When
people think of U of H, there are many misconceptions.
I feel that this university is the most underrated
of them all!! When many think of going to
school in Texas, it is A&M and UT and after
that is Texas Tech and Texas State. However, U
of H deserves to be right in there. Academically,
we have many of the best programs here. Off
the top of my head, I know that the business
school is one of the best in the nation.
Yes, I did say best in the nation! It
is better than A&M’s, Texas Tech’s, and Texas State’s, as
well as most other schools in Texas. The Hotel
and Restaurant Management program is also one of the best
in the nation. The School of Music is exceptional
(not sure of the ranking), as well as many others.
When people automatically assume, U of H does not
have good academics they are very wrong. Socially, there
is also quite a life to offer to students coming
here. Many feel that this is just a commuter
campus and they won’t have a life nor friends if
they come here. However, this is also a misconception.
Although many commute and do not get involved, there
are also just as many that do. I always
think of U of H as havin the best of
both worlds: the great selection of classes, teachers, campus, and
Divison I sports like a large university, but with some
commuters it makes the campus seem a little smaller, more
approachable, and homey. If you live on campus and
want the college experience, you will more than get it..
I, for one (as well as ALL my friends),
attend all the football games (and tailgate before), baseball games
(and also tailgate) and basketball games, and am also involved
in a sorority and many other campus activities. With
it being in Houston, one of the largest cities, there
are always tons of choices for fun at your fingertips.
Whether a perfect night consists of margaritas at a
Mexican restaurant followed by a bar or club, a nice
dinner and a play, or bowling and ice cream, the
activities are always close by. Of course, there are
always the museums, festivals, zoo, and hundreds of other things
too!! There are also fun Fraternity Parties and other house
parties that students will have. I know some feel that
the area around campus is also quite unsafe and you
will be mugged just coming here. However, in 2
years of me living right here on campus, I have
never had a problem nor have my friends (nor has
my brother who already graduated from here). Sure, I
don’t recommend you walking at night in some areas, but
the campus itself is very safe and you should not
have a problem at all. In fact, many streets
right next to campus contain beautiful mansions. The area
is just mixed a little. The campus is also
quite beautiful I think! Our Recreation Center has got
to be one of the best inside! Another thing
that you get here is Diversity, which I think is
great. I come from a very homogeneous area and
it is a relief to see many different types of
people getting to interact and learn from one another.
Here, you can be who you are or want to
be and it is okay, because there are tons of
types of people. There is no standard of what
you need to look like or what you need to
wear. I know that at some school there is
a standard of person and here there is not that.
I absolutely love U of H and am so
glad I am here.
