University of Houston Top Questions

I LOVE the University of Houston. Almost everyone here is friendly and easy to talk to, I meet at least one new person every day! I am in engineering, so the curriculum is very challenging, but do-able. Our football games get wild awesome, and around football time, there is a ton of school spirit. There is always something going on around campus, weather it's dancing in the underground at the UC, or bake sales under the PGH, there's always an event to check out. The Rec Center is freaking awesome. It's really nice and I love going there. UH rocks!

-The best thing about this school is that there is a lot of different opportunities to look for such as a connections to find a job, organizations that fits you, and places to hang out or study with one of your buddies. Its a place where you can find a 100 things to do and where everyone gets along. -One thing I change is the structure of the buildings, but that's changing! Finally, we are having a new stadium and UH center where we can hang out and have some fun, besides studying all the time. -UH is at its perfect size! You can find a parking close to your building or too far. Depends on where you know that certain spot. -When people knows I came from UH, they usually say "UH is finally a Tier one school, your going to a good school where you can actually find a good job in the future once you graduate." -I spend most of my time at my building which is Farish Hall or at the UH center, since its where I belong. ;) -Once UH enter the BIG EAST, our pride has become so much bigger. -I feel like our school has improved so much ever since our campus became TIER ONE, which is fabulous. :)

The University of Houston is a great place to actually get in touch with the real world. It presents you with the type of people you'll meet in the real world, as in, people of all ages and backgrounds looking to strike it somewhere in the middle class. Most people get the image in their head that UH is nothing but high school, but it's not true. Top business school in Texas, third highest Hotel and Restaurant Management school in the world, and second in the US, and TierOne recognition in Research shows that UH isn't just your average hum-drum school. We're located right in the middle of Houston and our borders blend well with the rest of the city. There is one thing to be warned about: live on campus. You won't regret it. Commuting is a preferred choice among the students, and quite frankly, there are just too many commuters for our parking situation. You'll constantly hear about the terrible parking we have here, but when you have people from all over Houston coming over to our university at once for class, it's expected.

I absolutely adore University of Houston. It's a rather large university (40,000 people), so if you come here, be ready to meet all sorts of people. The best thing about UofH is it's diversity, everyday you will meet someone new with a different background, native language, religion, etc. Another good thing about this university, is the school spirit. Come to campus any day of the week and you will feel the "cougar pride" as you gaze upon the sea of red. I can honestly say that at this university our faculty/staff/admin truly care about the students and will do anything to see you succeed. The only main complaint I ever here about UofH is it's lack of parking, which currently they are working on by building parking garages. I personally live on campus, so it's no hassle for me. I actually highly recommend living on campus, one for the convenience, and two for the fun going on around campus after-hours.

I absolutely LOVE UH! Sadly, the University of Houston is an underrated institution. Since it is mostly a commuter school, many people think UH is merely a college to complete core classes and transfer out to bigger and more popular universities. Therefore, people tend to think that the only people who go to UH are those who could not get accepted anywhere else. These stereotypes could not be any further from the truth! The University of Houston is well on its way to becoming a Tier One University, rivaling schools like UT, Rice, A&M. We offer a wide variety of majors and nationally recognized programs! For example, our Entrepreneurship program is ranked #1 in the nation. Such programs reflect our diverse student body! As one of the most diverse schools in the nation, there are so many people with incredible backgrounds who are extremely talented and gifted! You will meet the most amazing people at UH!

Whenever I tell people from Houston about the University of Houston, I can sense that they are immediately judging me as unintelligent, because many assume that the students are not as smart as people who attend other universities, which is completely untrue. I had the choice of going to Baylor, Texas A&M, Southern Methodist University, and a few other schools, most of which gave me large scholarship amounts, but I chose the University of Houston, because it seemed to have the greatest potential for growth, a fantastic Honors College, offered bountiful scholarships, promoted diversity, and had many highly ranked programs. The University of Houston has been undervalued over the years, and as a result the faculty, staff, and students are constantly striving to raise awareness about the many great things that are occurring here and continually trying to improve the University, in order to attract more of the positive attention it deserves.

The University of Houston is such a diverse campus, you could find just about every race, heritage, and language on the planet here in students and professors. And that's what i love about it, I love that you get to learn and experience people from all over the world. The one thing I would change about it, however, is for more people to get involved in sports, our athletes never get the support they deserve for working so hard to represent our school. UH is definitely not in a college town, its more like smack in the middle of the city, but its really cool because you get the city-vibes downtown and there is lots of shopping opportunities! I spend most of my time by the huge fountain, where there is a huge grassy area to sit and relax between classes. An experience I will always remember is when I was working at a bake sale in the spring, and randomly a flock of baby ducks and their parents came walking through the campus, and they were so odd looking in their straight lines! We found out later that these ducks migrate through campus every year!

A large campus with a small school feel once you declare your major, or if you are in the Honors College. Once my major was declared, most of my classes were in the same building, and saw the same students in class. The Honors College is open to all majors, and you will take some classes in the open-discussion, communication focused Honors classes.
