Major: Psychology (This Major's Salary over time)
I transferred to UH after a year and a half at a com college. I was so excited to finally be at a university and have always been very enthused about my education. Unfortunately that is not the atmosphere there and they seem to crush your drive to learn. They are completely unorganized and took over a year to evaluate my transcripts (I had already attended the school for the year before they evaluated them) and because of this my financial aid was that of a freshman rather than a junior. They took so long to disperse my loans that I always had to either do a payment plan or an emergency loan in order to attend. The welcome center would take my paperwork and say it would be turned in, then a week later I would call to check and they would have no record of anything ever being turned in. I would go down there and demand to speak to someone who would actually do their job, yet everyone I met with would be the "wrong" person and they would send me to someone else, a huge circle until I ended up at the beginning and starting over. I never received and adequate amount of advising from the school counselors either. They degree plans were constantly changing! I would go in and find out what classes I needed, enroll and start the sem., then go to enroll the next sem. and find I had taken classes that were useless (though I had been told to take those very ones). I would find out about deadlines for things after they passed and ended up putting me a hole semester behind when I wanted to graduate. The prof were not much better, none of them seemed to care or put any effort into their classes. I would take online classes then the prof would make you attend weekly or bi-weekly meetings… DO NOT GO TO THIS UNIVERSITY!
