Anissa

A person who should'nt attend this institution would be someone who is not used to a large campus. Getting around campus in a timely manner can be difficult at times and takes some getting used to. Also someone who is not used to large class sizes, I had that problem this year and it seriously effected myself academically

University of Houston is so diversed with people of different cultural and ethnic background that there is no reason to not attend to this school.

Alexandra

If you're obsessed with college sports, or looking for an easy coast-through-college experience (academically speaking), this is definitely not the school for you.

Alexis

A person who isn't willing to work hard should not attend this school. A lot of people end up at UH because it is there safety and assume that it will be a breeze, but that is definitely not the case! Even if you aren't in the Honors College, it's very challenging. This isn't high school anymore, so expect to spend countless hours in the library (or whatever your preferred study place may be) studying. It's a lot og hard work, but it's rewarding.

Wesley

Someone who is striving to further their educations and capitalize on the many career opportunities within the surrounding Houston area.

If you lack any kind of motivation and drive, you wouldn't do well at this school. You have to be able to push yourself towards your personal goal, but without that, you will end up slacking and, honestly, wasting a lot of money by attending this university.

Brittney

Honestly, I think The University of Houston interest all types of people! If I had to point out someone who would not like it, I would have to say it is a person who does not like college, sports, activities, or having a social life.

Laura

I do not believe that there is any one particular person who should not attend this school. Everyone is given an opportunity to succeed here, no matter their situations, however a student at this school must be willing to take that opportunity head-on. Where there is a will, there is certainly a way.

Alicia

If a person does not easily adapt to a large amount of diversity and is looking for a school where many students are very friendly and willingly interactive, University of Houston is not for them.

Stephanie

Someone who does not enjoy an urban atmosphere will not enjoy the University of Houston. It is a large university that is located in the heart of downtown Houston. Getting used to how the highways, the pace of the city and the transition to college will be a lot to take in.

Christine

I believe that everyone should have the opportunity to attend college. However, I feel that too often students attend college as a rite of passage and not to further their educational goals or career. To attend the College of Education you must be dedicated to work with children and help them acheive their future dreams.

Samantha

The University of Houston is located in the greater Houston area therefore creating an enormous diverse campus. The school has a huge variety of different student organizations including everything from different cultures to different majors to different extracurricular interests.

People with disabilities should not attend The University of Houston. The campus is very large and it would be hard for them to get from one place to another.

Tejal

I think someone who doesn't care about a high quality education shouldn't go here. This school is making it's way to Tier One . For a student to go here, they must be committed and up for the challenge that will come along. Going to UH means getting the bankg for your buck. If you just want to come here and not take things seriously and expect to graduate then I suggest that student go elsewhere.

Bowen

i think everyone should attend to school to improve their personal values.

Johnetta

The person that should not attend the University of Houston would one that is intolerant. If the person cannot become focused on academic, school spirit and loyalty; they need to look esle where.

Tracy

The type of person that should not attend University of Houston is the type of person is not willing to work hard in their selected courses, instead they are looking for college to be like high school, where they had to put a little effort to get a good grade. Also if they are the type of the person that has excuses for every situation they might have gotten themselves into.

Stephanie

I believe that this school is for everyone. No one who attends the University of Houston will feel left out because this campus is full of ethnic/political/religious diversity. There are a bunch of clubs for various cultures, entertainment, political views, etc. When new students arrive on campus, they are welcomed with open arms by the staff and students. Ask anyone a question about the school or where your classroom is, and they would be glad to assist you.

Katherine

I would not recommend the University of Houston for anyone who dislikes large classes or crowds. Many core classes are attended by two hundred students or more. Also, anyone who does not have an interest in fraternities or sororities would have a harder time finding a group to belong to, although it is possible. Anyone who dislikes professors with strong or controversial opinions would be uncomfortable here.

UH is a commuter school. There are a few dorms but most students commute. If you are looking for a small (or large) party school this isn't the school for you.

LeAnna

The University is very diverse and appeals to a broad majority of people. There are many oppurtunities and groups to join to become a part of the school. It is a good school, well known and the campus is up to date. The school offers and accomidates the student's needs and wants. The school is a good choice for all.

Amanda

Any one who expects to slide through or break the academic honesty policy.

Ashanti

If you are into quiet reflection on your own you shouldn't go to this school. If you like deep philosophical discussion...we got that. If you like parties...we got that. If you like culture...we got that in spades. If you want a school that is in the forefront of the research field...we are. If you want a school that is known by businesses as the place to get employees...here we are. But if you want prestige...go somewhere else. If you want lots of school rituals...we probably don't have enough for you.

jihan

Anyone who doesn't really want to exprience the college life.

Anna

People who are not concerned with learning or advancing themselves should not attend this school, or any for that matter. School is a place to further your education, your perception, and to help your become a stronger and more mature person. It helps direct you towards what you enjoy, and how you can help the people and places around you.

Nicole

I don't think a stubborn, close-minded person should come to the University of Houston. Our campus is extremely diverse so I don't see someone that isn't open to change lasting here.
