How Big is UTEP's Student Population?

Hey everyone, I'm thinking about applying to the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) and was wondering about the size of the student population there. Could someone tell me approximately how many students attend UTEP? I'm interested in smaller class sizes and a close-knit community vibe. Thanks in advance!

Hello! The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) has a student population of approximately 25,000 students. This figure includes undergraduate and graduate students. While the overall student population might seem relatively large at first glance, the class sizes and community atmosphere may still vary depending on your major and the classes you choose to take.

For instance, some introductory courses may have larger class sizes, but as you progress in your major and take more specialized classes, you will likely find smaller class sizes that can foster a close-knit community among students and professors. Additionally, getting involved with clubs, organizations, and extracurricular activities on campus can also create that tight-knit feeling you're looking for.

Before making a decision, it might be helpful to take a tour of the UTEP campus and attend a few classes to get a better sense of the class sizes and community vibes in different academic departments. This will help you make a more informed decision about whether UTEP aligns with your preferences regarding class size and community atmosphere. Good luck with your college search!
