The University of Houston is a horrible school. Point Blank. Period. ONLY go to this school if you are already living in houston and the surrounding areas and for some reason can't go to a school elsewhere. Even then you may want to think about a community college. The institution itself is a large nice looking campus that is oddly sorted out. Buildings that should be close together [like the financial aid office and bursar office] are completely spread apart and require lots of walking to navigate to. I "attended" this school for two semesters and ended up getting SCREWED coming out with ZERO credits and a big hefty fee. Fall 2006 I went to U of H somewhat as a last resort and regret every minute of it. During my first semester I had a big family emergency come up that required a lot of my attention and required me to drop out of school. BIG MISTAKE. Apparently at U of H if you have problems outside of school THEY DON'T CARE! I dropped all of my classes BEFORE the final drop date in order to avoid being held responsible for payment of the courses and was still billed for them!! However the school didn't inform me that I would be screwd into paying them until I went back the following spring semester and was already two months into school!! They made me appeal for my spring financial aid which seemed SOMEWHAT logical because I had dropped before. The approved me for the appeal, I accepted my grants and loans, and even had a scholarship from my church coming in but the university NEVER DISPERSED my money!!! Their claim was they were waiting on academic improvement but I was NEVER on any type of probation! I had all A's and because they didn't give me my financial aid in the end I was expected to pay for EVERYTHING myself [fall and spring semester and I didn't even fully attend fall!!] My aid was NEVER sent out and they kept the money my church gave me!!! I was dropped from all courses for failure to pay, even though thats what financial aid is for and was told I would recieve no grades for the semester. WRONG!! They not only WITHDREW me but gave me F's!!!!! This school is horrible and are only out to get over on you. All the staff and faculty I spoke to regarding my matter were rude and unhelpful. I would NEVER recommend anyone attend this school. Even after leaving they still haunt me. I made the mistake of putting U of H down as a school I was ENROLLED in on another college application and am now denied admmission because they require either a transcript or letter of withdrawl for U of H and they REFUSE to send one. Ever mentioning them on any application was my OWN falut and now I know to never mention them again. It is keeping me out of the school I always wanted to go to most!! SUMMARY: The University of Houston SUCKS!!!! DON'T GO!!!
