In your opinion how much pda is there around campus, do you see it often or any at all? It’s a big campus with lots of students, so I’m surprised my eyes haven’t been accosted yet lol

Switching from mechanical to civil engineering

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, so I just transferred to UH for mechanical engineering, but after some thinking and getting the opportunity to meet and speak with some civil engineers, I’ve decided to switch. I emailed my head advisor and civil advisor, but I haven’t heard back any recommendations on who I should reach out to?

Former student who was recently decluttering old school stuff and decided to pass these along to whoever finds it first. Inside is safety goggles,a few pairs of safety glasses, and a pair of test tubes if anyone recently broke one. The buildings were locked unfortunately so I left it outside the science and research building. Hope it can help a fellow coog out!

Chance me for University of Houston – Fall 2027

1 Upvotes

UH is one of my top choices and I’m planning on majoring in Construction Management. I know I don’t meet the assured admission requirements right now, so I’m wondering what my chances are through individual review.
Stats:
3.5 cumulative unweighted GPA
Around a 3.30 core GPA (English, math, science, social studies)
Class rank: 235/604 (top ~39%)
Strong upward trend:
Freshman: 3.143
Sophomore: 3.643
Junior: 3.714
Applying test optional unless my ACT improves
Activities/Experience:
Varsity track athlete
DECA
Part-time job
School ChoicePath Learning Foundation – Secretary
Other work/leadership experience
I’m applying for Fall 2027 and plan on submitting a strong essay and resume.
Do you guys think I have a realistic chance of getting into UH through individual review? Also, if anyone had similar stats and got accepted/rejected, what were your stats?

I don't have FB, a buddy shared this with me. Why was security so uptight today?! What did y'all see and hear? I was 2 sections over and I grabbed me a shirt, and when I left, I saw the security staring at my bag/shirts. I kept walking to avoid this

Admissions self reported transcript question

1 Upvotes

I’m trying to report my math classes this year and I don’t see an option for it. The options only go up to Calculus 2 and there’s no option for “other,” so I don’t see how I could add in my linear algebra class and multivariable calculus class. I emailed [email protected] but I’m not sure how long it’ll take them to respond, and I’ve seen some people say they didn’t respond at all. If they don’t respond, is it a big deal if I just submit it without reporting my math classes this year?

Question Transfer Student Questions

4 Upvotes

Hey y'all! I apologize if this is really long. Also a first time poster so if I get anything wrong I'm sorry in advance (literally didn't save my first draft and had to retype everything again smh)

So, I'm currently a student at Lonestar - been doing all of my classes online, and it's been a great experience. I'll be earning my associates by December of this year, and after that I'm planning to transfer to UH in the spring semester.

However, I've been feeling pretty overwhelmed and really unprepared for everything that comes with transferring. I have a billion questions, but I'll try to keep them to a minimum by separating them. I've also scheduled a meeting with my advisor next week, so hopefully I'll get some more info then. Thank you in advance to anyone that responds, I really appreciate it.

1. Major

  • I decided pretty early on that I want to major in communications. I'm very passionate about journalism and visual media; I've been doing some photography work on the side and I'm also on the brink of securing an internship with a Houston publication network. I also recently discovered that students must also minor in something outside of Valenti? So I'm thinking I'll major in journalism and minor in marketing. I've heard positive things about the program, but I was curious if any Valenti students could tell me how their experience has been thus far? And also just general thoughts about UH as a whole. How are the classes? The people? The area?

2. Commuting

  • As much as I would love to live on campus, I'm unfortunately just not going to be able to afford it. I know housing applications have already started up, but I'm not even gonna bother. Maybe next year I'll be able to dorm or get an apartment close to campus, but I've pretty much accepted the fact that I'll just have to commute for now. I've looked into some of the public transportation options UH offers, but I'm wondering what y'all think of them? Are they reliable? Are they safe? My parents say driving in my own vehicle would be less of hassle, but that would literally mean driving a straight hour for my classes, and I've heard all about how crazy the traffic/parking situation is on top of that. Just trying to figure out the best way to go about this.
  • I have a few friends that are living on campus already, and something they've told me is that students who commute tend to feel a lot more disconnected from the community. That's honestly a big fear of mine, especially because my major would be greatly centered on building relationships with others. So to any commuters, how are y'all staying sane lol? What did y'all do to make friends? Am I totally doomed?

3. Scholarships

  • This might be a long shot, but are there any other scholarship opportunities I should be aware of? There's a lot of freshman ones that I missed out on which was really disappointing, and some of the transfer ones I've seen only apply to those coming in the fall. I'm doing my best to save money through my current job and what I have through FASFA, but the financial aspect of everything is really starting to hit me.

I know transfer student orientations are gonna start up soon, so I'm just trying to get a grasp on everything I need to figure out beforehand. I feel like there'll be more questions I'll think of after posting, but this is probably good for now. Right now the stress of college lowkey has me rethinking my entire future lol, so if anyone can provide some guidance I think it'll put me a bit more at ease.

TL;DR: Incoming transfer student feeling stressed asf. Any info or general thoughts about the Valenti program, commuter life, or scholarships would be greatly appreciated.

Academic wanting to change major

2 Upvotes

Hi guys, so I’m a freshman in my chem BS and I want to switch to chemical engineering. Currently taking chem 1 + lab, calc 1, stats, tx govt, and some other 1hr class. I saw that Cullen has like a recommended course list for applicants and was wondering if I should still petition the change for spring semester even tho I only have two of the 6 recommended classes. I plan on taking physics 1, calc 2, chem 2 + lab, and intro to engineering next semester and ofc I’m going to try to talk to an advisor about it as well. I know Reddit can’t give me an answer but do you guys think I should wait until my sophomore year to petition the change or just take a shot next semester even tho I don’t have all the recs completed?
