One of the best things about the University of Houston is its constant endeavor to improve. Recently named a Tier One university, the University of Houston is well on its way to becoming one of the nation’s top public universities. The University has spent millions of dollars on renovating its residential dining halls and building new dormitories, classrooms, and research facilities. Most of all, the University is making major improvements to its teaching staff. With improvements to its infrastructure, the University has been attracting many well qualified professors over the past five years. Truly this University is Tier One.

I brag mostly about the amount of money that I'm saving and how lenient the curriculum is, at least in comparison to the schools they go to.

I also brag about how much more of Houston I am exposed to now as opposed to when I lived in the suburbs.

University of Houston is like a city inside of a city. It has everything you will ever need, down to underwear. You can eat anywhere and you will make all types of friends along the way. The faculty and staff are supportive and don't be intimidated by the size of the campus. By the third day, you will know your way around "town". Also, there is ALWAYS something going ono. You will have tons of fun.

The atmosphere on campus is wonderful! It is near where I live, and I can still see my friends high school! The campus has a lot of events from the Student Board, such as comedy events and tournaments. The campus also has a whole bunch of restraunts that I love, and the University Center has its own arcade center with some of the classic games, such as Street Fighter. The campus is large but at the same time not too expansive, and I can get from point A to point B easily by walking!

Manuel

At the University of Houston, professors have diverse background, project their passion towards their lectures, and work with students to improve their understanding about the course. For instance, my History teacher, a former Civil Rights Movement activist described his experience about racial tensions when a student asked for clarification about racial discrimination. Also, my Pre-calculus professor would post her online reviews for all exams, so students would take advantage of the covered material to learn for the upcoming tests. Overall, professors try to engage students through humor, powerful stories, or individual attention when students ask for assistance or questions.

Terence

I brag about the diversity our campus has, and about all the new and different types of people i have met.

I often brag that I love my classes. They are fun yet help me to plan my course through college and create pieces of artwork. I love my teachers simply for the freedom they give to us students, their wisdom, and their ability to help me out when I need help. They give great advice, especially my favorite teacher, who is also my adivsor.

Jorge

The Recreational Center is one of the most amazing places to not only enjoy oneself but to also create new friendships. The Rec Center has everything one can think of... it has an inside and outside pool, indoor track, a rediculous amount of gym equipment, an indoor soccer field, racketball courts to release stress, and of course five courts for basketball. During the weekdays, instructors teach tae kwon doe, fencing, and if someone doesn't kno how to swim they teach you as well. To top it off, U of H has a rock climbing wall!

Stephanie

When I brag about the University of Houston, I tell my friends about the awesome people that I meet as well as all of the knowledgable professors teaching at this school. I always hear my friends who are attending community colleges that their professors are lazy and will not help them, so I strongly encourage them to go to the University of Houston because the professors here will answer all of your questions and most even stay after class to tutor you until you understand what they are teaching you.
