If you're looking for an affordable and flexible college option in Texas, I've had a solid…read moreexperience with Lone Star College-North Harris. The campus has a welcoming environment, and most of the professors genuinely care about helping students succeed. Class sizes are manageable, which makes it easier to get one-on-one support when needed. The course options are pretty diverse, whether you're planning to transfer to a university or go straight into a career path. I also appreciate the resources available--tutoring centers, advising, and student services are actually useful if you take advantage of them. Like any school, it has its downsides--some administrative processes can be a bit slow, and parking can get crowded during peak hours--but overall, it's a great place to start your college journey without overwhelming debt. Definitely a good choice if you're motivated and looking to build a strong foundation.

I am in their Nonprofit Finance Certificate Program and it is magnificent despite it being the first time they offer it.

They are also very friendly as far as providing quality (and yummy!) food for breakfast, lunches and receptions.

I'm taking beginning French classes here this semester. The classes are definitely expensive - they…read morewere $420 for an eight week session. There are 2 classes each week, each an hour and a half. In addition to the price of the course, on the first day you will also be given a list of books/materials that are needed. In my case, I only needed to buy one book, which ended up being around $100 on Amazon for the loose-leaf version. That actually wasn't too bad for a textbook. I'm currently on the 3rd week of classes, and despite the hefty price tag, I don't regret it. So far we have already covered basic introductions, taking leave, adjectives for describing people, classroom objects, colours, and very basic grammar. Further, because of the constant classes, I definitely feel like it builds a great fun and supportive group. One of my classmates brought in French books he had found and gifted one to each of us, and we've discussed watching French movies and getting together to work on homework. All in all, this is a bucket-list item for me coming true. The class is located at the Anderson-Clarke building at Rice. With the price of tuition, they give you a free parking pass which is really nice. Unfortunately, this is located quite far from where I generally work, so since the classes take place during traffic hours on week days I end up running late to every class. Lastly, one potential negative is that a vast majority of whether one would succeed in this class will rely on the student practicing outside of class since it is actually quite fast paced. Madame Larsen focuses a lot on pronunciation, and requests that students record the classes in order to facilitate further practice. All in all, I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is either able to get their company to sponsor foreign language classes, or has the time/money to spare on a lifelong skill.

How do you write a review about a University? I switched from Community College to UHD to complete…read moremy bachelor's degree in business. After my first semester, I was accepted into the Marilyn Davies College of Business. The facilities are adequate and I have visited multiple times for visiting a guidance counselor, meeting students for assignments and taking finals. However, my classes have all been online. I would say that the coursework is adequate. The books assigned are quality books and the online lab-work is appropriate; however, I have been very disappointed in the quality of the faculty and professors. On each assignment or notice or email provided by a professor, I have found grammatical and spelling mistakes. You would expect that emails going out to the entire student body would be proof-read, but on multiple instances I have had to shake my head at the blatant errors. It feels demoralizing to be graded by professors who are reported to have Ph.D.s who cannot complete sentences without error. UHD also uses a lead professor teaching model in which a professor with a doctorate is responsible for teaching multiple courses with the help of another professor who is basically the secretary to the lead professor. Frankly, I am not really a fan yet, or at least not in the way I have seen it implemented. I am seriously considering changing schools, but have found the location of their facilities to be very convenient for me since I work downtown.

As many as you know I am a student of the South campus, but I take some classes at Central. I will…read morehave to say as I do love South; Central bets it all because: Students here actually talk to you, and are sociable than the students at South. It is fairly easy to find friends here because people here are a lot more open. They make the college experience enjoyable, instead of feeling like you are just going to school for an education and that's it. You can find some life-long friends here because everyone doesn't have a high school friend that follow you around--people actually want to find different people who share the same interests as you. The professors here are a lot better than South (I'm not saying South doesn't have good professors) I've taken many classes here that ratemyprofessor.com reviews were greater. The student center is actually revolved around the students and their needs. They have a huge cafeteria that serves fast food and homemade food. The bookstore is Barnes and Noble and Starbucks--usually they have textbooks that South or North campus doesn't have. There's a certain area with lounge chairs, and a huge flat screen tv specifically for relaxing and getting your mind off of your classes. They have a lot more clubs here that fits any interest you may have. The gym is huge and has a mildew smell to it--I don't know maybe because it its an old building or so. They have recreational sports where you can meet new people and revolved around having fun. Also, cardio and weight rooms for exercise This campus has so many resources that South doesn't have. It is because this was the first campus built because this is the Main campus.

At this point, I honestly question how many of the positive reviews are from actual students, because my experience has been the complete opposite. I wanted to support an HBCU aviation program, but this kind of administration gives the school a terrible reputation. It makes prospective students feel like they are not a priority.

However, I wouldn't say it's every Houstonians choice, there are still a lot of locals that go elsewhere, such as my sex goddess who went Ivy League, and her sister who went to Austin and so on. The old campus leaves something to be desired, so does traffic. The new downtown campus is amazing. The school is doing well in the rankings although outside Houston it's not really viewed as a big, prestigious school at all. Still a great school though. The sports teams are better than ever, the basketball team might be one of the best in the country.

Updating the reviews since there's only one currently…read more Hi, I'm a student at HAIS and I'd like to tell you all of the pros and cons this school has to offer. Because not every school is perfect, but it's best to be honest about it. ~Pros~ -- study abroad options SO MANY TO CHOOSE FROM! Also many programs such as CIEE, DiscoverU, and EY. -- early college high school Getting your associates while doing high school can benefit you in so many ways, and lots of universities and colleges accept the college credit that you earned. HAIS offers both Associates of Art and Associates of Science. If you're lucky enough, you can graduate with your bachelors early because you already did so much work for your associates! -- Lots of classes to take! HAIS has a wide range of classes with the basics of math, science, history, and english. HAIS provides: English I-IV & Business English (Juniors only) AP History Classes (APHuG, APWH, & APUSH) AP-PreAP Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Science Research (Seniors Only) Algebra 1 & 2 + College Algebra, Geometry, AP & Regular Calculus, Economics Graphic Design, Mobile App Development, AP Computer Science, Principles of Government, Political Science 1 & 2, P.E. (with the best teacher ever, Mr. Puente) Chinese 1-4 & Spanish These are only some of the classes that HAIS provides, not including HCC ones. -- Multicultural School We host lots of events celebrating the wide range of ethnicities at HAIS. We celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, Chinese New Year, and Black History Month. Because of COVID-19 we haven't been able to do an exchange student program but we plan to in the near -- Friday Clubs At HAIS we have something called Friday Clubs. These are student led clubs run by some Juniors for sophomores and freshman to join. You apply to one at the beginning of the school year, and that will be your designated club that you go to every Friday for an hour. Your club sponsors will be teachers, so you must ask quickly before one of them get reserved! -- Sports Recently sports has exploded at HAIS. We specialize in volleyball, soccer, cheerleading, dance, and basketball at the moment. Our boys and girls teams are absolutely killing it this season! And we can't wait to see more wins. (follow HAIS on their Twitter and Instagram for the most updates) ~Cons~ -- Small school HAIS usually consists of about 500 students. About 150 freshman will be admitted each year. -- Limited teachers Since the school is so small, we only have about 2-3 of each teacher that teach each subject, but they are spectacular. If you ever need help always go to their tutorials! Very informative. -- Limited funding The impact of COVID-19 has severely affected our funding for field trip events and more, so we ask that you donate to our HAIS PTO that helps the school host more events such as Homecoming.
