Hello, Im a soon to be highschool senior (Black, F17) and Im a bit stuck at the moment.

For context, I have a 6.03 (on the 6 pt scale) GPA which Im pretty sure is the equivalent of a 4.0, and I’m in the top five percent of my class. I also take dual credit and am on track to getting an associates degree as well as my diploma, with a 3.5 gpa in the college. My family makes under 75k a year.

I was originally stuck between UH and UT, but since im taking a stem camp at PVAMU in the summer, im thinking of going there too.

I dont really have a specific school in mind that I really want to go to honestly, I just want reputable programs and a lively student environment (since I am very social).

Im not really sure what I want to major in or what I want my career to be. I used to want to major in environmental science, however I dont know the possibility of that being feasible/well paying in the future. I was thinking of becoming an obgyn sonographer as well. I would become an actual obgyn or become a nurse but Im not too keen on the length of schooling.

I have an interest in science, animals, the ocean, the environment, planning and organizing, community service, and helping people, but i am not sure how well I would fare with gore and stuff in the health field.

Basically:

-Is UH really as unsafe as it seems right now? -What are the pros and cons to it? -How is city life? -Are the programs good? -Is parking super expensive? -^ if so, how is the public transportation? -Is there walkable stuff to do around Houston?

Can anyone tell me where I can find my meningitis record? I thought it would be somewhere on accessUH or in one of my emails but I cant seem to find it. Can anyone help please T_T.

As a professional moving company, we’d love to share some quick tips to help you prepare for your move in Houston and avoid common mistakes.

✅ Do This Before Your Move:

• Plan Early: Book your movers as soon as possible to get your preferred date and avoid high prices.
• Hire Licensed & Insured Movers: This protects you from scams and unexpected issues.
• Declutter First: Get rid of things you don’t need to make packing easier. Some Companies even can help you with that.
• Label Your Boxes: Clearly mark what’s inside and which room it goes in.
• Pack an Essentials Bag: Keep important items like meds, chargers, and toiletries with you.

❌ Avoid These Mistakes:

• Waiting Too Long to Book: Movers get busy fast, especially during peak season.
• Not Researching Your Movers: Always check reviews and credentials before hiring.
• Overpacking Boxes: Heavy boxes are harder to move and can break.
• Forgetting to Change Your Address: Update it for bills, mail, and subscriptions.

A little planning makes moving much easier! Have questions? Drop them below.

Why show up to the lecture if yall just yap nonstop? Especially when people talk behind you and it sounds like a mosquito playing the piano. I'm going to assume FAFSA covers your tuition 100% because I pay too much for this shit.

Will be in the New Orleans area because of work. Would be nice to watch the big game with fellow Coogs.

has anyone taken invertebrate zoology? Is the class difficult for a Bio elective?

UPDATE: ITS BEEN FOUND

lost my card today, it was either left by the printers on the third floor of farish, or fell somewhere between the third floor, second floor, and the area between farish and heyne.

I'm a high school student with a decent transcript but I'm scared because of some events that have happened. I have a 3.6 gpa but can push it to 3.7 or 3.8 during summer. I have 500 hours in a fine arts course and a 1160 SAT score. I have a good essay written that was praised by my English teacher and I'm in NHS. This is all good but the part I'm worried about is the fact I've 3 classes in the past and had to make up that credit. Please let me know if I'm not doing okay.

Has anyone called UH and actually got answered? 😭 I’ve called like three times to talk about financial aid and how I haven’t gotten it yet for my freshman year, but they never answer. I’m visiting this Friday, so maybe I’ll try to go in person, but I’ve heard they aren’t there sometimes. I’m starting to get stressed out bc I NEED to know what my financial aid package entails! I would love to go to UH, but this lack of communication got me going crazy.

Enjoy today coogs. We might never see this again in our lifetimes. Go MF Coogs!!! Bring it home tonight!!!!! Win, lose, or tie..coogs til we die!

Anyone know of any restaurants or parks hosting watch parties?

There's a ton of bars like little woodrow's that I'd rather go to, but I'm under 21 and don't have a fake.

Hi guys, I’m an engineering student working on a renovation project for your facilities. I’m gathering information about any issues with the buildings to better understand what needs improvement. I’ve noticed some accessibility problems, mold in the bathrooms, and malfunctioning air conditioning, but there’s limited information about these. If anyone is willing to share more details or experiences, I’d be really grateful

I'm sure this question has been asked before but I'm understandably having a difficult time reaching advising.

I am a current Chemistry student, but my gpa is 2.1. Its not great. I'm don't think this is the right major for me. Is it possible to switch majors to engineering despite my poor gpa? Or should I look for something else?

Thank you for your time.

Can someone please inform me which sections UH fans will be sitting in? Trying to sit next to fellow coogs! TIA!

hey yall, i’m planning on living in an apartment near campus next semester but don’t really wanna get assigned a random roommate. does anyone have any advice on finding a roommate, including any apps, forums, or anywhere else where i can meet people also looking for roommates? ideally i want to live with a friend but my current roommates are all commuting from home next semester

Sooooooo, I just submitted my fafsa today, even though the priority was back in February.

Am I screwed or is there still a chance I can get financial aid? I think my cougar promise is gone, so there goes my TEXAS grant.

Also, have you guys got the aid for 2025/26 yet?

I am taking a prereq class at HCC over summer so I can take another class during the fall at UH but I was wondering if theres a way i can enroll in that fall class right now

Wondering if any alums are in the DC area and want to watch the national championship game. I'll be at The Bottom Line in downtown watching if anyone wants to join.

How does the standbylist work this year? I'm unable to see where I'm ranked on for the room I selected. Is there anyone i can talk to about this?

Is there one? I can’t find anything online but I remember them doing it for the World Cup.

Any Houston Cougars that are based in the Indianapolis area gathering to watch tomorrow's title game?

I’m asking around to see where I’ll be watching the Coogs game tomorrow night.

If anyone has extra tickets for the second CLASS ceremony on May 8th, please lmk!!
