The people that are saying the school is
ghetto and full of foreigners
are obviously just racist. Yeah the school isn't like A&M where the majority of student are white but it's also not like TSU where the majority of student are scary ghetto. It's like the city of Houston, a hodgepodge of different ethnicities and cultures, which is one of the reason why I chose to go here and not to A&M…I'm also not a racist, so if you have bias against individuals with a different skin color you aren't welcome at UH, save it for A&M it's already full of redneck racists.

The school was actually given a better overall rating bu the Princeton Review this year than A&M, so the notion that the school is crappy is false. YES, the science department does need A LOT of work done on it however since we are now a Tier One school that particular department will receive more money and have a chance to better it's standards of BOTH professors and students.

The financial aid department is the same as any other college (4 OR 2 year)…a pain in the ass. It's obvious the people working there are angry that they didn't have a chance to further their education and take it out on the students…but like I said that's at every other university, it's not special at UH.

I'm proud to go to UH. The campus is beautiful, there are many relevant organizations and clubs on campus, and there are always free events going on. If you don't want the "city college" experience then don't go here! I personally like the fact that the school is based in a large city but to each his own. Yes the honors college is great and I personally have taken quite a few classes there but there's NOTHING wrong with the "regular" school. Like I said before, were Tier One now and were given a better rating than A&M…Things are only going up from here :)

Responses
responseI went to A&M and I agree with you for the racist part.

A&M is packed with racist rednecks, even though they try to appear to be friendly.

The only thing I love about A&M is the safety of the campus. It's ridiculously safe!
