It's
kind of awkward to see the negative comments coming from
alumni, being that they had 3+ years to leave... but
anyway, yes, I am a Cougar. I'm not going to
be kissing anyone's ass, being that I originally came to
UH as my fallback school when I couldn't go to
A&M and I couldn't afford University of St. Thomas. And
I haven't been regretting it. I'm writing this to diminish
those bad reviews, because their stories are nothing more than
half-assed whining. Within my first year at school here, we've
had breakthroughs in Sports, Science, and Library reconstruction that is
amazing. I don't usually hear a lot of complaints from
people I know or ever except from commuters. Something like
“I woke up late and missed my class... traffic sucked”.
Living on campus doesn't cost that much... why not have
the REAL college atmosphere and actually live on campus. If
you're not stupid, you can find a way to get
free housing. Something that I'm doing. The only thing that
is weary are the teachers that have funky grading scales,
which as far as I know within my own degree
are far and few between. People that come here who
were in racial cliques in high school can definetly be
ready for a culture shock, but you'd have to expect
something like it being that it's Houston. What's really cool
about UH is that there are so many things to
do that you could get overwhelmed with signing up with
all you want to do. I did marching band and
I got to be in the Super Bowl. I can't
think of any fAGGIE or Longhorn that can claim
they got any PR close to that within the last
hundred and some-odd years they've had graduates. It's a plus
having a car here, but you don't need one... being
that there is a Metro route here. The one thing
that people are scared of is the night life. Yeah,
we're in the 3rd ward of Houston, but it's not
as bad as people say. Mostly stories of burglaries and
property crimes. But if you read up on FBI crime
reports - there's more of that in Caucasian-Station and Austin. UH has gotten a lot of bad rep from people...
mostly failed Aggies who come to UH to finish the
degree they barely worked on or to get a
degree that will actually be worth something in the world.
I've met countless numbers of them too. This so-called “apathy”
with UH students is a bunch of bull too. It's
like at other school... if you try to find something
to be a part of... you'll love it. If you're
lazy or if you have an extinuating circumstance like... you
have a full-time job or a family to attend to,
then yeah, be ready for nothing but studying. The hardest
things I've had to do deal with besides my studies
are dealing with people who are going to UH
when they hate it. UH is a great school with
World recognation for our programs, and if it wasn't great,
we would have become one of those crappy A&M or
UT system schools. As a final note - if you
are a person that hates UH so much or don't
want to be a part of the atmosphere, try DeVry.
