Attending the University of the Incarnate Word has been such an amazing experience! My Professors have been extremely accommodating to my academic and non-academic obligations. On a few occasions, I've had to miss class or show up late, due to my work schedule conflicts. My Professors showed compassion and understanding. The staff at UIW have been helpful, as well. Whenever I need something, they go above and beyond to make things easier for me. The Academic Advisors are so compassionate and understanding and my classmates are such good people. UIW is dedicated to their students and staff in more areas than one. I couldn't have chosen a better school to attend!

I transferred to the University of the Incarnate Word and completely fell in love with the campus. It’s a beautiful, small campus, which is perfect for the small classroom types. They do have huge lecture halls for larger classes. I know they have an awesome Nursing school on its main campus. UIW is a private school in San Antonio. The community around the campus is nice near the historic Broadway street. The school is huge on community service! They love coming together and giving back to the community through anything they come up with! Joining organizations or clubs to help San Antonio’s community. Overall it’s a perfect campus!

My Father and I went to UIW to learn more information on the nursing program. Long story short, all of the counselors, tour guides, professors and students make you feel very welcomed and makes you feel that this university is picked just for you! The admissions counselor Mr. Puente helped tremendously with accomplishing everything that you didn't think you would have so soon! I rate this between a very good and excellent. Why not the five stars is because as of right now, I do not yet know what the percent is for students getting into the nursing program. However, if the percentage is very high, then I rate this a 5 stars of excellence!
