After conducting extensive research on many of Texas’ finest schools, I decided to attend The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA). I initially thought the coursework would be simple and uninteresting, but after three rigorous semesters, I came to the conclusion that UTSA’s world-class faculty provides students with challenging and appealing course material. It’s no wonder that UTSA is one of the fastest growing universities in Texas and the US.

The university is undergoing rapid expansion and growth which will undoubtedly bolster its reputation as a highly regarded academic institution. From 2006-2009 UTSA completed $250 million in construction projects. These projects included an overhaul of the John Peace Library, Multidisciplinary Studies building, and the Humanities and Social Sciences building. Furthermore, the expansion included the addition of familiar dining franchises such as Burger King, Starbucks, and Taco Cabana. More recently, Chili’s Too (an express version of Chili’s offering half of Chili’s normal menu items and inexpensive entrees) opened on campus.

UTSA is also starting an NCAA Division I football team coached by the prestigious Larry Coker, who led the Miami Hurricanes to a national championship in 2001. They will start their initial season in the Fall of 2011 and play home games at the Alamo Dome until a home field is constructed.

With all of these momentous changes abound, it’s a good time to be at UTSA. Go Roadrunners!
