Sam Houston State University Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about Sam Houston State University? Why?

Brisha

There is one thing I can say that I really do not like about Sam Houston. The major problem we seem to have is not having bike-friendly trails. I was considering buying a bike before I came to Sam, but when I got here the campus was so small that I didn't need to. The only downside is the activities that are hosted usually block the route to all of my classes so that makes it difficult to travel on foot, so having a bike would make it ten times easier to move to and fro on campus.

The worst thing is the Bearkat Learning Program. I see no benefit for the students and the campionships between the dorm houses are slim to none. The coordinator shows favoritism between the students, which makes it difficult to talk to him/her over certain issues within the dorm houses.

Jana

It is a long drive from my house. I found it difficult to make it to classes on time because of the time slots that were offered and the long commute.

Velichka

Everyone goes home on the weekends and it makes it kind of boring to be here all alone.

Tamitha

It's very hard to get around without a car, and parking is a headache not to mention that parking stickers are continuing to go up.

Brian

The parking situation at Sam is horrible because students who live in the dorms are driving to class. But I don't know if those students can be completly to blame. There are sometimes plenty of spots to park (with reduced rate permits available) but they are "too far" for most. No matter the cause, it is still very difficult to go back and forth from campus and off campus lab locations during the day.

Norma

Perhaps just the location and the availability of the jobs on the south part of Houston, and trying to make it on time.

Hailee

The worst thing about Sam Houston is the hills! After traveling up one hill, there is another one waiting at the top. The largest hill sits right at the edge of campus where the most populated dorm area is, perfect for making that morning trek to your classes an amazing work-out!

Kim

The worst thing about my school is the financial aid. The counselors told me I was expected to receive nearly $8,000 in refunds back to me, but I only received $3,000. I am unable to pay rent and after paying my bills I am left with under $2,000 to last me until August. They are not understanding of my financial situation and would not give me the information I needed to help pay for my necessities.

I think that my school should offer more majors. They only have pre-pharmacy and pre-nursing, and that isn't very helpful to those who want those as their majors. Sam Houston is a good school, and a lot of people may one to come here, but get turned around because their complete major isn't offered. More than likely they would have to transfer schools to complete their major.
