Student reviews

Campus and vibes

Current Student

I love the atmosphere on UTSA’s campus! You are automatically welcomed and the campus is beautiful. It is super easy to get around and the campus is a perfect size, not too big and not too small! We are offered amazing recreational facilities and our staff is very friendly! Also, I have lived on campus the past two years and I enjoyed both of my dorm rooms along with the ample food options provided.

Freshman

I really don't know if I can give a very coherent review of UTSA. It's a good school with mostly good professors, an easygoing atmosphere, and a ton of nice people, but I'm attending right now because I'm a CAP student (someone going to a UT system school for a year before transferring to UT). I basically got automatic admission to UTSA and didn't have to do anything to apply, so I really don't know anything about the application process.

Freshman

I was rejected from UT Austin, but I was offered the CAP program. I applied for this program at UTSA and was accepted. It was a generally easy admission process.
