Sam Houston State University Top Questions

The worst thing about Sam Houston is the hills, walking around campus is a drag because it feels like it is uphill both ways to and from class.

The worst thing about my university is that it is located in very small town with not very much to do. in order to engage in activity or to host an event you have to drive about thirty minutes out of town. The only source of entertainent is a very small movie theater that is often time overcrowded.

In my opinion, the worst part of Sam Houston is the location. Huntsville is a very small town without many attractions for the students. I feel like a lot of students go home on the weekends to escape the town. Another drawback to the town being so small is the lack of employment opportunities for students.

The only thing that I can really complain about is all the hills on campus. They can make it a challenge to walk to class at first.

Parking. Sam Houston has a terrible parking situation.

The parking is horrendous! We are one of the fastest growing universities in the state of Texas and our university seems to not realize with that demands more parking! I have to budget for about 20 minutes for just finding a parking spot!

The housing situation at Sam Houston is not my favorite. Although, I hear that Sam offers some of the best living arrangements in Texas I feel as if more housing is needed. By the time I got around to selecting my dorm I was picking from the scraps.

The worst thing about my school is the location. I live in Austin texas, a big city compared to the small town of Huntsville. There isn't much to do there which can get you into a lot off trouble especially since the town is based on law enforcement. You just have to take extra precautions to stay out of trouble I feel.

All the attuteds in stuff why because with attudes like what these kids have is not going to work in the real world in right now they not understanding it.

The worst thing about my school would have to be the parking, which is so hard to find. Besides that, the town is very small and there's not much to do off campus. Other than that though, I love it here.

There is one thing I can say that I really do not like about Sam Houston. The major problem we seem to have is not having bike-friendly trails. I was considering buying a bike before I came to Sam, but when I got here the campus was so small that I didn't need to. The only downside is the activities that are hosted usually block the route to all of my classes so that makes it difficult to travel on foot, so having a bike would make it ten times easier to move to and fro on campus.

The worst thing is the Bearkat Learning Program. I see no benefit for the students and the campionships between the dorm houses are slim to none. The coordinator shows favoritism between the students, which makes it difficult to talk to him/her over certain issues within the dorm houses.

It is a long drive from my house. I found it difficult to make it to classes on time because of the time slots that were offered and the long commute.

Everyone goes home on the weekends and it makes it kind of boring to be here all alone.

It's very hard to get around without a car, and parking is a headache not to mention that parking stickers are continuing to go up.

The parking situation at Sam is horrible because students who live in the dorms are driving to class. But I don't know if those students can be completly to blame. There are sometimes plenty of spots to park (with reduced rate permits available) but they are "too far" for most. No matter the cause, it is still very difficult to go back and forth from campus and off campus lab locations during the day.

Perhaps just the location and the availability of the jobs on the south part of Houston, and trying to make it on time.

The worst thing about Sam Houston is the hills! After traveling up one hill, there is another one waiting at the top. The largest hill sits right at the edge of campus where the most populated dorm area is, perfect for making that morning trek to your classes an amazing work-out!

The worst thing about my school is the financial aid. The counselors told me I was expected to receive nearly $8,000 in refunds back to me, but I only received $3,000. I am unable to pay rent and after paying my bills I am left with under $2,000 to last me until August. They are not understanding of my financial situation and would not give me the information I needed to help pay for my necessities.

I think that my school should offer more majors. They only have pre-pharmacy and pre-nursing, and that isn't very helpful to those who want those as their majors. Sam Houston is a good school, and a lot of people may one to come here, but get turned around because their complete major isn't offered. More than likely they would have to transfer schools to complete their major.
