Terrible financial aid serviceBrightPsychology
Terrible financial aid service and financial services. Very slow and bad at communicating with students about holds and what is still needed. Parking is terrible after 9 or 9:30 am.

Question
UH is a great school, people who complainQuite BrightHistory/Histories (art history/etc.)
UH is a great school, people who complain about campus safety say this without any knowledge of how bad it is at other schools. UT which is the school everyone is glorifying here is one of the worse in campus safety. How many of you have actually been robbed on campus? shot at? Third ward people stay on their side, just go out and say it, your racist and are scared that black people are living so close to a school. Pathetic. Maybe all of your mom's should hold your hands while you go to class. People act like parking at UH is the worst in the nation and every school in the world has their parking issues fixed. What i find most amusing is that people complain about walking! Walking, no wonder why we are the fattest city in the state. To the people who are complaining about the "easiness" of the classes, admit it you failed and now you are ranting on how teachers don't care and they are laid back and you have to learn on your own. Well it's college, you have the textbook, the internet SO GO LEARN IT. UH standards of admission have gone up but people want the students to be top 10% caliber students while they got in with their top 50%. To those complaining about the fees... get real. Go look at the cost of attendances to other schools. No i'm not saying go look at UT or A&M but other schools and compare. All these people complaining are a bunch of community college transfers who are use to getting their easy A and when they actually have to do a test at a university they get a C for the same work and they complain. Their is a saying ?If the work you do is average and you put out average effort but expect anything else more than average, you are clinically insane." To the people complaining about financial aid. You want them to spoon feed you right? You want them to fill out your fafsa, then tell you how much received via personal call then do everything just for you? Really? There are over 38k students at the school, no other school except maybe Rice does that which has a little over 3k students. I honestly question everyone's, lets call it a 'review', here. You either have not been on campus and are just going by what you hear that going here will kill you because black people live close by and it's a commuter school so you can't make any friends is just coded talk for "man, i don't have anyone to cheat off or anyone that has all the class notes already since they took that class". On a final note to everyone complaining, grow a pair will ya and go back to all these "schools" you got accepted to but decided to come to UH. We don't need you at my campus anyways

Question
I should have known the moment the lawAveragePhysics
I should have known the moment the law student first set eyes on me that I wasn't welcome. I'm not a law student. But I did canyoning with them abroad. They were rude and called the Italian student "the brown one." Instructor kept yelling at me and law students only wanted to drink with him. I didn't feel welcome even though we all went to UH. Comraderie sucs. Also physics professor spent 30 minutes of lecture calling Japanese "stupid."
