Campus Life
- UTSA has got 2 different campuses; facilities are absolutely great. Lots of events throughout the year.
- Lots of opportunities for students in extracurricular activities like sports, music, and many others; students should actively look to be part of various clubs.
- There is a lot to explore here; however, with course loads, it is hard to manage time between studies and other activities if not able to manage smartly.
Accommodation
- Online platforms like websites of housing and apartments. Notice boards, groups. The Indian Student Association of UTSA has a website created that gives insight into a lot of useful information like this.
- There are fb and WhatsApp groups, which constantly keep sharing info on available accommodations.

Accommodation

I found my accommodation through facebook and our college website. On our university website they provide a list of on-campus and off-campus accommodation options so I go through that and contact to the leasing office for getting more details. In starting it was so confusing but by time I started understanding. Main problem I faced was my visa interview was too late so I couldn't book apartment early and in the end I didn't have so many options. My accommodation is just 1 mile away from my university.

I am going to share one secret with you all. Basically we heard that in US they don't do bargaining and all. But I would say try that. I got private bed bath apartment in just 574. And it real price was almost 700 per month. I also waived off the guarantor requirement. And I did all of these things on a call from india.so just try bargaining and see what if you will also be lucky.
Campus Life
Extracurricular activities are good.I like libraries and sport facilities but sometimes I think we are paid for every services which we even don’t use.
Accommodation
Sharing would be the best option for firstcomers I think as you will have company and it will relieve some of your homesickness.Otherwise,university housing is also good option.
It was close to my hometown, and the campus was not overly big. I took a tour and immediately felt welcomed and not intimidated by the size or people on the campus. The university had all the amenities of a big city campus, without the busyness and noise.
