The school is very diverse and has lots of great resources they provide for their students. It’s massive and they’re always constantly building something new. The only downfall would be the prices of the apartments on campus but living in a city as big as houston you’re able to comfortably live off campus and commute to school. The dining halls have great food, we also have a larger cafeteria and student centers all around campus. Depending on what program you are attending on the campus they all have their own special perks. I attend the Bauer College of Business and the classrooms are not old by any means, everything feels new, and the bathrooms are always clean. We have a large recreation center with lots of different machines to use if you’re into fitness. Also if you like to study outdoors rather than indoors, we have so many shaded areas around trees and even a small fountain nearby the Cullen building. Most students love to do their studying there! Campus life is great here.
I love going to the University of Houston. I don’t live on campus, but some of my friends do, and they are always having fun. There’s always a party to go to; always an event to be at. Classes are also very good here. I’ve experienced many amazing professors in my classes, and have been very content with my education so far. I just have a hard time studying and memorizing, but at the end of the day, the work gets done. Parking is bad, that I cannot lie about. I park in Zone E, which is a giant lot next to the metro tracks, and the parking is just really full and horrible there. I wanted to switch to a garage, but it would’ve been $700 to do so. Also, I’ve seen a male Karen verbally attack the librarians/help service desk before and it wasn’t very “cash money” of them, but the staff handled it very well and I respect them. Food is pretty decent, and campus is very large. I also just watched a theater production entitled “The Learned Ladies”, and it was honestly really good! Go Coogs!
University of Houston has given me a wonderful education and provided me with many exciting experiences in the heart of Houston. UH is a diverse school that promotes unity among its students. I have met many wonderful friends with different interests and backgrounds. While it is a large school, it's easy to build community through its many student organizations and events. There are so many fun things to do and explore off campus as well! As a pre-med student, I have had many opportunities to network with local hospitals, clinics, and doctors in Houston. Overall, I have loved my time at UH and I'm sad to only have one year left!
