University of Houston Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about University of Houston? Why?

Caitlin

The worst thing about my school is the residential neighborhood that surrounds the campus. There is a big problem with students getting robbed in the parking lots.

Jessica

The University of Houston is still a growing school and is mostly a commuter campus so its hard sometimes to spend time with friends.

richard

The only bad thing about my school is that is gets very competetive around enrollment time. You have to put in the effort to make sure you get the classes you want. Everyone wants to get the best teachers and the ideal times so you have to have a good plan set out.

Anastasia

The worst thing about my school is that it is a commuter school which takes away from the campus life. Although there are many people who stay on campus, they are only a fraction of the student body.

brian

school's setting is partly in the undersirable area of town

Gabriela

Be prepared for the walks across campus between classes, they can be a bother. Also, if you eat lunch on campus, it WILL be busy there and food may take a while to get.

ebby

the school is huge so its sometimes hard to find your friends in the campus

Herbert

The school I'm attending now is really nice school but the classes aren't cheap.

Leah

the location in is the middle of third ward, which has become a not so great area over the years.

Krysta

The worst thing is that its a commuter school. I come from a very school spirited high school and its hard at this school because it doesnt always feel like theres that much pride in coming to school here.

Sarah

While the University of Houston is an excellent learning institution with a diverse student population and well-learned faculty, the fact that students here are not as proud of the university as they should be makes me feel disappointed. The worst thing about the University of Houston is that the students don't realize what a great college they attend and do not have much school pride. I love the university and hope this changes soon.

The area around it is very scary!! The street right beside our school is the 3rd ward in Houston

Chris

The worst thing about U of H is that it is next to a less than reputible area of Houston known as he third ward.

Savannah

Since are students are so culturally and ethnically diverse, I believe our faculty should be too.. Our professors are mostly caucasion.

Laura

The worst thing about this school is to transfer here. It took months to get my hours transferred over. Then I had to petition basic classes like speech. I also had to petition classes that had the same title like educational psychology for educational psychology. The academic advisors also forget to tell you things. I am an education major and I did not know I couldn't take more than one field experience course at a time, or had to have all my core classes taken care of before my last junior semester.

Charlotte

It is a commuter school, so it is difficult to form long-lasting relationships.

ryan

the woest thing about my school is the price off the on campus housing

Tina

Financial Aid Services is the worst. They make it seem like you are not worth their time. It like pulling teeth to get answers about any kind of aid.
