UT-San Antonio, San Antonio Ranking 2026 from QS, THE & US NEWS

• There are no such things as on-campus placements; there are job fairs where we talk to representatives of organisations and try to pitch our candidacy.
• In my subject and field, that is, environmental science: around 50% get jobs within first 6 months Salary: ~70K-90K in Texas per annum Job sites are the best places to find jobs.

• 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.

• There are many companies which comes to our university like Adobe, dell, Microsoft but they are very few, maybe because of the current market in it field. But lots of companies come to hire civil engineers.
• There are huge demand for them. Many seniors from it field still looking for jobs even after their graduation. One of my friend get summer internship in Microsoft but that is rare.

• 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.

I have not visited any companies and since I am focusing more on my research for now, after few months may be I will be looking into post study placement.

I liked the program and my husband had a job in that city. So, those were the factors that led me to choose the university and program, I like nature and the environment, so I chose environmental science.

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.
