The University of Texas at San Antonio Top Questions

I wish I had known that I would have to study so much.

I wish that someone would have explained to me what exactly I can get out of college. What the degree means and the simple fact that I can major in more that one field would have helped me make decisions about what I want to study. I wish I had known what a degree plan is and that some courses overlap saving me money. Also, having known that taking basics at a community college transfers for equal credit and that I didn't have to be in such a hurry to get in and out in four years.

I wish I had known more about the programs being offered in each college. I should have researched more thoroughly each college and what degrees and programs it had to offer. I also should have talked to the Advising Center to better understand the hours and requirements needed for the degree plans I was interested in.

Before I came to this school I wish I knew how the meal plan worked, I ended up with too many meals and dine-in dollars that aren't carried over to the next semester.

I wish I had known that parking permits were so expensive! Also, I wish I had known that if you do not have a permit, then you pay for parking by the hour. I have no idea how much money I've spent on parking this semester.

That I can't jump ahead in the music performance program. Have to start from level one in the performance program, because UTSA doesn't want to give credit to transfers that might not meet their expectations of performance level, which is fine.

I wish I had known more about cheaper off campus housing and APA writing style.

Making friends is harder than it seems and that it's hard to juggle between sports and school.

I wish I would have known about all the volunteer opportunities available.

More financially ready.
