Diversity, hands down. And this is coming from somebody that went to a pretty ethnically diverse high school. Before coming to UH, I had never before seen so many different people of so many differing ethnic backgrounds in one place. I'm not even exaggerating when I say that walking to class that I can hear at least three different languages being spoken! I think its pretty neat.

My favorite campus traditions are Winter Wonderland, Cougar Red Friday, and $1 ice cream at Shasta's Cones & More (if UH wins football games, there are more $1 ice cream days).

Every Friday we have Cougar Red Fridays, which is basically a day for students to show their pride. Everyone actually participates because there are so many prizes given away to the people that participate! Even Shasta comes out to join us!

This allows our university to attain ideas and efficiency in operations by bringing the best of different cultures. This helps us, as students, to understand values that different cultures practice, and maintain at high importance.

Thus, studying at University of Houston has exposed me to different cultures and has made me well prepared to face the real world.

Jorge

Well one of the reasons why I enrolled at the University of Houston was because of the great Architecture program it holds. Since its one of the best schools for Architecture, it only allows 120 students per year into the program. Luckily for me, I was accepted to the Gerald D. Hines School of Architecture. My first semester was nothing to what I had expected a college experience to be like; instead, it was the best! I enjoyed all of the models I've had built even though not much sleep was aquired during the semester. This is my opinion.
