I chose UTRGV because of its affordable tuition and how close to home it was. Not many get the privilege of receiving a quality education close to home, and that was something I really wanted and UTRGV provided just that. I knew this was the right choice when I set foot on campus and saw the way UTRGV embraced the community and our culture.
