What I really like about the University of Houston is the people, they're pretty nice, and the school isn't as segregated as I thought it would be. I love living on campus, everything I need is within walking distance, and next semester, my classes will be in the same building as my dorm. Enough about what I like, let's talk about what I really don't like:

I'm an biomedical engineering major, and unfortunately made the mistake of doing honors. Now I'm stuck in a class called Human Situation that I absolutely hate. It will always be among the worst experiences I would have in this university. I don't appreciate how the Honors college forces students to take ten hours of Human Situation, because it's more geared toward liberal arts majors, not science and math majors.

My advice is if you're going into the STEM field, think long and hard about doing honors. STEM classes are already hard as it is, please don't add more stress to yourself by taking a class that has zero benefits.

responseI took the Human Sit while I was a STEM Major. It may not seem like it right now, but the class definitely has benefits. I thought the same thing last year-but I in time I found that my writing skills and analytical skills improved tremendously. They make everyone take it for many reasons. The Honors College definitely will benefit you-especially if you are considering the Pre-Med route. With that being said, they do tend to gear it towards liberal arts majors-but this is something you'll find at many schools.
commentThis examination is greater than possibly where I acquired amongst one of the most important nuances for my exploration study. Much needed for dispersing, possibly we can see a mess added on this. It is safe to state that you are educated emphasizing over some other websites worrying about this issue?square mortgage lender
