We asked Joe What Makes Texas A&M-San Antonio YOUR University (Why did he choose A&M-SA)? & he responded, “Being part of Texas A&M-San Antonio makes me feel like I am way more than just another student number passing through the system. I feel welcomed, appreciated, and loved by peers, classmates, and even faculty and staff. This is my university because I feel like I am part of something greater – I am contributing to what will one day be one of the most prestigious institutions in the state and even the country. That’s why I chose A&M SA, and that’s why I would choose it over and over again every single time.
