What Students Are Saying

San Antonio College is conveniently located close to the center of the city. Most teachers are amazing, intelligent and extremely helpful. The curriculum is above standard and I feel that I am being very well prepared to get my Associates.

Overall it's a great school to attend. The people and administration are very nice and outgoing. Another plus is the tuition is pretty cheap and they have payment plans and offer federal student aid which is a great help.
