University of Houston Top Questions

It has a great environment with tons of opportunity.

It's very nice and diverse, great campus, program, and faculty

Classes run out fast and teachers are not the best but not the worst

You have to keep up with school work because this is not a school where professors take time to help you. For engineering, it is the most difficult because it cuts time away from wanting to work. My overall opinion of this school is low the fact that they make it difficult to pay for classes and if you work you will do horrible in classes

I'm having a really nice time here at the University of Houston. There are opportunities everywhere--for making friends, getting help, pursuing your dreams and so much more. All of my teachers and peers are very supportive and I feel like this is a place where I can really grow, better myself and become prepared for my future. When I first came here I was nervous because I grew up in a small town and I've known the same people since I was four years old. I think my university is really neat because it's like its own little city and, even though I haven't even been here for a full semester yet, I already think of it as home. I have had nothing but good experiences so far, and I can't wait to see what the rest of my four years here will be like!

The best thing about my school beside the education is the diverse population of students. I love meeting new people some that are similar to me and some who are my complete opposite. One thing I would change is to have more food places to eat. I am a total foodie and after a while I get tired of the fast food offered at school and sometimes the cafeteria food good and sometimes not.

Honestly, I think the best thing about the U of H is its greatly diverse students' backgrounds. You get to know a lot of people and learn and get experience all the time! I would never change anything in my school, the people are friendly and open which is great. The U of H is definitely one of the largets universities, with its branches in Clea Lake, Victoria, and Downtown as well as the Main Campus. People are amazed when I say that I attend the U of H! They really admire that! I usually have a 2-3 hourse break between my classes, so I spend most of my time either in the library or in students' organizations meetings. There is always something fun to do even if you are spending your day at the university, you can still have fun, go to the UC or Satellite to play pool or Bowling or watch a movie on the UC north patio :) I think the university staff is doing a great job administering all the aspects of the university. School pride is a forte of all the U of H students indeed! Come out on our red Fridays and watch all cougar students wearing red, you will definitely feel the school spirits! Sports is definitely a major building block in the university's history and pride, you can never forget it when your university's team makes the news and is on air nationwide with the ESPN! :)

The best thing about UH is the school spirit. It is encouraged to wear red every Fridays, and the majority of the students participate. The best place to get information about the every day lives or even some entertainment is the UC underground. I fell in love with the sense of community and Greek life. It is a very diverse campus and, although it is a commut school, there are plenty of ways to get connected within the university.

Honestly, if UH offered Physical Therapy I would not even consider another school for PT. My sister is a business major and before she went to UH she wanted to go somewhere else for grad school. She checked out UT, A&M, Baylor, Boston, and others but she didn't feel as welcomed or at home as she felt at UH and she stayed. The only thing I don't enjoy about the school are the roads and the not enough healthy eating choices. When I tell people I go to UH I don't get good reactions, but when I tell them how fast I fit in and made friends they wanted to go to UH too, some friends actually switched to UH within a year and love it!! And the more you get involved, a lot of organization options, you will love UH even more.
