Big Picture
When I tell people I go to UH, they always ask a question regarding student life; people have the perception that UH has nothing to offer in regards to life on campus and regular college activities. When you go away to college you expect to live in a dorm, go to coffee houses until 1am, go to a wild frat party, LOVE your football team, and so much more. Do we have that at UH....well kinda, but not to the extent that we should. If we don't want to be viewed as a commuter college, then we can't be in the gray area. Build on activities like Frontier Fiesta, get the teachers involved and have them encourage student participation. UH Administration- the one thing I would change most about UH is the rude people that you have to deal with anytime you need to pay something, get something fixed, or have a question. You may hate your job because you have to deal with disgruntled college students all day, but we are a lot less disgruntled if we are dealing with a pleasant person! In my four years at UH, I have only spoken with 1 (yes ONE) friendly person who actually made me feel like she wanted to help me solve my problem. That is a horrible number. Something special about UH- we aren't a cookie cutter university. There is so much cultural diversity at UH that it is a people watchers dream. Students are welcome to be themselves, rather than being cultish like some other universities.
Academic Life
My favorite class- International Marketing with Professor Andrews. It is an online class, with streaming online lectures. Rather than having boring straight from the powerpoint lectures, she makes class interesting. I am more likely to "attend" one of her lectures than I am most of my regular on campus classes. She makes us think, and gives us real life examples.
