My experience at the university of Houston was generally positive. The lecturers were knowledgeable and supportive, and they encouraged participation which made learning engaging. I liked the variety of courses offered and the opportunity to develop both academic and personal skills. The campus environment was friendly and diverse, which helped me build confidence and meet new people. However, some facilities and administrative processes could be improved for better efficiency. Overall, the college... Read More provided a solid foundation for my future goals.

The University of Houston's tuition value is difficult to beat, especially for students prioritizing a high return on investment. For the price I was paying, the quality of the education and professional opportunities were well worth it. All the professors I took often brought in real-world experience into the classroom. The networking events are top-tier. While the commuter-heavy nature of the school can make the social scene feel a bit siloed at times, the constant campus improvements make it an... Read More exciting and safe place to be. It is a gritty, hardworking institution that rewards students who are willing to put in the effort to seek out its many hidden gems.

I started attending the University of Houston as an Accounting Major in the Baur School of Business. Because Houston is one of the country's main business hubs, there is a lot of funding and attention given. The building was new, the teachers were very involved, companies had established relationships with the school and attended many events, and opportunities for internships, jobs, office visits, etc. were endless. Even the guidance counselors were very knowledgeable, proactive, and helpful.

There... Read More is a clear division in priorities. Other buildings at UofH were older, some even dingy. I remember the psychology building having low ceilings, flickering, dim lights, and an overall rundown appearance.

When I switched to the Communications school to major in Public Relations two years later, I felt like I was shoved into a kiddie pool. The classes were offensively simple, I saw basically no promotion of student organizations, events, or job opportunities. I essentially took the exact same class three times from the same teacher, all with different titles and descriptions. They were supposed to be advertising classes, but the teacher almost exclusively used cheesy commercials from the early 2000s and vintage printed ads. I was shocked, but at the time I was somewhat glad to atleast have something easy in my plate. After graduating, I felt kind of ripped off.

Other than that, it's a primarily commuter campus, but parking was limited, expensive, and the parking pass process was confusing every semester, and most of the lots had massive puddles everywhere.
The financial aid office also wasn't helpful.

I think a majority of my positive opinions about UofH are directly related to the business school.

My experience at school was mostly positive. The classes were challenging but manageable and I believe I learned skills that were actually useful beyond just passing exams. Some professors were more engaging than others, but the ones that really cared about students were willing to help outside of class. The workload could sometimes be stressful especially near finals, but it helped prepare me for the future. While there were definitely some areas that could be improved, I feel the education I received... Read More was worth it and helped me move forward academically and professionally.

Do not attend this school. Typically, black and white statements are not helpful. However, there are little to no redeeming qualities about this school. This school does not care about the students. There are some professors who care about the students, and it is astounding the difference between how these professors treat the students and the overall attitude of this school. After the first week of school, walking to classes seems off. No one actually seems to care about each other. Everyone attending... Read More this school is just there for their degree and to attend the occasional football game. This school is known for its research. However, being able to be a part of the research is nearly impossible. As an undergraduate, I can confidently say that this school is not suited to take care of its students. The people put in place to assist students do not care about you. Do not fall for the counterfeit image.

Instructors don鈥檛 reply to your emails. They have TAs who will reply so late but not solve the problem. Instructors don鈥檛 care if your grade is dropping because you don鈥檛 understand the assignments, or because they have insufficient information which is misleading in the syllabus. One assignment can drop your grade so much because of percentage distribution. The administration doesn鈥檛 answer the call and when they do, they don鈥檛 know how to help you. The university鈥檚 advisors fail to provide basic... Read More information like how to file a degree plan or don鈥檛 even tell you, you basically hear it from fellow students. The advisors also don鈥檛 care that you don鈥檛 have any classes to register for without their permission, which is absolutely ridiculous cause then you are left with the worst of the worst professors. You basically have to figure out everything yourself as they don鈥檛 guide you. 91成人 education has also ruined most of the things of this university. But I am sure even if it was in person, it would be the same. They also don鈥檛 update the classes you take in other institution and you keep calling them hoping them to add the classes that you took already.

*** READ THIS REVIEW BEFORE SPENDING MONEY ON CLASSES *** My name is Joseph and I am a recent graduate from The University of Houston. I lived on campus (Moody Towers) as a full-time student for approximately two years. The purpose of this review is to render information about the quality of education and what life is like at The University of Houston Central Campus. I believe that this review will help to peel away some of the deceptive layers (friendly tour guides, appealing campus grounds, and... Read More tuition rates) that have been implemented by the school鈥檚 business model. This review will be partitioned into the categories of Housing, Quality of Education, Safety, and Dining. Housing My experience at Moody Towers can be summed up in one simple phrase. 鈥淵ou get what you pay for鈥�. There were numerous issues that caused me to realize that I was spending more money then what the facility was worth. Roaches and rodents were not uncommon pests to encounter for many of the residents at Moody Towers. (this seems to be an issue with the other residential facilities on campus as well) The housing staff members that were responsible for overseeing the management of the facility were grimy, indecent individuals that always tried to make students feel as if they are lesser beings (this is specifically an issue with the RAs). Water outages were a common occurrence that sometimes spanned more than a day (which effected the dining hall). Quality of Education The well known phrase 鈥測ou get what you pay for鈥� can also be applied to the quality of education that UofH presents to their students. Exceptional individuals can expect to become extremely bored with course content due to the fact that they cater the classes towards minimum requirement students. Many of these students act like children and interrupt class lectures on a regular basis. The teachers can only helplessly stand by and plead for the students to act appropriately for fear of administrative action if they say something that could be remotely perceived as offensive. Safety Safety on campus is a joke. Crimes such as vehicle theft, aggravated robbery, and assault are not uncommon on campus. Some criminals feel impunity to the point that they try and steal backpacks from people at the student center in broad daylight. Many parts of the campus have poor lighting and can increase the likelihood of crimes occurring. The campus police and security officers are more concerned about harassing students rather than ensuring their safety. Dining On the surface, the dining facilities seem like a great value for students living on campus. However, some may notice that the amount of money that is charged per semester for meal plans does not equate to the services provided. The dining halls often close or limit their hours for trivial reasons, which can be annoying if you live on campus and do not own a car. These closures and limitations on hours of operation are approved by a student body that does not even live on campus or eat at the dining halls everyday. The managerial staff never do anything to improve services after receiving feedback from residents. The individuals that prepare and serve the food could probably care less about its quality. I would often find that the food is dry, contains low grade meat, is overcooked, or has inedible items such as plastic. In sum, the individuals that are looking to for high quality education with livable facilities should probably research other academic institutions. With the pandemic, it is probably better to find an accredited online university that is cheaper than UofH (there are a lot of them). If you do not like online mode of instruction, then there are other universities in the Houston area that have similar tuition rates with acceptable facilities.

The University of Houston's Psychology program emphasized and promoted undergraduate research in an unparalleled way. While the university as a whole is a research-institution, the Psychology program specifically has some of the most top-notch researchers. In my experience, faculty within the program are enthusiastic about undergraduate research and provide mentorship and opportunity which prepare you for graduate school. UH was an integral and irreplaceable component in my journey to becoming a... Read More clinical psychologist, and I would recommend the program to anyone wanting to pursue graduate studies in psychology.

Students, if you want any sort of quality education with a strong support system in place to guide you through effectively, DON'T go to U of H main. After three years of struggling to succeed at UH main due to the many issues with administration (primarily their total lack of concern for student success and complete focus on $$$), I'm apparently not officially graduated, after once again being given false information by my advisor. Not only does this inhibit a raise I was expecting this semester... Read More at work, but it also prevents my pursuit of other professional opportunities that were potentially available to me in the next few months. I can't even begin to explain the frustration that I'm feeling. I have spent the last month working my way up the administrative ladder, pleading for a retroactive declaration of my degree as the issue was the fault of the advisor (the same advisor that has given me false information and misled me at every meeting since my admission in 2016--the advisors in every department are absolute jokes). But U of H wins, refusing to push paperwork and showing that they have absolutely no regard for the success of their students. Which is, ironically, a direct contradiction of the university's mission statement: to "creat[e] an environment in which student success can be ensured." I have never felt as though my success was ensured at this school. This isn't something that has just happened to me, either. Through reaching out to various people, trying to figure out a way to fix this, I've heard many stories of other students who went through this same issue. One in particular was unaware of the problem and only found out that her $77k degree wasn't valid when her classes began expiring. And parents, if you want to know your students are going to be safe, secure, and getting their money's worth out of their college experience, don't let them apply to U of H main campus. Not only is it in the seediest part of Houston (sirens every ten minutes, the block I lived on was shut down regularly by police, and homeless people wander up to your door), but every housing option is biologically unsafe. The campus apartments I lived in (because the dorms were full by the time they processed my paperwork--which was turned in the first week they were accepting housing applications) were awful. During the year that I spent on campus, before I moved back home to commute, I dealt with recurring mold, the oven catching on fire, smoke detectors going off when using the toaster, and various types of bugs no matter how well things were cleaned--and that was after battling with the apartments to rip up and replace the carpet from the previous tenants, who let their cats pee on the carpet and never cleaned up. Parking is awful. It's outrageously expensive and they ignore the fact that they are a commuter school. They recently revamped the system and it's worse than before; they oversell parking passes to each "zone" (ex: they'll sell 150 parking passes in a lot that fits 75). Their solution is to force students to park in "ERP" lots and shuttle in. There is never going to be a day that I'm remotely proud to be a Coog. Sorry, Shasta.

The university is a melting pot of different cultures and backgrounds. My favorite part of attending was getting to meet people from various nations. Every country is represented on the campus and if you are a foreigner, you will find your community so that the transition into a new nation is a little easier. I had a premed undergraduate experience and I had advisors and professors who helped me with application process. You do have to be proactive in engaging with faculty members. There are multiple...
