To clarify some obfuscation made by our erstwhile candidate....

The following 4-year Universities are located south of Hildebrand, a 
street in San Antonio that is a demarcation of the affluent north side 
versus the not so affluent south side.

St. Marys, which includes a Law School and a MBA program.

Our Lady of the Lake University, which is a full fledged liberal arts 
college.  Both of the above are run by Catholic orders.

Trinity University calls itself the "Harvard of the Southwest", and it 
certainly looks the part of a well endowed, upper crust, pointy headed 
liberal arts univerity full of people that paint abstract paintings, 
debate national politics, and listen to classical music with their wine 
and cheese.  Needless to say, getting in here takes Money.

U.T.S.A. downtown campus.  The main campus is under construction, and it 
is in the dead center of town (four blocks from city hall, five from the 
courthouse).  The two buildings U.T.S.A. operates in downtown now are at 
Main and Cypress, and at the Institute of Texan Cultures.  We're also 
thinking of using the Alamodome as a lecture hall :-).

The University of Incarnate Word just this year upgraded to a four year 
institution.  It is on Hildebrand, but north of it.

The Alamo Community College district is a two year system with four 
campus at somewhere between 60,000 and 80,000 students.  There are 
cooperative agreements between ACCD and the four year schools to hold 
classes that are assured transfers, so that the students don't have to 
retake classes.  In any case, ACCD does a very good job as a two year 
college, such that it makes lots of sense to finish lower division 
requirements there before enrolling in the four year programs.

The most available space for building a univerisity on the soutside would 
be a recently abandoned Air Force Base (Kelly or Brooks?).  An 
unthinkable proposition, eh?
