I chose UTRGV because it offers excellent programs all while staying close to home. UTRGV has given me the opportunity to branch out to both campuses where I network with staff members and build a real relationship between my professors. I believe these relationships are crucial when it comes to looking for opportunities in the working field and UTRGV will continue to be a significant resource for me in the future.
