The Good:UH is academically a very sound school.BrightPreMed and Medical
The Good:UH is academically a very sound school. Screw the ratings. remember that people will complain about everything, and there is always something to complain about at UH. Statistically it does not fare well because of the commuter students. The food on campus has drastically improved this year, even though some aramark workers can be mean (some are really nice too). There is a student life to be had, its about average as compared to all the other colleges (if you live on campus).

The bad: my only qualm has been this; Because of the diversity, there is much of racism at this school. mostly Whites hating blacks, and blacks hating whites. The quads are mostly honors college whites, hispanics, indians, and asians. The towers have a heavily overrepresented black population. which is all fine, except it can cause some racial tension. I have seen many cases of black students being racist towards white students. Also some white professors tend to discriminate against the blacks, maybe in retaliation? all i know is we just need to get along.im half chinese BTW

Racial prejudice exists atSuper BrilliantMechanical Engineering
Racial prejudice exists at UH. White people hate other non-white here. I have been called to go back to my own country. UH claims to have diversity. Diversity my ass!
