Longstanding residents welcome student neighbors
Rim-University, located on the outskirts of El Paso along Rim Road, offers a distinct blend of urban, suburban and rural feels. The community is characterized by its adjacency to the 430-acre University of Texas at El Paso campus (UTEP), sprawling across the West Texas desert. Many off-campus students reside in the neighborhood’s duplexes, apartments and condos. Longtime residents and students coexist harmoniously within the community. “Our neighbors are welcoming, they never make the college students feel like a burden,” says former UTEP student Jocelyn Brito. “The neighborhood will throw parades and special events and we’re always welcome to stop by. The community is really warm.”
