I just wanted to point out how stupid and dangerous websites like this are; websites that allow unabated anonymous postings... if you use websites such as this as your due diligence, do my alma mater and I a favor and look elsewhere. You can dispel much of the rhetoric on this website just by using a legitimate resource (i.e. .gov, .edu, academic case studies, and etc.). Take the subject of crime for example. I see a slew of reviews indicating the campus is very unsafe without properly qualifying their statement, spitting arbitrary numbers. But lo and behold when I look up actual government statics I find UH on par with that of UT-Austin and A&M-CS. As an anonymous internet source, I can skew facts however I want and have others believe it because most people are too lazy to actually do the research themselves. I.e. UT-Austin has more rapes on their campus than UH at a 2:1 ratio and there are more burglaries at the A&M-CS campus than the UH Campus. If that?s as far as your research goes, then be you?d be inclined to think UH is far safer than both A&M and UT, but when in reality campus safety is near even for all three. Even though the information that I provided is from hard data, I skewed it to fit my agenda to present UH as the ?safer? campus or that UT-Austin/A&M-CS are unsafe. Just understand this when researching schools in Texas: education is now a business; each school fights ruthlessly for money and use politics as their main weapon -> political success comes from campaigns and donors -> denigrating opponents is now engrained in campaigns -> anonymous internet sources help spread misinformation to further said denigration. It?s sad that Texas education can?t even compete with that of California given the amount of resources we have; instead we use our resources to combat each other. CA has nine Tier One universities while TX only has three... Personally, I love UH and am thankful I went there. Your university experience anywhere is what YOU make of it. Go Coogs.
