University of the Incarnate Word Top Questions

The lack of enthusiasm and passion from my classmates is frustrating because I believe competition is necessary for growth.

The school's library is very small. The budget for the on-campus library is less than what is needed for a research oriented school, especially since it is a private university. There is an extensive inter-campus loan program and e-loan system that is growing each semester. But students still must go to outside sources for their research.

The food here on campus is always a hit or miss. It could be great one day, and horrible the next. Its all very expensive as well. I tend to eat off campus more than on campus because the pricing is about the same but the quality is so much higher. The cafeteria is a sad, sad place.

The worst thing i consider about my school is that is very quite and calm on the weekends. I personally like to be intertained and busy. I like having things to do and i do not feel there is mcuh to do on campus.

Its rather old so some buildings show the ware and tear.

The Fall semester will be my first semester at this school, I am a transfer student.

Currently there's construction being done on the school campus and as well in the street infront of the campus which makes it difficult to manuver yourself around.

It is a private school so it is very expensive to attend here. If you are tight on money, a public school may be the better option.

Incarnate Word just became a a Division 1 campus in regards to football. While that is an amazing feat for the University, theres now the risk that the wonderfully crafted experience of a "small school" will be lost. Construction is big right now because they have to extend their facilities to accomadate the new status.

The worst thing about my school, and the only thing that I can scrape out of the corner of my mind, would be the prices of the books and the high tuition. As a member of the middle class, it's difficult for me to gather enough money together to pay for books and any extra tuition my financial aid does not cover. I always have to surrender my pride and ask for financial help from my parents.
