I haven't had too many issues here, I have enjoyed my classes and most of my professors actually care about teaching and respond to you when you ask them a question. I haven't had any issues with financial aid or being able to get anyone on the phone, just the usual call and leave a message but they...

The University of Houston Downtown is a fabulous, multi-cultural university offering undergraduate and graduate degrees for a wide range of business and professional interests. I'm been at UHD for 15 years and am proud of the system and the students who have come through my classrooms.

I graduated from here, but I will never recommend for anyone to come here. Parking is horrible/not safe There are homeless people everywhere especially...

I am currently enrolled for an MBA and every semester trying to talk to an advisor to get approved for courses is a nightmare. No one returns phone calls, email boxes are full, and so how exactly am I suppose to register? I have no idea, even their website is confusing and unorganized. The class...

I've studied philosophy and science at UHD, now I'm on my way to med school. The faculty here provides quality instruction. I love the library stacks, the facilities, and the academic life planted right in the middle of urban downtown Houston. There is so much to do and learn!

I just completed my 1st semester at UHD. The classes were small, professors actually taught and we get 15 minutes to walk to our next class instead of the normal 10 minutes. The only complaint I have is parking. If you don't get to school before 9:00am, you will have to park miles away.

I went to a big university before transferring to UHD and was worried that I wouldn't like it. Fortunately it has been a great experience, I've had some of the best professors and have learned a lot more than I expected to! Most of the classes I have taken have been small (20-30 students), which is ...

Great school. Friendly professors, small classes makes learning easy. Advising staff is rude and doesn't show any interest in success of students. Over all my experience has been wonderful so far. Parking might be an issue if you don't like walking.

A great university that is still growing and will soon be one of the top rated in the city and in the state. It has lower tuition fees than most universities and provides great class schedules that meets people's needs. I definitely recommend coming here as an alternative to UH main.

Went to their open house this past weekend. Parking was a mile away, construction and detours everywhere. I can't see myself taking a class on this campus at night and having to walk that far to my vehicle at 9:00 at night. The university Professors were, for the most part, friendly but one of the t...

Tasha from financial aid isn't very helpful, especially with the attitude she gives to people. I had to talk to her twice. She interrupted me in both of the conversations. Didn't let me speak, as she felt that she already knew what I was about to ask. If you're not happy with your job, please find s...

If I were able to I would rate this "University" 0 stars. Unfortunately, it is not due to the school's curriculum or teachers, it would be due to how former students are treated after they graduate or transfer. I am currently in the process of purchasing a home. After 4 years there, of course I owe ...

A good place to upgrade your academics knowledge. Great faculty and exceptional student services to accommodate you and your needs. Right on the north outskirts of downtown and right along the light rail to take you to and from wherever you may need to go.

My four years here were pretty good. Classes are small and (most) instructors do care. I do feel that students have to pick up more and more slack every year as they enter the workforce; just a degree isn't going to cut it (if you want a great job).

The biggest issue I had while attending UHD is ...

I am on my third degree at UHD. The staff is amazing and rigorous. If you actually apply yourself you won't be allowed to get away with less than your best. The advising is a bit sparse, being a commuter school and all, but the business program is accredited by AACSB, which not many colleges are. I ...
