I attended UH my freshman year. Id have to say that for certain people its the ideal university, yet for others, like myself, it leaves much to be desired. I was a UH Ambassador, which means basically that I was a student recruiter who gave tours and went to area high schools to promote the university and make it more attractive to prospective students; so Id like to at least think that I know what Im talking about. My honest opinion of the university is that it provides a quality education at an affordable price. But, as with anything else in life, you get what you pay for. If you are living at home and commuting, if you cant otherwise afford to go to school, and/or are working to pay for school yourself the university is perfect for you. They give out a ton of financial aid, provide a good education, and if you dont mind frustration from traffic to get there and finding a parking spot once you do, the school provides a great opportunity. If youre planning to live on campus and want to have a real college experience, this is NOT the place for you. I lived on campus and found that there was very little to do, especially at night because everyone commutes. While the campus itself is fairly nice, the surrounding area is GHETTO, and at night isnt always safe. Like any college, your experience will be what you make of it; and in all fairness to the school I got discouraged by the surroundings early on and now I wish I'd been more postive. But my advice is to make sure that the school fits what you want/need; and that you'd fit in there before deciding on UH.
