Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Accounting  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright Right off the bat I noticed so many negative comments, but why? As I read further, a fellow cougar pointed out something out, those negative comments came from those individuals that chose UH as a "last resort"... I was accepted into UT-Austin, Baylor, Wake Forest, Duke, and UH. Of those I chose UH. At first I was extremely hesitant because of the negative stigma it has received (like review sites such as this), but it is one of the best decisions ive made in life. The Goods... -UH compared to other in state schools in considerably cheaper, even with the poor state funding we receive compared to that of UT and A&M. -Most diverse campus in the nation! -By living in Houston you have many opportunities open to you. (Internships, Jobs, etc.) -Peers are down to earth and extremely friendly. Very few individuals with that silver spoon mentality. Majority of the students work and are fulltime students. -Professors are well educated, most of which are leagues above other universities. The Bads... -Poor campus life! 98% of UH commute. Granted clubs, organizations, and events to attend/join are plentiful, a high percentage of students work and attend UH fulltime. UH could do a better job advertising these though. But with the "Masterplan" underway hopefully this helps. -Our sports department. They work hard, but not much gets done without UT and A&M funding. -From my experience, the counselors at the business school aren’t very good. I received better advice from friends that have taken classes or just by following how quick certain classes fill up. -Needs to do a better job to stop dishonest students (cheaters).

I've had some really great professors, and have found the coursework to be both beneficial and challenging. I suspect that many of the bad reviews found here on this website are from either students who have selected majors that they are illsuited for, or from students who are seeking a keg party instead of a valuable education. All in all, I wouldn't take a minute or second back from my college experience here. I have made a multitude of friends, and have enjoyed many campus activities. (Particularly Cougar football games!)

After an hour and a half of waiting to talk to an advisor they will rush you through in two minutes and usually either don't know how to answer your questions or, my favorite, lie to you outright. Once I had to wait more than three weeks for them to disburse my financial aid, came back every week. They just kept telling me "come back next week! It will be done then". If it was going to be done, why was it they wanted me to come back? I hate this school. I wish I had gone somewhere else. It is no wonder no one donates to the university after graduation. Also, parking is inadequate. They charge you to park so that they can pay the jerks ridding around giving tickets. Its totally pointless. They have plenty of parking for staff close to the school. They are usually two thirds empty but if you park there BAM! ticket! Don't go to UH. The bureaucracy has gotten out of control. Everything is overly complicated and no one working there gives a flying f****. Useful Schoolwork: A, Innovation: F Have a Question?
