Honestly University of Houston was not my firstBrightPreVet and Veterinary
Honestly University of Houston was not my first choice. I would have much rather gone to Texas Tech or maybe even A&M however both of those schools are too far away from my family. I was, and am still not, impressed with the school spirit. This isn't high school however a lot of the time I feel like it is. Most professors are ok however I think that the Science department is lacking. I honestly feel like getting into Grad school will be hard due to the fact that I went here instead of a better university. Every time I tell someone that I am going to UH they raise their eyebrow and act snotty about it. The campus is not safe after dark and we are wayyy to close to the infamous TSU (AWFUL!!). Food sucks and the staff is rude. Some of the professors struggle with their English which makes it hard to learn. Not a bad school but not a great one...I wouldn't send my future kids here.

Question
I've been to two community colleges and threeAveragePhysics
I've been to two community colleges and three universities. I came to UH for a girl. Social life here is the worst. Professor thought I was a "spy" I was born in the USA so I don't know how that arose. All you have to do is look at my transcript,etc. Before coming here I made the dean's list and was the only A in 4 of my math and science class and an A in a few other classes. At UH, I was flunking out. I transfered and graduated fast. This school has a negative vibe. But as I see on this website some don't. Now, I run a business and tutor on the side. Because my junior advisor thought that I should be a prof someday because of my tutoring experiences.
