My experience at USW was one to remember. I transferred my junior year to play volleyball and the volleyball coach the first year I attended made my experience with the school not enjoyable. The second year I attended school we had a new volleyball coach and she made that season and the school year so much better! Besides where the school is located there is nothing I would change.
I do really like the University of The Southwest. It is more of an athletic school more than anything. It is a very small campus but the people/professors are great! Only athletes live on campus and attend in-class classes. So, the environment is very nice. A few things that should change with this university is the food. The cafeteria food is not the best. Being athletes and being constantly hungry then to go to the caf to eat is bad. Other then that maybe they should try to expand their schools because they do not have a wide selection with majors. Those are the only negatives, everything else is awesome.
USW is a University located on the border of NM and TX. USW for me wasn’t a good experience. The teachers didn’t teach much, just read off of presentations that they would find online. They never explained anything just expected us to know things, never asked if we understood or needed help, or even bothered to be interactive with us. Academically the school wasn’t great, but the people there were like family. The environment was great and I loved being around everyone there.
