I lovingly refer to this godawful "institution" as Satan's A-hole University, it really is like entering the depths of hell.

I posted the previous review and would like to add that I am truly, deeply afraid that my hard work and money thrown at this pit of despair will not result in a job at the end.

After reading all of these reviews about how much of a joke UH looks on a transcript, I wish I would've known about this site earlier and NEVER attended the university. I'm halfway through my studies and can't afford to start over or relocate. It is quite depressing when you have to worry about your future job security when you haven't even graduated yet.

I didn't go to college to work at some damn Mc Donald's but apparently that's where most UH graduates end up.

So sad. So unnecessary for the amount of money we pay and the amount of bull we put up with. I thought that I would at least be rewarded in the end but I'll probably just be screwed again.

I imagine when they hand out diplomas they hand you a mop and bucket to start out your fancy new career as a custodial engineer. I guess you can use the diploma to start a fire in the rubbish bin near the overpass you'll be residing under for the rest of your life.

Question
This school is NOTORIOUS for screwing people over.Quite BrightLinguistics
This school is NOTORIOUS for screwing people over. Every semester I have had with them has been a huge ordeal and hassle to get anything done correctly, on time, and without constant pestering. If you are not on top of every aspect of your college career this is NOT the university for you! You basically pay administrative fees to take care of your own files, financial aid, and other assorted paperwork because the staff are unhelpful, rude, and inept at their jobs. This semester the administration deemed it appropriate to mass rearrange class meeting times for a large number of students and notify us by email only a week before the start of the course. A phone call would have been more appropriate given the situation, as their email system has many flaws. You CANNOT just change everyone's schedule and expect us to have no problem with it. I believe the best quality about UH is it's consistency- how they consistently manage to demean, neglect, and irritate nearly every student that attends. I do not know a single person who hasn't experienced an administrative issue with this university and I advise anyone I come into contact with NOT to attend. The only reason I am still here is because it is one of only two universities in the state that offer my specific major and I cannot afford three times the tuition to attend UT. I could go on and on, really.

Question
My first year wasnt as fun as myQuite BrightPublic Health
My first year wasnt as fun as my second year mostly because I commuted my freshman year. This year I discover a lot of things to go and I am more involve in supporting the athletic cougar teams. I guess is a little more fun but academicly I think it lacks a little , the main problem I see is that class is to big there's alot of student. We are missing the teacher student interaction that we only get if the class size was much smaller.
