Amanda Lee Longoria
It is common for people in the Valley to want to pursue a degree elsewhere, but what I love about UTRGV is that it provides me with the unique opportunity to be able to take classes at my hometown, or away from home. This institution also provides exceptional opportunities for first-generation students, like myself, that are not offered elsewhere.
