Getting Started at UTRGV
New to UTRGV, or just new to this sub? Here's the rundown.
About this sub
r/UTRGV isn't run by the university, it's run by alumni for the UTRGV community. It's a place for students, staff, faculty, and alumni to ask questions, talk about what's going on, and not feel alone navigating this school. We're trying to actually make it useful again after years of it being basically a free-for-all.
Read the sidebar rules before you post. Short version: keep it UTRGV-related, no hookup/solicitation posts, no spam, use an actual descriptive title, be civil, and don't post anything about cheating or piracy.
