The University of Houston

I am 40 years old now and graduated. I agree with the post below that the student environment is negative. But I came to this school for a girl, so I may be biased. UH was one of the most depressed times in my life. The A&M team was badmouthing our team. When I told my teammates what happened, they turned on me instead because I'm foreign. Most people know that college station students are trouble makers at competitions. But our team wanted to side with the white people because their white. I worked full time since I was 12 and paid my whole way through college without a car till I was 26. I graduated high shcool with $90k in todays dollars from minimum wage. And I watched my poor friends eat better, dress better, and have days off to spend their money. My parents donated somewhere between 1/2 to a million towards my father's alumni. I find it shallow when I'm treated like the evil foreigner until people realize what my family does.
