Some of the richest people in Houston have roots in the Bauer Entrepreneurship program. Number one in the country by princeton review.

Question
U of H is clean, fun, and challengingQuite BrightEconomics
U of H is clean, fun, and challenging once you get out of the 2000 level classes. The only real upset I have is with their websites. The online resources are so bad, it really affects your ability to be a student. I've been in class over a month now and still do not have my book money. Peoplesoft has lost me in its system twice now, currently the HigherOne site and Peoplesoft are arguing about whether or not I've filled out an online form (done it three times now), and because I did not want a CougarOne bank account, I'm having trouble getting my refund.

Question
Take time to review the chapters not coveredOther
Take time to review the chapters not covered in class. They'll help for the next class. Math diverges at higher levels, learn the basics and master arithmetic in your head. Don't depend on a calculator. Professors at college rarely ever have a real job on their resume, so don't expect them to know what you "should know" in the real world. A college degree doesn't entitle you to a job, just demonstrates that you are willing to "go the distance" to achieve a goal. In summary, go to college right away, it's only more expensive and harder to attain later. In the real world, there are always candidates far more superior than you competing for a job you really want . . . and you guessed it, they get the job. Your choice of college does matter, it should be in the top 3 of your state. Engineering leads to more positions than most any other field, so you'll have the time and the ability to make career changes that don't hurt your career path to happiness.
