Question
If you are looking for the "college experience"BrightPerfomance Arts
If you are looking for the "college experience" do not come here. If you are looking to make do, just get by, get a degree, then get out then U of H will satisfy you probably. They do hand out plenty of degrees here it's just that maybe you'd rather enjoy your 4 years in the process. Campus life- a joke. Everyone commutes and the rest keep to themself. It's looked down upon to live on campus. I joined a sorority to survive but even that has not helped me totally because the day to day living on campus is lonely and you will eat alone a lot, most do. Dorm parties don't happen. If you are greek then they will want to go to bars. I personally just want to be a college kid, I'll go to bars when I'm a strung out divorcee. That's just me. I just want to be a kid. I want commraderie, a filled lunch table, community. If you're just fine with existing then this place is fine but if you want to Live then find somewhere else. I'm in the process currently.

Question
I do not like the faculty at thisQuite BrightChemical Engineering
I do not like the faculty at this university. Specially chem e department. Profs are not easy to approach. Some profs DO NOT even respond to emails, sometimes are not even in their office during office hours. No clear cut response what so ever. It is true that faculty does not speak english as their first lang. this creates confusion. classes are not exciting and not interactive. I tried really hard to enjoy it here and study my butt off. I feel more depressed now because of poor interaction with faculty and hardly any help from Chem E profs. Even the dean (Dr. Flescher)of chem e department does not give a damn about how you are doing in class, if the professor is teaching well. He once told me that,"Its not profs fault that more than 50% of the students in his class are failing. Students have to know how to study for the class." We do not have enough profs per subject. hardly any chem e class has an optin of profs to choose from. They all have bad reviews from previous class students.
