U r so right, i dont even go to to UofH!! It is in the Ghetto |
Major: English (This Major's Salary over time)
Oh, how I wish I'd chanced upon a college review site before going to U of H. The dorms are like prison cells—just as cold and tiny (and I lived in the Honors dorms, which are supposedly more comfortable!) The honors classes I took were semi-worthwhile, but everything regular was mind-numbing bullshit. The campus is very pretty, but what they don't tell you is U of H main campus is RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF 3RD WARD: THE GHETTO. Yayyyyyy. Especially awesome if you don't own a car!The absolute worst part about my experience—though my professors were goons and my living conditions deplorable—was the ADMINISTRATION. Oh. My. God. It took them so long to process my financial aid that it was dropped. Because of my SAT scores and great HS grades, I was supposed to have gotten a $6000 grant (paid over 4 years) to cover my expenses. I never got a penny. To this day, UH claims I OWE THEM more than $6000 dollars.If you have a choice at all, avoid U of H. It's a swirling vortex of evil that sucks the money from your savings, the brain cells from your head and the joy from your soul.
