I chose UTRGV because of the variety of people and opportunities academically. At UTRGV, I was able to achieve my dream of being able to graduate debt-free!
What made me feel more comfortable and assured is the fact that UTRGV offers a bilingual, bicultural, and biliterate education which has made the transition process for me, as a first-generation student, easier.
