The University of Houston

I'm going to keep it simple and honest: worst. school. ever. I attended UH for two whole semesters before I transferred to a much better university -- the best decision of my life. The Bursar's office is occupied by full-blown retards who do nothing all day but screw around. Paid your bill in full before the semester? Keep that receipt because they might not remember. Need financial aid? Even if you apply months in advance, don't count on getting it before fees are due for that semester. Of course, the academics are a joke. If you can count to 10, you're in. The atmosphere on campus is miserable. None of the students want to be there. Most of them make no attempt to socialize and remain cliquish with their friends from high school. Yeah, the school is diverse, but it hurts the campus camaraderie. There's no bar life, though I hear there's one new bar on campus now -- I'm sure it's a blast. The school to which I transferred never had any of these problems. If you've received the piece of toilet paper UH calls an acceptance letter, think twice before enrolling. If it's too late and you're already knee-deep in that shit pile, get out and salvage your college life while you can. Godspeed.

Oh, how I wish I'd chanced upon a college review site before going to U of H. The dorms are like prison cells--just as cold and tiny (and I lived in the Honors dorms, which are supposedly more comfortable!) The honors classes I took were semi-worthwhile, but everything regular was mind-numbing bullshit. The campus is very pretty, but what they don't tell you is U of H main campus is RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF 3RD WARD: THE GHETTO. Yayyyyyy. Especially awesome if you don't own a car!

The absolute worst part about my experience--though my professors were goons and my living conditions deplorable--was the ADMINISTRATION. Oh. My. God. It took them so long to process my financial aid that it was dropped. Because of my SAT scores and great HS grades, I was supposed to have gotten a $6000 grant (paid over 4 years) to cover my expenses. I never got a penny. To this day, UH claims I OWE THEM more than $6000 dollars.If you have a choice at all, avoid U of H. It's a swirling vortex of evil that sucks the money from your savings, the brain cells from your head and the joy from your soul.
