University of Houston Reviews

"It was a big campus with lots of activities going on. I really loved it. The only con was that it was not centered in a good neighborhood, other than that it was great."

"I enjoyed the University of Houston very much. I started off as a sculpture major and decided to switch to Studio Arts because I feel like the drawing and painting department had a lot more to offer. There were other very interesting classes to take as well like a class on the color white and color theory. Ceramics was a lot of fun, I learned a lot of different ways to express what I wanted to express. If I could do it over, I would probably focus more on painting, but I am glad to have learned everything that I did. I would like to go into Art Therapy and my skills learned at U of H are definitely handy. You know what, I wouldn't change a thing!"

"This M.S. program at UH is the most structured, well delivered, and professional program I have ever had the pleasure to experience. The courses are incredibly informative and extremely applicable directly to a career in the Geosciences. They do an outstanding job preparing students for their career."

"Hello Friends, I usually don't complain about any education institute but University of Houston - Main Campus is an exceptional. I joined graduate program after reviewing the course catalog on the University's site I.e. for Fall of 2015. Trust me I literally joined an average University above my other good admits. The problem started from first semester itself. The professors for two out of three courses couldn't speak English properly leave alone teaching, I did complain to the graduate advising office about it but nothing was done, I moved on tried to understand on my own but managed to get a B along with 2 A's. The most difficult part to digest came in second semester one of the professor who taught Production planning and inventory control had a grudge on me for pointing out she had taught us wrong during the initial classes. The professor was so rude and unprofessional with me that at one point I thought of leaving graduate school itself. She literally gave me a D even though I could have got at least a B in her subject. I brought this to the notice of the department but to my extreme shock they didn't care about it. I can point out a lot of bad stuff but the main point is the professor was racist, she wanted her country students to get good grades along with Americans but wanted Asians to get low grades. Especially the ones who don't agree on what she thinks is right. So now I'm stuck with a D in my transcript: 8A's, 1B, 1B+ and a D. I think I made a huge mistake joining a University with such a racist professor."

"The University of Houston was a great school. The environment there seems much more vibrant since I attended (Newer facilities, stadium, etc.). The location was very convenient to where I lived and the classes I attended were a good size and teachers easily accessible which I liked."

"The pros of my graduate program is that is allows for many clinical opportunities to gain experience and knowledge. The cons is that it is far from home and the surrounding area might be a little to populated."

"The University of Houston has a great campus and their professors are top notch. The knock on the university is that it is a commuter school, but the vibe around campus is changing and if you are willing to give your time to the university you will have a great experience."

"The classes were engaging and I'm proud of the education I received there. However, it is largely a commuter school, so there was never a huge sense of community or school spirit."

"Very affordable. A commute school. A school to attend if you are working and attending college."

"I didn't care for it much. It was a commuter school for me. For the school, I chose the wrong major. I should not have gone there. Their media production department did not prepare me for any jobs and wasn't as intensive as I'd have liked. I was very disappointed with my experience there."

"I am currently enrolled in the University of Houston Law Center as a 1L. There are so many awesome things about University of Houston Law but one that really stands out is the faculty and staff support. They know that you are paying boatloads to go back to school and they really want to see you succeed. The teachers all have J.Ds so they know what it's like to take on law school and seeing their students do well truly means something to them. The con of course is the payment, as it is with just about all other grad programs. Houston has a pretty doable cost of living but even so, tuition is expensive and financial aid is almost always a given for those putting themselves through school."

"The university both benefits and suffers from the fact that it is a commuter school. Classmates are very diverse and you get a lot of different perspectives which is great. People are generally there to learn and aren't distracted by the so-called "college experience." The flip side of that coin is that you miss out on the "college experience." There is not a great sense of community because most students don't live on campus or attend events. Because of this, alumni are not invested in the campus community and not as inspired to donate/mentor/etc. like other schools' alumni are."

"I am enrolled in the Summer MA for Theatre Educators Program which is one of very few offerings available to working teachers such as myself. Out of the options available I felt University of Houston's program really stands alone due to the travel component- not only do you get to study at UH with some phenomenal professors, but you also get to study at places like Lincoln Center in NYC, Steppenwolf Theatre in Chicago, and the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London. For the price and workload it is well worth it to have such a diverse educational experience."

"I attend the Bauer College of Business at the University of Houston and I'm working on my Master's in Accountancy(MSACCY). Bauer has excellent faculty. Bauer has the traditional audit and tax specialties like everybody else. Bauer also has specialties in internal audit and risk. Bauer is one three schools in the US that has been named a center of excellence by the Institute of Internal Auditor(IIA). Because of my unique situation, I have already sat for two sections and already passed one section of the CPA. I'm waiting on the results for the seconds section.Bauer has prepared me well for the CPA and for life. We have the Big 4 and other accounting firms, oil and gas companies. on campus constantly."

"I think my graduate program in Subsea Engineering(university of Houston) is really good for me ,It has really been helpful in that It has helped me to to have to have a well rounded type of education . I have increased in knowledge and I look forward to an exciting career and a great future. However to complete my studies , I will need the support of graduateprograms.com. I believe I will use the scholarship/ funding in rent, feeding and up keep. I also hope that It will help focus more on my academics."

"Pros: The University of Houston is the 2nd most diverse university in the nation. I couldn't image doing my social work degree and learning about cultural competence with a class with no diversity. The opportunity for internships and employment are limitless. The University of Houston as made the list as one of the most underrated university's as well as one of the U.S. 50 most affordable universities. Cons: One major cons, is the social work program is 90 percent focused on Micro social work and 10 percent Macro social work. The university is also located in an older ward of Houston."

"Pros: - Diversity of students - Great Faculty - Job Placement Cons: - Choice of classes/courses"

"Great program, lots of opportunities, caring faculty."

"The assistance from faculty and staff is unbelievable. You feels like you're not alone. The career development office is so helpful: they assist you in being successful as an intern and with finding a job after graduation. The networking opportunities provided are enormous. Every resource you need is provided by the Law Center. The only way to fail at UHLC is not to take the initiative to ask for help."
