Recently, parking has improved with new lots. But during busy hours, people are playing musical chairs. The Cougar Place apartments is the worst I have ever seen including any motel. The campus is in a bad neighborhood. This is a commuter school. The social life and camaraderie is low. I am a physics major. Fellow students do not study together much. They can be rude and judgemental. I went to UT Austin and Houston Baptist University and didn't have these problems. Two of my professors plus graduate students have commented: UH undergraduates are stupid. Twice, in a coffee shop, I was told UH is for stupid ones. Four of my professors have complained about classroom facilities. In a junior level math course, students could not see the board half the time. The class was too small for number of students. Teaher was oblivious and used side board. We stood up for a few days. And this was a math major only class. In another classroom, chalkboard is small and unusual location. Prof moved us to new room because of this. I have never seen a white board anywhere. No ventilation, AC, or heating in two classrooms. In three weeks, my prof got heater running. Library computer accessibility is very bad. You could wait an hour and still not find one open. Another professor commented UH is notorious for lack of preplanning for maintenance costs of building design. But, library and science building are under construction, maybe 3 to 10 years. I believe that some find UH just what they needed. I believe that some are here for financial reasons and feel great and content being here. But, if you come from out of town, be prepared to transfer again.
