“So far, my first week of school has been pretty productive. We started a bit late due to the cold weather but my professors were able to [explain things] well enough to where we just caught up.”
“My first week of class went pretty well. I came here last semester. So, I had an easy time finding … my classes and overall I really like my professors. They are all very nice and lay out the work that we are going to be doing for the semester very well. I really enjoyed the first week here.”
“Well, today is my first day [of] in-person class for both Edinburg and Brownsville. And for Edinburg, it was great, like, just the vibes and everything was great. I like my class. It was very fun. It was about mass media, which was really great but here in Brownsville, it’s my first time being here. It’s really great. … It’s just really pretty here [on] this campus and I just really like it.”
“It was good and pretty easy and it was really fun.”
“My first week of school was great. It’s really cold. I am late to class right now, so I have to go. V’s Up, guys.”
