The
University of Houston is a horrible school. Point Blank. Period. ONLY go to this school if you are already living
in houston and the surrounding areas and for some reason
can't go to a school elsewhere. Even then you may
want to think about a community college.
The institution itself
is a large nice looking campus that is oddly sorted
out. Buildings that should be close together [like the financial
aid office and bursar office] are completely spread apart and
require lots of walking to navigate to. I “attended” this
school for two semesters and ended up getting SCREWED coming
out with ZERO credits and a big hefty fee. Fall
2006 I went to U of H somewhat as a
last resort and regret every minute of it. During my
first semester I had a big family emergency come up
that required a lot of my attention and required me
to drop out of school. BIG MISTAKE. Apparently at U
of H if you have problems outside of school THEY DON'T CARE! I dropped all of my classes BEFORE the
final drop date in order to avoid being held responsible
for payment of the courses and was still billed for
them!! However the school didn't inform me that I would
be screwd into paying them until I went back the
following spring semester and was already two months into school!!
They made me appeal for my spring financial aid which
seemed SOMEWHAT logical because I had dropped before. The approved
me for the appeal, I accepted my grants and loans,
and even had a scholarship from my church coming in
but the university NEVER DISPERSED my money!!! Their claim was
they were waiting on academic improvement but I was NEVER
on any type of probation! I had all A's and
because they didn't give me my financial aid in the
end I was expected to pay for EVERYTHING myself [fall
and spring semester and I didn't even fully attend fall!!]
My aid was NEVER sent out and they kept the
money my church gave me!!! I was dropped from all
courses for failure to pay, even though thats what financial
aid is for and was told I would recieve no
grades for the semester. WRONG!! They not only WITHDREW me
but gave me F's!!!!! This school is horrible and are
only out to get over on you. All the staff
and faculty I spoke to regarding my matter were rude
and unhelpful. I would NEVER recommend anyone attend this school.
Even after leaving they still haunt me. I made the
mistake of putting U of H down as a school
I was ENROLLED in on another college application and am
now denied admmission because they require either a transcript or
letter of withdrawl for U of H and they REFUSE
to send one. Ever mentioning them on any application was
my OWN falut and now I know to never mention
them again. It is keeping me out of the school
I always wanted to go to most!!
SUMMARY: The University
of Houston SUCKS!!!! DON'T GO!!!
