This school is NOTORIOUS for screwing people over. Every semester I have had with them has been a huge ordeal and hassle to get anything done correctly, on time, and without constant pestering. If you are not on top of every aspect of your college career this is NOT the university for you! You basically pay administrative fees to take care of your own files, financial aid, and other assorted paperwork because the staff are unhelpful, rude, and inept at their jobs. This semester the administration deemed it appropriate to mass rearrange class meeting times for a large number of students and notify us by email only a week before the start of the course. A phone call would have been more appropriate given the situation, as their email system has many flaws. You CANNOT just change everyone's schedule and expect us to have no problem with it. I believe the best quality about UH is it's consistency- how they consistently manage to demean, neglect, and irritate nearly every student that attends. I do not know a single person who hasn't experienced an administrative issue with this university and I advise anyone I come into contact with NOT to attend. The only reason I am still here is because it is one of only two universities in the state that offer my specific major and I cannot afford three times the tuition to attend UT. I could go on and on, really.
