I DONT FEEL LIKE THERE IS A STEREOTYPE FOR MY SCHOOL

The reason i chose to school at the University of Houston is because due to the research I'd done, it is a Tier One university. I always want the best in education especially for my intended career in the medical field. However, when I got admitted, I realized that I probably hadn't made the smartest decision. Yes, it is a Tier One college. Yes, the lecturers are awesome and always want to help you understand and pass their courses. But there is no definite guarantee for me that graduating from here with a degree in Biochemistry will get me a job or get me in an outstanding medical school. Let's face facts here. Employers of today are not entirely concerned if you attend a Tier One college or a community college. They want an employee with skills, experience and adequate training related to the job being offered. If it were in my power to change anything about my school, I probably would incorporate nursing programs into the school's curriculum. University of Houston isn't a very large school and by large i mean that it is not a big school where students have to commute from one lecture hall to another. It isn't a small school either where every department is in one building. Its perfect size is just that--Perfect. Irrespective of my uncertainty about getting a job when I graduate, I still love University of Houston. It's such a diverse place and this diversity eliminates or reduces to barest minimum any traces of racism, thereby creating a conducive environment for students to excel. When I'm not attending lectures, I hang out at the University Center. My first semester here, i quickly realized that I can't go missing if I can find my way back to the UC. To me, that is the center of the school because anything I want can be found there. Things like food, games, a nice quiet spot, a bowling alley, a bookstore, a bank and many others. The UC is a perfect hang-out spot. My overall opinion of University of Houston is that it is a perfect mix of everything a college should be. Fun and sound academics. It all depends on what you really want to do in college, what you want your future to be like and how much of fun and academics you feel is necessary to guarantee that future..

I have seen the usual stereotypes at my university of course there are jocks and geeks. In the University of Houston one of the great things about the school is it diverse so you see all walks of life. The people I hang out with, however, some are nerdy like they play pokemon and video games, and then there are "hipsters" the people who are just too cool and are trendsetters.

A common stereotype of UH students is that we are all bad drivers. The stereotype is semi-accurate. UH students have to be aggressive drivers in order to find parking and get to class on time.

Most people consider UH to be the rebound school as in where "stupid" people go when they are rejected from their 1st choice schools. But, UH is actually a very good school. I love my major and I believe that it would not be better anywhere else! I made friends in probably within one day of class, and my friends at UT even after a semester of school have made no friends. UH has the most friendly atmosphere, people come to UH from all over the place for that friendliness. Not only are the students friendly so are the teachers and staff! I added my Finite teacher on Facebook and he totally rocks! :)

we are very outgoing, sociable, friendly. If you were one of our classmate from the last semester, you would never miss a big smile and hi5 from us when we walk by each other at school. Moreover, we're very proud to study in a diversely ethnical environment. You would be able to befriended with someone who live half of this planet away from you and from countries that you've never heard of. But, we all get along together very well. We are very active volunteers! On the other side, we're nerdiees worm-book like too. Friends in the same class compete in a fair and motivating manner among each other to be on the top list. And much more, you would feel like we're your big families and big brothers and sisters over here.
