Opiniones de University of Houston (UH)

Please take my advice and I am also speaking for another 30 intl' students. If you are an European, please stay at home or move within Europe. I think in the past there has been a big deal about getting a degree in the US. But when I compared everything with my siblings and friends I was totally fooled and disappointed. The teachers suck except for perhapes two teachers that really thought me something (they were not americans, infact from India I believe).I have visited numerous uni's in the states and also found more or less the same. The quality is very low unless you go to an ivey league school such as MIT & Standford, but those unis are extremely expensive for us intl' student. I think we should also charged 300 percent to the americans when they come and study here. It is really not fare. I was paying 5000 dollars a semester whilst an american was paying 1300 dollars for same courses. IT IS A RIP OFF! PLus the quality of service is so low it hurts your feeling after paying so much money not to recieve good servive at the uni. The campus is so big and when you have to change class and walk 15 minutes in the 97 degrees heat with 100 percent humidity, it sucks, there were days I had to take showers 5 times a day because it was so hot. Europeans don't even take that much in 4 days! So my recommendation is that do not GO there!

the quality differs very much from course to course. You should inform yourself about the professor in advance.

there are TOO much tests and projects at the end. You better finish your projects as early as you can!!

it offers a lot of courses, has a beautiful campus, it has an excellent program for the integration of international students. The dormitories are somewhat shabby, but it's ok, because you only have to sleep there :-)

well I went to this university because I was living in this town but the recommendation is that the University of Houston is not that expensive for an American university so it's good if you want to study in the States without having to pay enormous fees.
