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

Hamza

The worst thing about this school is the parking situation. There are too many students, and not enough parking spots for them. Although the university is constructing new parking garages, the problem still exists, and something needs to be done about this.

The worst thing about the University of Houston is the surrrounding neighborhood. We are near a 3rd ward and this leads to crimes on campus. University of Houston is doing everything that they can to help solve this problem. They have blue light, call boxes which is strongly advised to be used when needed. We have police patroling the campus to lower the crime rate and to increase safety.

The worst thing about this school is the parking. I come to school around 10:00 even though my class starts at 1:00. I come to school this early so that I would be able to find a parking spot before my class started. I feel that we need more parking for students.

The worst thing about my school is the price of tuition (including fees). It seems as if every semester tuition is increased and we have ridiculous fees for things we don't even use. For example, I must pay a "mandatory" fee of $84 for the recreactional center (i.e. gym) which I have never used since I do not live on campus. I think the idea of the gym is great but we should have the option to pay.

In my opinion, the worst part about the University of Houston would be the number of students commuting versus the number of students that actually live on-campus. Since there are so many students that commute to school, it decreases the amount of school spirit.

Three things that considered the worse are: too many students in some class room, need more organization and club, and it is hard to find parking at noon....

Courtney

The size.

Parking is the worst situation ever!!!! No matter how much you pay for a parking sticker you are never ever to find a parking space. They are always having construction going on so when they close a parking lot the student's that purchase the expensive parking stickers come to the back where the students who have economy parking and use that parking lot, so then the students who have economy parking have no where to park because if we park anywhere else we would get a ticket.

At the University of Houston, I disagree with my university?s policy for courses which cannot be applied towards a degree plan. This system of degree plans discourages students from taking courses which they feel enthusiastic about attending. If students were to choice courses they feel passionate about, then they would more likely have higher GPAs. Also, students should have the opportunity to decide more freely which courses they can choose since they are paying for their education. Likewise, tuition should not be spent for expensive water fountains and students should have more control over how their money beautifies campus.

The worst thing about UH has to be the fact that it is such a huge commuter school. It's hard to get that "college experience" because unless you are in Greek Park during the weekend, it's virtually dead. Even those who live in the dorms go home on the weekends. You'll never see anyone on campus unless it's finals week. Then EVERYONE is at the library.
