University of Houston Rankings by Salary Score™

Instructors don’t reply to your emails. They have TAs who will reply so late but not solve the problem. Instructors don’t care if your grade is dropping because you don’t understand the assignments, or because they have insufficient information which is misleading in the syllabus. One assignment can drop your grade so much because of percentage distribution. The administration doesn’t answer the call and when they do, they don’t know how to help you. The university’s advisors fail to provide basic information... Read More like how to file a degree plan or don’t even tell you, you basically hear it from fellow students. The advisors also don’t care that you don’t have any classes to register for without their permission, which is absolutely ridiculous cause then you are left with the worst of the worst professors. You basically have to figure out everything yourself as they don’t guide you. Online education has also ruined most of the things of this university. But I am sure even if it was in person, it would be the same. They also don’t update the classes you take in other institution and you keep calling them hoping them to add the classes that you took already.

*** READ THIS REVIEW BEFORE SPENDING MONEY ON CLASSES *** My name is Joseph and I am a recent graduate from The University of Houston. I lived on campus (Moody Towers) as a full-time student for approximately two years. The purpose of this review is to render information about the quality of education and what life is like at The University of Houston Central Campus. I believe that this review will help to peel away some of the deceptive layers (friendly tour guides, appealing campus grounds, and tuition rates)... Read More that have been implemented by the school’s business model. This review will be partitioned into the categories of Housing, Quality of Education, Safety, and Dining. Housing My experience at Moody Towers can be summed up in one simple phrase. “You get what you pay for”. There were numerous issues that caused me to realize that I was spending more money then what the facility was worth. Roaches and rodents were not uncommon pests to encounter for many of the residents at Moody Towers. (this seems to be an issue with the other residential facilities on campus as well) The housing staff members that were responsible for overseeing the management of the facility were grimy, indecent individuals that always tried to make students feel as if they are lesser beings (this is specifically an issue with the RAs). Water outages were a common occurrence that sometimes spanned more than a day (which effected the dining hall). Quality of Education The well known phrase “you get what you pay for” can also be applied to the quality of education that UofH presents to their students. Exceptional individuals can expect to become extremely bored with course content due to the fact that they cater the classes towards minimum requirement students. Many of these students act like children and interrupt class lectures on a regular basis. The teachers can only helplessly stand by and plead for the students to act appropriately for fear of administrative action if they say something that could be remotely perceived as offensive. Safety Safety on campus is a joke. Crimes such as vehicle theft, aggravated robbery, and assault are not uncommon on campus. Some criminals feel impunity to the point that they try and steal backpacks from people at the student center in broad daylight. Many parts of the campus have poor lighting and can increase the likelihood of crimes occurring. The campus police and security officers are more concerned about harassing students rather than ensuring their safety. Dining On the surface, the dining facilities seem like a great value for students living on campus. However, some may notice that the amount of money that is charged per semester for meal plans does not equate to the services provided. The dining halls often close or limit their hours for trivial reasons, which can be annoying if you live on campus and do not own a car. These closures and limitations on hours of operation are approved by a student body that does not even live on campus or eat at the dining halls everyday. The managerial staff never do anything to improve services after receiving feedback from residents. The individuals that prepare and serve the food could probably care less about its quality. I would often find that the food is dry, contains low grade meat, is overcooked, or has inedible items such as plastic. In sum, the individuals that are looking to for high quality education with livable facilities should probably research other academic institutions. With the pandemic, it is probably better to find an accredited online university that is cheaper than UofH (there are a lot of them). If you do not like online mode of instruction, then there are other universities in the Houston area that have similar tuition rates with acceptable facilities.
