The
University of Houston is actually WORSE than attending a practical
(and less expensive) two-year college. If your high school record
is less than impressive (which mine is), but you feel
you deserve a second shot because you're somewhat brilliant (but
have a rebellious past), do some facework at an inexpensive
community college, do community service and charity work, and then
transfer to a school of merit. I wish I would
have done that; I have to START ALL OVER. A
UH student gains a UH reputation - easy, unintelligent, low
standards. The University of Houston has a reputation for being
a RIDICULOUS and INFLATED institution. Their international students TEACH THE CLASSES, and the school seeks to mutilate your GPA through
busywork to make it *seem* challenging. Most students drop out
or transfer. (Good luck transferring with UH next to your
name, by the way.)
The Financial Aid office dropped
me from my classes 3 times one semester, charged me
for a class I didn't even register for, and when
I could no longer afford UH, THEY STILL GAVE ME
Fs, EVEN WHILE WITHDRAWN.
I spent over $200 on ECONOMY
parking, ran my car into the ground commuting 50 miles
total every day, spent over $400 per semester on substandard
books, and participated in the Honors Program full of untalented,
vapid, and overconfident students who were less than intelligent.
The
Human Situation class was about the only good experience I
had at UH. I met few truly gifted people in
the program that ended up transferring to NYU, Rice, UT,
A&M, Carnegie Mellon, etc. Honors College professors, although brilliant, are
not treated fairly or paid enough because UH spends their
money on propaganda and sports.
And the students are trashy,
trashy, trashy. Ghetto, image-absorbed, vapid, vain, loud, obnoxious, dreadfully misinformed,
unintelligent, low-brow. I met about 4 bright students there. The
rest are G-Unit, cliquey rejects.
If you MUST go to
college in Houston, go to Rice or a community college.
Otherwise, I recommend taking real risks away from home for
the sake of your future than attending this JOKE of
an institution.
