Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™The financial aid department never did their job and caused me and my spouse issues when we attended there. All they cared about was getting as much money from you as possible and didn’t care if you graduated. Thankfully we did graduate but not without many hassles do to their negligence. Wish I had of stayed at UH main where they offered better majors and minors with all around better degree programs.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™Great experience!!! Lots of teaching resources, genuine people that are willing to help. Lots of parking and a beautiful scenery.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™They are not financial aid friendly. Made so many mistakes on mine that I now have a balance of 1800 after paying 1k out of pocket. I was supposed to get awarded but they didn't process it. Made me fill out an appeal, get all kinds of documents, wait 2 weeks only to apologize and say I never needed one. Couldn't afford everything so ended up dropping. All my effort was useless. Countless trips to the financial aid office and nobody knows what happened.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™I love this campus of University of Houston. It has a large park type area to walk around in or study. There's always people walking around or riding bikes. The library is a marvelous place to get away from the traffic of people and relax from studying or study. There's almost always events going on that make you interact with the college a little. Parking isn't free and without a visitors pass you will get a ticket. You will also get a ticket for going over 30 MPH so watch your speed.
