An Impactful Student Experience

Student Life at UT Southern

My favorite thing about UT Southern is that it feels like a home away from home. Even though it’s in a smaller, less urban area than where I grew up, I’ve always felt like I belong here. I love how the community embraces the diversity of the university.

What I love about the school is the variety of opportunities it offers students, whether through campus jobs or leadership roles, like the Student Government Association.

The staff and faculty here genuinely care about your success and well-being, and you’re more than just a number here, unlike at larger universities. That’s what makes UTS so special!
