The SUBWAY on the UTSA CAMPUS

Good Afternoon Ya’ll,

Today I’m writing to ya’ll to talk about my recent experience with the SUBWAY here on the 1604 University of Texas at San Antonio College campus.  The SUBWAY that I visited this time around is the one on the main strip of campus, connected to the HEB University Center.  Although I frequent this location quite often throughout this past fall semester this particular time was special.  Out of the ordinary if you will.  But the service and subs were fantastic for an extremely low price.  It was truly affordable AND delicious!

Let me set this particular scenario for you. . . It was the day before the fall thanksgiving “break” and due to its untimely day that thanksgiving fell upon it was only a four day break from school.  Being a fellow from out-of-state (New York) I didn't really feel the need to go home and spend the holiday with my family.  So instead, like many other students here at UTSA, I stayed on campus for the holiday break.  Now you know how thanksgiving is all about the “table spread” right?  Well, in my case I decided to go eating nontraditional per say.  I stopped at the SUBWAY right before break began, knowing that all of the dining facilities on campus would be closed until the following Sunday (four days)  I needed to substantially stock up on food supplies.  I ordered 7 foot-long subs in total, all being subs that would need to be toasted and of a different variety of sub.  The service was phenomenal and the sub artist didn't even skip a beat and went about preparing the subs without a single utterance of disapproval.  The total amount that was due at the end was a whopping $43.72, for each individual sandwich it cost $6.21 tax included.  Not too bad if you have $100 worth of dining dollars left to spend before the end of the semester.

The setup of this particular SUBWAY is phenomenal.  There is always heavy traffic when I’m there to purchase food; the SUBWAY is small yet compact, like most subways are.  But this particular SUBWAY location has two doors one specifically for entering the building, and one for exiting.  They are easily marked so to not create confusion for the customers.  This is a pretty nifty feature, because like I said before there is a lot of traffic that goes through this particular SUBWAY and it was easily accessible and allowed for you to be in and out of there within 7 minutes with a sandwich in hand. 

In conclusion, the men and women that work at this SUBWAY are extremely nice and efficient.  For the average college student, time management is key in being successful in all of your courses.  Students have to eat, but most students do not have the time to eat, so why not go to SUBWAY and within two-three minutes you’ll be feasting on a delicious sandwich.  I highly recommend this location when you are on campus and in a rush to get from point A to point B.  Not only is it quick to grab a inexpensive bite to eat, it is also healthy.  Have you ever seen the SUBWAY commercials with Jared AND our very own Tony Parker of the Spurs here in San Antonio?  They both endorse SUBWAY as healthy and filling.
