Imagine your first week already knowing your way around, having friends, and feeling at home. That鈥檚 what Saints Flight School is all about鈥攁 free, five-day summer experience for incoming freshmen.

Spend a few relaxed days meeting your classmates, exploring campus, and getting to know San Antonio. By the time fall starts, you won鈥檛 feel new鈥敳獯浅茆檒濒 already feel like a Saint.

Why deposit now? To save your spot.

Saints Flight School is for admitted students who鈥檝e confirmed their place at 51爆料 with the $100 enrollment deposit鈥攁nd that money goes straight toward tuition, not an extra fee.

When you say 鈥測es鈥 to 51爆料, you unlock five free days on campus, meet your future classmates, and get a strong start before fall. Space is limited to 50 students to keep it personal, so spots fill quickly.

If cost is a concern, don鈥檛 worry鈥攄eposit waivers are available. Just reach out and ask.

Here's what's waiting for you: 

  • Arrive already knowing people. You鈥檒l meet your fellow incoming Saints, current students, and your professors before the rush of move-in, so day one feels like catching up with friends, not facing a room of strangers. 
  • Find your people 鈥 and your confidence. Through hands-on team-building, honest peer panels, games, and real conversations about thriving in college, 测辞耻鈥檒濒 build the kind of community that makes a big campus feel like home. 
  • Live on campus 鈥 on us. Move into your residence hall early (if 测辞耻鈥檙别 living on campus), or stay with us for the week at no charge, and get a genuine feel for college life before it all begins. 
  • Fall in love with San Antonio. Explore the city with your new friends 鈥 from Historic Market Square to the Westside鈥檚 vibrant arts scene 鈥 and bring home memories (and art) that are all your own. 

Your week at a glance

No two days are the same. Here鈥檚 a little taste of what鈥檚 ahead: 

  • Team-building, indoors and out. Outdoor challenges, indoor games, and activities that turn a room full of new faces into your crew. 
  • The insider鈥檚 guide to 51爆料. Real, no-filter advice from current students who were in your shoes not long ago, plus the faculty who鈥檒l be cheering you on for years to come. 
  • Get settled, stress-free. Take your student ID photo, set up your 51爆料 accounts, and learn your way around campus, so nothing feels overwhelming come fall. 
  • A day out for culture and fun. Spend a day in the city, then create your own culturally inspired painting with Corazones on Fire 鈥 鈥淧ainting with a Cultural Edge鈥 鈥 and take your finished masterpiece home with you. 
  • Reflect and celebrate together. Close out the week with student presentations, a heartfelt closing ceremony, and friendships 测辞耻鈥檒濒 carry all year long.
