Laurel Village
Roadrunner Cafe
The residential component of this program gives students a true taste of the college experience. Students will be housed in UTSA’s Laurel Village and eat daily in our Roadrunner Café. The John Peace Library Food Court will also be an option for student dining for lunches or snacks. Students will be accommodated in fully furnished two-bedroom and four-bedroom suites with a shared living area, kitchenette and bathroom, giving each a chance to have the experience of roommate life. All students will have access to the lounges and common areas closest to their dorm building. This is an excellent opportunity to make friends for life as you bond with your suitemates.
