The University of Texas at San Antonio Top Questions

There is a general lack of school spirit. Most people walk around wearing t-shirts sporting other universities. I suppose it has to do with the fact that the athletics department lacks a football program. But that is about to change in 2011.

It can be very demanding when it comes to the number of text books required for each class and the cost of each one.

My biggest frustration about this school is the rising cost of tuition and all of the fees. I am aware that my tuition cost is not nearly as high as many other accredited universities, but in the last three years my tuition has jumped by the hundreds of dollars. I started with one part time job until my hours were cut due to our mild economic depression, so I decided to get another part time job. Financial aid has been hard to come across for me because I live at home. This increase in tuition has effected many students.

This semester the school does not provide transportation for students that live in certain apartments.

Once again the parking would be the most frustrating thing at the school. Also depending on your class and professor the work assignments might be very frustrating. So other than those two things there aren't many other things that are frustrating at the school.

sometimes the classes are too far apart from each other

I feel that the school has grown so much and now all the offices of the school are not on the same page. It is very hard to find someone who knows all the answers to your questions. Have a lot of students working in the offices that do not know too much.

I don't have a real complaints. I like this school very much. The student population is probably a little overwhelming, but I can understand why so many students choose my school.

It's trying to catch up to its greatly increasing student population.

It really isn't very frustrating, just a bit teedious. Everything seems to be on a second floor level. There are lots of stairs, all that seem are only going up. Other than that, I have no other complaints.

The most frustrating thing at school is having large classes, along with having a part-time job and trying to keep up with all of the busy work and reading. There never seems to be enough time in the day to get everything finished.

Parking spaces. Although the school is beautiful with the design of its architecture the hassile of finding a parking spot may sometimes cause a student to be late or tardy. Many students park on the surroundings streets around the campus because the number of parking slots available does not accomidate the number of students attending the University.

Many of the classes are large so it's sometimes hard to get assistance when you really need it. Also, many of the students seem more concerned with partying and drinking on the weekends instead of taking thier studies seriously.

Professors are somtimes very boring.

There is no school spirit and very little involvment from the student body. Also the administration is focusing on a football team when they should be concerned with the state of the library and lack of study space around campus. The only minority group represented is Hispanics.

Parking is very fustrating especially the first month or two of classes.

Some of the teachers are very unorganized and some of them never get to the point in their lectures. That makes it very hard to learn and when you try to explain why you seem to behaving a problem absorbing the information they call you lazy.
