San Antonio, TX
The University of Texas at San Antonio

When I think of UTSA, what first comes to mind is amicable smiles and the smell of Chick Fil-A emanating from the generously-spaced cafeteria. Ever since I first stepped on that campus, I've always felt a sense of comfort and freedom to be myself because students are generally accepting and respect other's uniqueness. UTSA holds a special place in my heart because it has allowed me to find a wonderful group of friends in a short period of time after struggling for several months to "fit in." Prior to attending UTSA, I had been dealing with many changes in my life and I was constantly moving from one city to another due to financial issues, which complicated my ability to establish long-lasting friendships. However, UTSA made that possible for me thanks to its standards and the community it has built over time. Go Runners!

I am a freshman who just completed his first semester of college at The University of Texas at San Antonio and I love the campus atmosphere. Everyone on campus is very friendly and welcoming, in addition, the campus is very well knit together. It's easy to make friends with people and come together with individuals to form study groups and there are plenty of places to study, but there are also plenty of places to go have fun and hang out with your friends. Overall, I love the feel of the campus at UTSA and I will definitely be here for the rest of my college career.

I love the atmosphere at UTSA. It is a whole different feeling than what it is back home. The diversity at UTSA is huge and that plays a huge roll in our everyday learning. I have made many new friends and I know that I will make plenty more. I would give UTSA a solid 10 out of 10.

The University of Texas at San Antonio has been my top choice for a very long time because of all the extraordinary aspects. It is a beautiful campus with an amazing student body who are always very kind and happy to help those in need. The academics are top notch with an amazing national ranked Cybersecurity program. I am proud to be a future UTSA roadrunner.

The school is decent, but honestly if you do not have a car then that puts a limit on the opportunities that you can participate in. It can get boring at times, I truthfully feel like this is a school that you really have to make the most of or else all you’ll do is complain. Promoting groups sucks, and the only time people really know about the school is when it’s tied to Travis Scott or Chi Alpha and you would think since Travis lived around here the school would math the hype, but they dont. Kinda lame, but the education system is decent.

The University of Texas at San Antonio is an outstanding college who stands out amongst nearby colleges. There is always something to do on or around campus and the environment set by the students is incredible. You feel at home and welcomed by faculty, students, and even their furry friends. Academically, we offer several programs and opportunities to whatever your career goal might be. Lastly, there is a ton of resources available for any category. Whether it is a simple cold or help on an internship interview, the resources on campus are very accessible and everyone is always willing to lend a helping hand. Overall, I am very happy with my choice to attend this school and am excited about what this school might offer for my future.

UTSA is probably one of the most difficult schools to attend. Not academics wise, but life wise. It is very expensive and the financial aid department is awful and little help. The classes will almost always be in a lecture hall, there is very little one on one with professors. The class sizes are huge my smallest class is 40 and the next classes after that can range from 50 to 100. It is a party school and is very noisy on the weekends. The dorms are paper thin and have awful smells. The population is very diverse which might be the only upside besides being so close to other stores. Also there is absolutely no parking because 75% of the parking is under construction. So even if you do have a car you might have to park somewhere else and take the bus. Just hope your car won't get towed which is very common for UTSA.

I honestly love attending this school! There are many things to get involved in and the academics are great! All the professors are fantastic!

Overall, the university is a good school, but it has much more unmet potential. Granted, the university is young, only fifty years old, but San Antonio is a culture rich area that the university should take more advantage of. The university needs to do more national outreach, rather than to just Texas residents. If the school was more known nationwide, there would be a bigger student population and even more opportunities for the school as a whole.

Its a good school with plenty of diversity and great academics. Not only are the teachers extremely credible, but they are also there after class hours ready to help anyone in need. The campus is very nice and the lunch setting is convenient. I appreciate the detail put into the establishments.
