SAN ANTONIO │ UTSA Development and Construction Thread

[DomInSATX]

As an alumni of both universities, they’re worlds apart and culturally distinct. UTSA used to have the reputation of being a mediocre university with open admissions (This has changed thankfully) while UT Health has been hard to get into and is very academically challenging while at the same time being a very nurturing environment to grow and mature in. UT Health is also much less expensive to attend than UTSA, hopefully the programs there don’t have their costs increased because of this merger. (The cost of my MS from UT Health was around $6k, a similar MS at UTSA can set you back around $14/16 K) I think it just took a while for UTSA to grow academically before the two universities could be merged and given how badly underfunded UTSA has been thanks to politics in the UT system it was going to take awhile.
