Nothing or without opportunities for a graduate student who has a verbal disability (ASD) and has higher GPA with honors and strong academic/technical skills since graduating from a 4-year university for a bachelor's. Yet, it is hard to get an on-campus job since I applied for their GA positions. Those are competitive and I did not get the spot :(

This school is terrible
Overall 1
There is no one at this school who cares if you graduate. Everything is way harder to navigate than it should be. You'll get a notice a week before classes start that you need to do something with your advisor and then your advisor wont be able to see you for 2 weeks. You'll sit on hold for 2 hours any time you try to talk to anyone about anything.
Overall 1
There is no accountability for the staff. They value profits over education.
Overall 1.5
Only good thing about this school it is in a central location, everything else sucks. Came to this school due ton the central location but they have too high of a acceptance rate and they do not accommodate for it what so ever.
Overall 1.8
The professors do not teach, a pre-made curriculum is used so, everything is on Quizlet. BTW This school has the worst internet ever! There are no interesting social clubs; all are small. Safety-wise, beware there is a lot of car theft at UTSA. Then, there is a parking issue. At campus, you park what feels like 10 miles away from your destination
