country, but even better, all over the world. The diversity is great for opening one's horizons and seeing different perspectives. The size is phenomenal for getting interpersonal interaction with professors and creating life-long friendships and relationships!
Review University of Texas - Permian Basin
This University is small enough where you don't feel like a number. You can go to any building on campus whether it be financial aid, registrar or admissions and you won't have to wait in a long drawn out line. You can take classes online as well on the campus. The professors and advisors are very courteous, attentive, and make your college years worthwhile. Not to mention, this University is very affordable. Very pleased to have earned my degree from UTPB!
Apartment style dorms, were one gets a room to oneself, shares a bathroom with one other person, and a living room with three. Freshman next year may have it rougher with the typical college style dorms that are being built, but upperclassmen dorms are to die for. Very chill environment!
