What are your general comments?
If you're coming from the Northeast USA, San Antonio is a culture shock. Everyone has guns... lots of them!
The overall city is sprawling. You need to own a car down in San Antonio... not much to do if comparing to major metropolitan cities. Students are cooperative, but I couldn't get the feeling on if they really socialized together outside of class. No dorms, everyone lives in apts or houses in the surrounding area.
