What would you tell someone considering moving to San Antonio?

If you’re a foodie, love basketball (especially with Wemby!) or are looking for the energy of a big city with lots of opportunities to succeed, San Antonio is a great place to be. It’s also known as Military City USA, and the strong sense of community, rich culture and welcoming atmosphere make it a unique place to call home away from home.

What is your advice to students going through the college search process?

Visit that campus, call their phone, ask them questions, talk to a faculty member. You won’t know till you try!

What is your favorite place to eat off campus?

What inspires you? 

My family.
