I just wanted to point out how stupid and dangerous websites like this are; websites that allow unabated anonymous postings… if you use websites such as this as your due diligence, do my alma mater and I a favor and look elsewhere.

You can dispel much of the rhetoric on this website just by using a legitimate resource (i.e. .gov, .edu, academic case studies, and etc.).

Take the subject of crime for example. I see a slew of reviews indicating the campus is very unsafe without properly qualifying their statement, spitting arbitrary numbers. But lo and behold when I look up actual government statics I find UH on par with that of UT-Austin and A&M-CS.

As an anonymous internet source, I can skew facts however I want and have others believe it because most people are too lazy to actually do the research themselves. I.e. UT-Austin has more rapes on their campus than UH at a 2:1 ratio and there are more burglaries at the A&M-CS campus than the UH Campus. If that?s as far as your research goes, then be you?d be inclined to think UH is far safer than both A&M and UT, but when in reality campus safety is near even for all three. Even though the information that I provided is from hard data, I skewed it to fit my agenda to present UH as the ?safer? campus or that UT-Austin/A&M-CS are unsafe.

Just understand this when researching schools in Texas: education is now a business; each school fights ruthlessly for money and use politics as their main weapon -> political success comes from campaigns and donors -> denigrating opponents is now engrained in campaigns -> anonymous internet sources help spread misinformation to further said denigration.

It?s sad that Texas education can?t even compete with that of California given the amount of resources we have; instead we use our resources to combat each other. CA has nine Tier One universities while TX only has three…

Personally, I love UH and am thankful I went there. Your university experience anywhere is what YOU make of it. Go Coogs.

As one of the admins of StudentsReview, I would like to say that while I find comments like this totally irritating, because they are completely uneducated about StudentsReview and how we work (vs. other "misinformation websites"), despite purporting to be so educated about it. And despite how "stupid and dangerous" we are, he still came to StudentsReview and wrote a positive review informing readers about Texas education. For that reason, we allow these comments. They are informative to students, despite bashing us. But man it was hard for me not to hit "delete".

I just wish to mention I'm brand-new to blog writing and also site-building as well as certainly appreciated your websites. You surely feature fabulous articles as well as evaluations. Kudos for sharing with us your blog.backfit chiropractic gilbert
