UH, UT and A&M all have almost the exact same amount of students living on campus vs. off campus.
The problem with UH is that those living off campus live 30+ minutes away.
UT & A&M have just as many commuters as UH, the difference is that they live in off campus housing that’s in walking / bus distance.
UHD and UHCL are not feeder schools.
I just cant wait until the day UHCL pulls the trigger on a hoops program, so CKS has to schedule them like A&M does A&MCC
Maybe in the year 2050 haha
The old pro commuter, no traditional student dinosaurs on this board get triggered very easily.
Come to grips with it…the University of Houston is evolving for the better!
Those type of students can go elsewhere!
The University of Texas is our model.
A large diverse traditional public school in the middle of an urban city
Living on campus cost $250/ month in the early 2000s.
As I said, I was a commuter and I am for the traditional campus with freshman required to stay on campus. My three boys went to other schools for the traditional campus experience, and yes, fraternities.
Can you please explain to me your logic?
Both UH and UT have almost the exact same number of students living in campus vs. students commuting from off campus.
In fact, if I’m not mistaken, UH actually has more living on campus than UT
When I lived on campus in the 90’s, there were only two places to live, the Quadrangle and Moody Towers. Times have changed.
Yep. I see so many proud UH alums on FB bragging about sending their children to more traditional cilleges NOT named the University of Houston.
Just last week i saw two helping their children move into the dorms at Texas A&M and Mizzou.
Im guessing UH wasn’t even on their list
People here are close minded.
YES college is about academics but its also about so much more.
The Greek system teaches you life lessons you’d NEVER get in a classroom. …everything from events planning, to social etiquette, to leadership to managing budgets, to loyalty, etc
Im so glad i went Greek at UH and didn’t do the Commuter…leave the second my class ended tyoe of thing
I will say when i moved to Austin, and i saw the “off campus” housing you speak of, and i was like damn that looks like pure fun, living in a village of likeminded students. They have entire villages set up with restaurants, bars, and plenty of spots to kick it and hang out here
It literally nothing but UT students living in these neighborhoods, i.e. akin to the third ward
Their greek system and student organizations system dwarfs ours. The surrounding blocks around campus supports students staying on/near campus after class.
The difference is traditional students view their college days as the best of their lives…the period between teens and young adults.
Most of our alums ONLY see it as a place to get a degree which is sad because there are so many other benefits for that chapter of your life.
One that you return to the rest of your life!
So glad Khator GETS IT but its been an uphill battle fighting our dinosaur alums and politicians
Exactly!
A time that not only shapes the adult you’ll become but a network you’ll have for life.
WHY do we have so many alums fighting against this???
That’s the bigger question.
UT is very diverse so don’t give me the race card BS
Always sh!tting on UH alumni. What else is new.
Yes…our Alums are the ones holding us back and add insult to injury…they have no desire to send their now traditional student children to UH
Im well aware of the problems Dr Khator has faced over the last 20 years.
As far as school pride, I’d say 90% of UH alums have NO IDEA who we are playing this week.
Many don’t even know the season started.
Other schools…they’ve booked their trips for months
Put a Cream Burger on campus and bring back the China Star.
Seriously, though, can anyone give me one (1) example of a school that has ever made a transition from commuter to traditional
Loserville?
Holgerson and Applewhite are alumni?
