Student Reviews and Ratings for University of the Incarnate Word
Overall Rating:
If you are an international student make sure to do everything by yourself and double check all the information they gave you before you even apply, and DOUBLE CHECK more if you are a transfer student because thing could go messy with schedule and classes. I would give 5 stars for some of the professors but they keep changing the staff and it's really hard to catch with some of them! In general, the university have some good but the bad are more if you are international.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™A terrible let down.1/2 of the professors are adjunct/community college fill- ins.Business office employs an unpleasant man whom doesn't understand how money works. He will run you around before standing firm on their ludicrous policy:No registration until balance is paid in full. Even when fully aware that my GI bill is on it's way.The VA is incompetent. 1. Leaves out vital steps, ie. Obtain NOBE A. getting this from command took 3 weeks 2. Throws away paper work after 30 days A. The process will take about 3-4 months Together this will screw you.3. Forgets to submit verification. Even after I finished it at his desk. Looked at him dead in the eyes and explained the importance of this money. 4. Spells name wrong, Dunkin!!!! Really! Spurs much! C'mon.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™UIW is an outstanding institution of higher education. I enjoy the campus, spirit and warmth of everyone there. Originally a mission of the Sisters of the Incarnate Word, this school still reflects its loving and Noble origins.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™Interesting college. A conversation with a faculty member who teaches cybersecurity was funny, fruitful, and informative. However, contrary to their name and Catholic roots, the administration does not have a commitment to being a truly Catholic college. They have a gorgeous church but only use it occasionally due to the “cost of utilities”. When asking for directions, it became evident that some students didn’t even have a clear idea of what a chapel was, much less where to find it. I hope that in the near future the leaders of the college will take a more proactive approach to create something unique and truly Catholic.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™Love my college! I feel like it is truly a home! Doesn't hurt anything that I am fortunate enough to be a sophomore going to school with my brother and father who are both seniors this year! This college truly cares about you and you life to become a successful graduate! The faculty will always be around to help you achieve a solid GPA! And the grounds are so beautiful with downtown San Antonio being a 5 minute drive away you are at the hub of beautiful city! I am a student going for a master's degree in accounting and am so fortunate as to find many mentors here! I would absolutely recommend this college to be your first choice at better a better education! As well as receiving financial aid that I have a free ride for my first 3 out of 5 years!
