Texas State is more of a traditional college environment. It’s right on the San Marcos river, which is a big swimming hot spot during the spring/summer months. It has a well established reputation of being a party school. The real downside is that it has HILLS. Nothing is flat. You’re either walking uphill or downhill. They have shuttle buses that take you around campus. Sports are not all that good, but there’s definitely school pride.

UTSA is more of a city university. The buildings are closer together, which makes it easy to get around the campus. It has a better football team and there’s quite a lot of school pride. It has a diverse and super friendly campus. It’s not a party school. People fall in love with UTSA mainly because of San Antonio. That’s partly because the campus is 2 minutes from Six Flags! The dorm options are about the same as Texas State, but UTSA has much better parking. The upside of UTSA is the city. There’s PLENTY of things to keep you from getting bored. A season pass to Six Flags doesn’t cost all that much either. You have the downtown Riverwalk, the Shops at La Cantera, and unbeatable Mexican food.
