The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $3,061/year net cost and $11,000 median debt at graduation, this is one of the most affordable university options you'll find anywhere, making it a genuinely strong choice for cost-conscious students, particularly those with ties to the Laredo region. However, the 49% graduation rate is a real concern — nearly half of students who start here don't finish, which is worth taking seriously when planning your path.
