ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Please see the suggested packing list below. Students will be housed in the dormitories on the UTSA Campus. The dorms at UTSA are set-up to where two students will be "suite-mates". This simply means that there are two separate sleeping spaces connected by a bathroom. In other words, each student has their own room and sleeping space but will share a restroom facility with one other student. BLT students are to sign-up for a roommate via sign-up genius. This sign-up will be sent out shortly via the BLT remind. Those who do not sign-up for a roommate will be assigned one by the directors.
