I love this school! The professors and advisors are there to help you and make sure you succeed. I like that it's a fairly new campus because everything is so new and clean! The classes are very good and informational. I learned a lot being here. I'm going to miss it so much! Definitely not a party school so come here if you're ready to learn!

Excelent school everyone is friendly.

Professional behavior is sacrosanct among the people employed on campus. The campus cafeteria and coffee shop are gourmet quality. And the overall campus is an inspiration to scholarship with strategically furnished places to study indoors and outdoors.

I hate school but I love this school and everything about it
Overall 5
I love this school. It is a great campus with amazing people. The classes are decent sizes, enough people that the professor does not forget your name. You can build real connections with professors and students. I highly recommend this school. For the cost, no one in San Antonio beats it.

Spend your money elsewhere especially veterans they have no parking they expect disabled students to park 1000 yards away and will give you a ticket for parking close to class. The food is over priced and nasty. The office people are lacking brain cells they dont care about students they only care about your money.

The advisors do not know what they are doing. I keep getting the run around. I have tried for 2 years to get credit for a class I was told I would get credit for and have gotten a degree with. Nothing still, the registrars office ignore the advisors and do not respond to the students. Parking is the worst, You have to park far away and not safe.

The two main computer science faculty of Ahktar Lodger and Jeong Yang need to be fired. There is no vision for students collaborating and working together. They discourage the use of common industry-standard tools and version control. STAY AWAY FROM THIS SCHOOL FOR COMPUTER SCIENCE. Also in they give zero constructive feedback on assignments.

Lets just say, Im soooo glad I'm transferring. I couldn't wait to get out of this place. Its in a super sketchy part of town and makes you feel like you're at a rough Southside school. Students are extremely rude and this campus is not diverse at all, classes are almost to easy, not much to do to get involved. In a nut shell, I hated this place...

Insufficient parking which is shocking because youre in the middle of nowhere. So poor planning. Cafeteria is overpriced and terrible quality. Lackluster professors. This school only cares about taking your money, expanding their campus and riding the A&M name. This is a community college masquerading as a university. At a university price tag.

Worst decision I've ever made, if I could transfer, I would. Most grad students in the MBA program work FT; they can't attend class at 11:00am or 4:00pm. The class selection is so limited, by the time you reach your electives, you'll be taking classes on health insurance & accounting systems just to meet the 6 credit hr min. Waste of time & money!!

The school tell they well help you be successful, but there write lab is very incompetent and not helpful at all. The teacher do not teach at the y just tell you to read the book . during the class time they just talk about there personal and not do teach the course. This is the worst school I've every attended. I highly advise you to go to anther

Feels like it's out in the middle of nowhere. Very bad idea coming here, I am almost done so it makes no sense transferring now. However, I shouldn't have come here just to be close to fam. I could have visited back during the holidays, this place is so boring and lifeless, everyone is so local and boring, I wish there were more options here.

I had such high hopes for this school when I transferred. The academic advisors are so rude and none of them seem to know what they are doing. The food is bland and way too overpriced. I had a long commute and regret ever applying here. The school is so small. A total of like 3 buildings? Not very many clubs or sports to get involved in. DONT GO
