University of Houston Top Questions

I think school is your experince, you make it good or bad. One pice of advice: don't sit around and complaine like most people find a way to make a change. If you don't like it, fix it, nobody is going to do it for you. Our campus is old, but if you find a way to apperciate the history of it youmay be suprised at how much more you value the older buildings.

The food on campus, it is very poorly made and bland

Condition of some of the old buildings, since the school is relatively old. THey are filthy.

I feel that the University of Houston's administration is lacking, especially the financial aid department. I think the school spends so much time trying to upgrade the facilites that they don't stop to provide more financial aid for its students.

Being in/next to an older more "run-down" area of town. I feel very safe ON campus but I wouldn't ride my bike and I only live 3-10 miles from campus

Some of the beuilding are detriotating and there's no social life outside of a few places. Not many people feel safe walking around alone anymore.

the lack of capmus activities like clubs and there are too many muslims at this school.

There are times when it's hard to find the right people to help.

I consider the worst thing about my school is the fact that I missed the deadline to apply for another dormitory room and I had to apply for an apartment. It caused me to have to stay in a place I really didn't want to stay because financially I hadn't planned on the extra rent that I have to pay. I budgeted for four hundred dollars less than I'm paying now. This caused a hardship and burden on my family. During the storm (Ike) it was very inconvenient, because we didn't have lights or water.

The administration is somewhat a bureaucracy. Nobody ever knows who to speak to for administrative matters and students are always being sent on a wild goose chase.
