My academic advisor and the other professors at the university really do care about their students. My studies have been tailored to the needs of my major and minor. The only thing that has held me back from realizing my full potential here has been the cost of studying here. I would have loved to study abroad during this term, but adequate money just isn't available for all of my expenses, even with the healthy SAP program we have here.

The school really expects you to do well and try. They provide the students with plenty of study areas, wifi, even free coffee and cookies during finals weeks..... Anything to get us learning. There is a sense of community without having to be in Greek Life or an athletic team. Everybody understands that its a small school, and we all help each other through the tougher classes. Its great.

This school is all about strengthening your faith. They don't care exactly what your relgion is, they care that you stay true to it and who you are, because religion is something important, something that gives you faith. If you don't have any type of religion, it's fine, they just care that you believe in yourself and are faithful to yourself and others. That's what I find amazing about this school. It makes me feel welcome with whoever I am.

the best thing about my school is that it's a private environment and it's great to learn there.

The small class room sizes because you can actually interact with your proffessor and ask him questions about the assignment or course. The way the proffessors interact with you and wants to help succeed in the class room. Even though your proffessor is trying to help you the best way they can , it is still your responsibility to get your work done on time and show up to class. The workstudy job I had at the bussiness office was another good thing i liked about my school because I loved the job and the work it had to offer.

The best thing about University of the Incarnate Word is the spirit of help and kindness I see in the students and faculty. I was nervous about going to a University as a freshman at my age, but everyone that I have come in contact with are willing to help and are polite and really enjoy their job or attending school there. I feel comfortable and at ease. The spirit of God is everywhere you look.

Personally I would say that the best thing at my school is the Vision Science major. This major is the reason why I chose Incarnate Word and is the reason why I try so hard to do well. Next semester I will be doing my clinical internships and really getting involved in the field of Optometry before I even get to graduate school which is really very exciting! The professors here are also very considered for my well-being and work very hard to make sure I know the material and am able to do well on exams.

The professor of UIW of very helpful. It is very rare when you come across a professor that is not well organized and does not know the subject well.

The best thing about my school would most definitely be the faculty and their ability to help their students succeed. It would have been impossible for me to raise my GPA from what it was when I had transfered to The University of the Incarnate Word had it not been for the strength of character or experience instilled into each of my professors. There is a constant aura of success and a push for us, as students, to succeed in each of our fields.

My school is extremely diverse. The school allowed me to travel abroad to Paris, France and Gwangju, Korea. I was extremely involved in the Campus Activites Board and various groups.
