University of Houston Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Joshua

I would want to have known how to establish relationships with people, basically people skills. I want to be able to establish these relationships and create a network and have these people as resources later. If there is something that I can't do i can find someone to help me out. They could also help me find job opportunities that I would have never known of if I was to have never created this relationship with them.

Jessica

Yes because then I would not have come here and now I need a scholarship to be able to leave.

Jennifer

When I enrolled to the University of Houston in 2012, I did not know that minors were a requirement. That ment more time in school and more money. Also, online classes are very limited making it harder to spen less money on gas. While there are other UH branches close to me, I can only take 6 hours outside campus and only with administrative permission.

Amanda

I wish I had known the opportunities the school had offer to give before coming to this school. They never really emphasized on any of it, it was before they started changing there ways. If i would have known, I could have been more proud of UH

College is expensive, but UH allows you to transfer many credits from community colleges, and also accepts AP credits, along with credit by examinations. Try to get as many as your core classes out of the way while in high school or through other means; this way college tuition will be less expensive, and you will have more time to focus on your major classes.

Jorge

Before I came to this school, I wish I would've known how tough it would be, especially if you're in the engineering program. When I went to San Jacinto College, all of my classes were surprisingly easy and didn't have to study as much to do well on my exams. Now that I am attending the University of Houston I know that I have to study much more now than I did before in order to get an A on my exam. All this studying will definitely pay off once I graduate from college.

Sarah

I wish I had known about opportunities for involvement in groups/organizations related to my major. I have just begun working with Glass Mountain magazine and wish I could have had more time with them!

Sandy

One thing that I wish that I had know before coming to this school is how tiring commuting is .

Miranda

I wish I had known about the textbook situation. There is always a inexpensive way to afford text books.

Sherin

There is nothing I regret off while joining this college rather I am excited about it.
