The University of Houston

All of the students call UH "Cougar High" for a reason. It's a huge commuter school with very little social life, or anything to do on campus. The people act like it's highschool still because most still live at home and go to UH with all of their highschool friends, because admission standards are almost 100 percent open. The education is a joke, and that is an understatement. Even uppper level classes are all scantron and the profs practically give away answers. There are a lot of older students with families at UH, so it's pretty much a pay a ton of money and get a degree in 4 fours type system. I can honestly say my highschool academic work was more challenging. Don't go here, I can't find a job.

I lovingly refer to this godawful "institution" as Satan's A-hole University, it really is like entering the depths of hell.

I posted the previous review and would like to add that I am truly, deeply afraid that my hard work and money thrown at this pit of despair will not result in a job at the end.

After reading all of these reviews about how much of a joke UH looks on a transcript, I wish I would've known about this site earlier and NEVER attended the university. I'm halfway through my studies and can't afford to start over or relocate. It is quite depressing when you have to worry about your future job security when you haven't even graduated yet.

I didn't go to college to work at some damn Mc Donald's but apparently that's where most UH graduates end up.

So sad. So unnecessary for the amount of money we pay and the amount of bull we put up with. I thought that I would at least be rewarded in the end but I'll probably just be screwed again.

I imagine when they hand out diplomas they hand you a mop and bucket to start out your fancy new career as a custodial engineer. I guess you can use the diploma to start a fire in the rubbish bin near the overpass you'll be residing under for the rest of your life.
