My experience at UH might be a bit different than the average. I was in the honors college, on scholarship, and graduated in 3 years. Out of high school, I was accepted to more prestigous schools, but chose UH for one reason, the generous academic scholarship they gave me. Now, the English Department is the best in the world for the tuition one pays. No exageration here. Creative writing is #2 in the country behind Johns Hopkins, and the literature and linguistic programs are equally as strong. UH is large enough that the departments can offer many fun elective courses, while still keeping the classes small. In athletics, we play in CUSA. All games are free, unlike most school. The baseball team is a perennial top 25 power, the football team played in the hawaii bowl last year, and the basketball team has more tradition that any other school in the country. Hell, Hakeem Olajuwon, Clyde Drexler, and Elvin Hayes played here, just to name a few. Andre Ware also won the Heisman here in the early 90's. Women's basketball is in the top ten right now, and jus got a #3 seed in the NCAA tournament. The campus is big, but spotted with impressive buildings and beautiful landscaping. I got a sweet job in the writing center that payed $10 an hour. It also got me into the grad school of my choice. I will always be a Cougar and am forever greatful for the opportunities this university has given me. Fight for Red and White! Eat 'em up Coogs!
