I was a business student at UH and the faculty are reallyNot so bright
I was a business student at UH and the faculty are really helpful but the student body are very stuck up. You only enjoy it here if you are white and if you are a minority be prepared to be judged when you walk across campus. For example, people clutching their purses and cell phones to ignore you when they are the ones staring at you! Most closed minded people ever and as a Christian I was disappointed by the way students here judge one another and preach all of this BULL* about diversity but all you see is race cliques. Everyone writing these positive reviews about this school are probably white students. If you decide to attend UH the best thing to do is major in business since Bauer College is very prestigious. I hope all students that are thinking about going to this school read this before they apply here. Why would you go to a school where all of your classmates are over 30 and everyone drives home after class? Its a diverse school but you will be treated based on your race. Its like Texas A&M with an ethnic mix. Someone told me this before I came here and I didn't listen. Now I know for myself.

Question
I can't write enough to say how UHQuite BrightBusiness - Management and Administration
I can't write enough to say how UH is the worst university you can go to. Bureaucracy here has clearly taken control of everything. Be prepared to wait in line for hours. Their PeopleSoft system is worthless. The only efficient thing I've seen here is the payment process. When you click "make a payment" everything flies. Then you go to any office and they take forever to assist you with ANYTHING. The dorms are gross and not maintained clean by the staff as it should. There are no quiet hours and the staff doesn't care about your complains. Everyone that works in this place seems unhappy and consequently is arrogant and unfriendly. I should also mention the fact that almost every week I get emails about robberies and other crimes in the parking lots. Avoid coming to this place at all costs. Definitely not worth the money.
