I
can't rationalize a reason why anyone would decide to go
here out of personal choice other than being a CAP
student or from around San Antonio. I mean no offense,
but I think majority of the upper level students are
those who did not make the CAP requirements and so
decided to stay. The classes consist of low rigor uninspiring
content such that my high school was easily harder than
this. I came away with a 4.0 gpa here but
I don't think it's going to prepare me at all
for the courses I'm going to be taking at UT
Austin next semester. On that note however, if you were
not in the top 10% of your high school class
and got CAP'ed than this is the school to go
to for it's really easy to make the GPA, however
expect to be shaken for every dime you have! Fees
come out of nowhere apparently, and it's 200 dollars just
to park in your own apartment complex if you live
on campus! This school offers SI sessions and tutoring centers
to help in classes, but truth be told most SI
leaders either have not taken the course or they've sufficiently
forgotten the material such that they're about as effective as
never having taken the course. The tutoring center is usually
always swamped such that it may take 3 hours for
you to ask a question and get a rushed inexplicable
answer. The teachers are not very smart or don't connect
with the students very well however since the majority of
students here are incredibly lazy or not bright you can
expect ridiculously high curves like in my math class where
I got a 15 point curve to my final grade
or my chemistry class where I effectively got 10 points
to my final grade. A degree from here is without
prestige and you'll easily be overlooked by companies or graduate
schools over students who went to UT Austin or A&M
or Tech. There was pretty much nothing to do
as you have campus and then downtown is like 20
minutes away. People are not very friendly and you can
expect the equivalent attitudes as you saw in high school.
On that note there is no football team as of
2008 and really anything to rally behind this school is
not very popular. While I had a bad experience with
one room mate, my bad experience here was intensified by
the fact that I made barely any new friends as
everyone here is pretty much from San Antonio so they
carry their high school friends with them, the school is
basically an extension of high school for most people.
In summary: Don't choose to go here If you're
CAP'ed go here, put in your one year, go to
UT Austin, and prepare yourself for the most fun/learning a
REAL university offers.
