Why should someone consider attending UHV?

Students should consider attending UHV because of the great academic programs the university has to offer, affordable tuition, small classes, and the opportunity to influence the growth of our university.

What advice would you give an incoming freshman?

My advice for incoming freshmen is to use your time wisely, that determines whether you are going to be successful at UHV or not. Change work habits. Stay bold, stay hungry.
