College Advice on University of Houston

roazidd Question: how is campus life at university of houston main campus.? 35 months ago HeyIt... Best Answer It is a very urban campus. Most students commute to school and live off-campus. There is some campus life, but most students just work and go to school. The campus is located close to downtown Houston so there is a lot to do off-campus. The University of Houston has a brand new fitness and recreation facility. I toured it a few months ago and it is fantastic. They have a rock climbing wall, huge swimming pool, plenty of cardio machines and weights and a water slide. Hope that helped.

roazidd Question: how is unversity of houston main campus? how is university of houston main campus? is it a fun school? is it easy to meet people at the school? whats the best way to meet new ppl? would a frat house be a good choice? 35 months ago MsMiss Best Answer U of H is pretty cool. My niece went there and so did some of my friends. I went to TSU. My niece lived on campus for a year. She loved it but transferred to TSU with me after a couple years. She loved campus life there. It just got expensive.

Kim Question: University of Houston Freshman College Orientation? I was wondering if anyone has gone to the University of Houston's college orientation yet. I am in the middle of deciding whether I should choose the 1 day or 2 day orientation. I'm sorta strapped for money. If it's not worth it, I would go for the 1 day, but if it's fun I'll go for the 2 day. If you went already, can you tell me what goes on and if you would pick the one or two day. Thanks. 38 months ago me Best Answer I went to its orientation for 1 day on last Friday. Basically 1 day orientation just covers the main idea how the college life is and then they will walk you through the building of your major and there you can register and talk to them, etc. You can check out the sample schedule and decide which one you prefer. You won't have to pay it right away; the cost will be charged to your tuition. http://www.uh.edu/orientation/conferences.html PS: If you have a friend or a parent to go with, it would be nice. Otherwise sometimes you will feel bored and lonely, especially when you have lunch.

dewailer Question: What is the better law school in Houston Texas. Is it Texas Southern University or University of Houston? I really like TSU but I need to be able to work full time and would go to school part-time in the evenings. TSU does not offer part-time classes in the evening and UOH does. Does any one know if there are classes during the summer if one wanted to go classes all year round? Any advise or insight here is welcomed! 39 months ago samfrio Best Answer UH has a much better reputation. Their health law program is nationally recognized. I cannot advise you on availabilty of classes; but I have been told in the last years you would need to go fulltime to sucessfully complete this program. See all 2 answers
