I chose UTRGV because it offers affordable, quality education while being located close to home. My three siblings and one parent have either graduated from UTRGV or are currently attending here. So, at this point, it is essentially a family tradition.

I chose UTRGV because of the affordability, because of how close to my family it was and because I have grown attached to the Valley.
