University of Houston Top Questions

Very knowledgeable and helpful

My academics is a B average

VERY GREAT PROFESSORS ARE REALLY COOL

The types of classes and programs here are as various as the students. The Honors college is especially great providing the strong, challenging academics needed to push their students. The small classes and friendly professors make the environment comfortable. Teachers can get to know their students and engage with them. And this helps students continue this education outside of the classroom.

The academics at my school are great. We are a tier one university which I take pride in being a part of. My university offers great classes specific to my major in biology.

Academics are very important at UH. There has never been a time that the library has been empty. Students use many of the resources around them. The classes are not a "breeze". Teachers are fair, but tough. If a student studies and takes responsibility within their school work, the classes are just fine. Professors take time out of their schedules in order to make sure that the student has clarified all of the information in the classes taught.

People think UH is too easy, it actually is. But, not like community college easy. The things that are taught are really difficult topics, but our teachers, staff, and helping students always make it a lot easier! I know how hard math is for some people and I am great at it, and so last semester I helped someone who failed Finite before make an A+ in the class! Even I got help from people in Stat. Everyone is so friendly that no matter how hard a class is there is always someone there to make it easier on you. And they make it so easy you end up helping others too!

Depending on the departments, the academics are fun, interesting, and challenging. I am in engineering and the classes are crazy, but I like it. I also am doing a Global Business minor, and I really LOVE those classes. They are very informative and interesting, and the professors are very cool. I look forward to those classes a bunch. In my smaller classes, the professors are very concerned with learning our names, so you can tell they really care.

-If you have a good connection with your professors, they will certainly know your name. Do not be one of those students that just comes for the lectures and leave. You need to know your professor, so you can maybe get a recommendation letter for graduate school or a job. -My favorite classes has been all my HDFS classes, I have learned so much and the professors are very helpful when I have a certain problem with something. My least favorite class was Biology, since it was something I did not love. -Students usually study in groups in the library, but its a bit loud there. I believe the best place to study is at your department or somewhere you can get some peace. You can actually rent of the rooms in the library on the first to 3rd floor to study by yourself or with some people. -The class participation is at its good level since there are many students that are willing to raise their hands when they have a question or knows the answer to the question. -My major is Human Development of Family Studies, and I absolutely adore it. It is at the education department. It basically focus on the roles of certain people in the family,such as children, parents, grandparents, and relatives. -The time I spend with my professors are when I have a ton of questions that needs to be answer, or need to go over a test, and maybe have my paper edit. They will be more than glad to do it. :)

UH is TierOne in Research for a reason. Whether you're a History major or a Biomedical Engineer major, research is your ticket to the top. If you can, get into the Honors College where the options are even greater: sponsored study abroad programs, a unique ethics course called Phronesis, and of course the Human Situation courses which open your eyes to a new degree to intellectual analysis of text and the world around you.
