20 Best Absn Programs In Houston, TX (2022 Updated)

This heartfelt review is difficult for me because I actually attended Alvin junior high and Alvin high school off and on throughout my 12 years. I love this town. I was happy to attend this college for that precise reason. However, there were many many obstacles I went through to get my degree here. Frequently, I had to wait my opportunity cost between a poorly taught class, and a class dedicated towards my profession. This should not be happening. Two things caused this. Professors who do not calculate the time required to perform homework and assignments out of class Is one. The second cause were professors who should not be teaching at all. They are either rude, careless Or have some type of issue within their person. Every semester I had a professor like this even after referencing rate my professor. Eventually because of this college hiring so many professors with personal issues it eventually cost me my accumulative science and math GPA to fall under. Consequently, I would not qualify to enter into university science or math department. Every semester on student loans, I worked 10 hours a day for seven days a week for two years. There should have been no reason why my grades were affected. However, how a professor teaches is one of those things that an individual has absolutely no control over. Because of the poor department management and analysis of teaching from professors by administrative, I will no longer be able to pursue the group degree I intended on pursuing. As a compromise, I had to apply for graduation for a general studies associates to leave this college peacefully, and it not destroy my loan approval or potential to graduate in four years. Best degree plans for this college are governments, English, etc. Stay at another community college for science and math because these departments are seriously on organized and not monitored.Shauna Herrera

Keep Alvin Beautiful greeted at the Alvin City Fall cleanup. Texas Pride and others showed up 2 collect all kinds of trash and recycle. Really impressed with everybody that I got to work with as they had a great attitude and even though most were new to the event they jumped in and made things work well. Really proud of everybody who participated and made this a great event and keeping our city sparkling Update: the EMS and police cadet departments pulled together to do a huge exercise for the training of their students. Using the building abandoned building across the street they staged a mass shooter that the police cadets had to take out and then they pulled in the EMS students to help pick up and treat all the wounded. Was a terrific activity and professionally done. Very fun to participate in as a victim. Update: we had the spring Alvin clean up and had the best participation ever. 151 people brought all kinds of trash, metal recycle, electronics, batteries, paper shredding, and green waste to be recycled. Had a super day. Thanks to Hugh and the others at Texas Pride for another terrific jobAdam Burkey

Great place to take classes. My son takes classes here in the summer to transfer to his 4 year university. He has enjoyed all of his professors. I like the school because they have a great enrollment process. They've got a waiting area and they call you up by name and clearly post your name on monitors. I only give 4 stars because of their police department. If you pull through a parking space-ticket. They watch every vehicle and the slightest parking lot infraction can bring a quick ticket. They're using it as a money generator. You've got to read their police handout. A lot of rules are in place that aren't posted and a visitor can quickly find themselves ticketed. We've switched to College of the Mainland and we've been happier.David Carlisle

I feel as if most of the reviews given do not do justice to the University itself and to the incoming freshman's coming straight from high school. I chose to go to this particular university because my family engraved this stigma against large universities. "Smaller classes" are better because you will get a more personable experience with your professor. Also, growing up in a Catholic household, this was the ideal school for me. I was also drawn into the University for many other reasons. 1. I was drawn to the nursing program because it stated that all "incoming freshman's with 3.5 GPA's will have automatic admittance into the nursing program". 2. The scholarship I received in the mail blew my mind. However, little did I know that it would still cost me an arm and a leg to pay for me staying there. 3. The location because it is in the most beautiful part of Houston. 4. The friendly faces and helpful staff. I will never forget any of the professor's I have taken because they really are the most kindest people you'll ever meet. (most of them at least). I spent one year at UST and I can honestly tell you that I have gained some and lost some. I have gained great communication skills, great study skills, few great friends, and student debt. On the other hand, I lost one year of college, thirty thousand dollars, and valuable knowledge I could have further expanded instead of taking philosophy and theology requirements. I enrolled to UST intending to graduate with a nursing degree. I thought I gained automatic admittance due to my 3.5+ GPA in highschool. However, that was not the case because you must apply to UST first as a student, then apply into the nursing school at the end of the year (which is really competitive because there are only 40 slots and 100-200 students applying?). If I were to have known that I would have just gone to UTA where they do live up to that statement of automatic admittance with a certain GPA requirement. So I basically spent a year paying for graduate school when all I needed were pre-reqs that I could have taken at HCC. I remember signing up for ONE summer statistics class and the price totaled to $4,000+. People at UH spend $4,000-5,000 in ONE SEMESTER with 12 credits. Also, to all the feminist's out there, they pay male professor's more than female professors (for doing the same job). And that does not undermine the fact that the professors make less than the average salary while the president of the university makes more than the average university president salary? hm. With the tuition exceeding $30,000+ a year, it comes to show where the money goes to since you cannot see it on the campus. The library is out dated, the buildings are outdated, however the church is beautiful. I guess a really good thing UST does is how they offer amazing scholarships to veterans and police officers who serve. Another disappointment is the lack of student/campus life. This school seems to be more fitting for older students, not younger incoming freshman. There are not many active clubs or events like you would see at UTSA, UH, or any public college. It somewhat makes you lose the "college experience". However, they do offer retreats and study abroad opportunities. It is really inclusive to Catholicism, however it comes to no surprise as this is a catholic university. If you are financially well off, with money to spare for 6 extra classes (18 credits total) and smaller class sizes then this is the place for you. If you get admitted for free due to financial aid, then even better. Do not attend this school if you are an incoming freshman looking to experience college to the max. This university won't give you the opportunity to explore what you want, instead it will decide for you. And smaller class sizes will not make you pass, it is up to you to take that initiative. No matter how big or small the university is, it is your initiative that makes you succeed. All in all, it is an average school, just isn't the one for me.delol mko

Nursing program uses art to help students proses trauma. The University of St. Thomas is a comprehensive university that prepares students for the complexities of the contemporary world. As Minnesota’s largest private university, with approx. 10,000 students from 50 states and 63 countries, St. Thomas has metropolitan campuses in St. Paul, Minneapolis and Rome. The university offers more than 100 undergraduate majors with opportunities for cross-disciplinary coursework in the liberal arts, and 60 graduate degree programs, including engineering, business and law. Broad offerings are paired with a low student-faculty ratio of 14 to one, allowing each student to enjoy personal attention from professors and opportunities to collaborate in student-faculty research. In addition, faculty, not teaching assistants, teaches one hundred percent of classes. The university’s partnerships with Fortune 500 companies and its 105,000 alumni connect students to internships – completed by nearly two-thirds of undergraduates. Ninety-five percent of students are employed or enrolled in graduate schools within nine months of graduation. Rooted in the Catholic intellectual tradition, students are taught to think critically, act wisely and work skillfully to advance the common good. Students contribute nearly 45,000 hours to nonprofits, and more than half of undergraduate students study abroad, expanding their perspectives inside and outside the classroom. Campus life means getting involved. St. Thomas athletic teams have won at least one conference team championships in 22 of 23 sports in which it has fielded teams, won 14 NCAA team championships in eight sports, and have 84 recognized Academic All-Americans. Students widely participate in academic and recreational clubs, and can live in learning communities with students who share their affinities. Known for a contagious school spirit, they cheer on their teams and proudly wear purple on “Tommie Tuesdays.”William Tx

The Cameron School of Business is great for anyone looking for a good quality MBA program in Houston for working professionals. They are AACSB accredited, which was one of my deciding factors in going to school here. Less than 5% off all business schools in the world are AACSB accredited according to their website. The staff is friendly, some of the classrooms could use updating, and the computer labs need a bit of an upgrade. The campus is really nice and was designed by Philip Johnson the famous architect. Overall the programs are good especially for working professionals. However, some of the finance, accounting, and other quantitative courses should be more challenging and require more Calculus, Diff Eq. more advanced statistics, etc. to improve the quality of the overall program.Tom Dantario

Update: Post Graduation Changed rating from 5 to a 3. Research professor reviews before taking any classes. I had always done this religiously except for my last class. Huge, huge mistake. Two of 14 classmates dropped the class and several others complained to no avail. She was rated 1 out of 5 on Rate my Professor and that was generous. Reviews seemed consistent as her being labeled as awful. I would describe her as a nutjob. Unfortunately being tenured, her unprofessional conduct goes unchecked and Lonestar absolutely did nothing about the massive complaints. Best solution is to get the word out so no one takes her classes. Again, read reviews. I have found them reliable and they will save you from having a bad professor or having a nightmare like this one. I was planning on continuing my education at Lonestar but the experience I had with this one professor and the lack of action by the college has made me reconsider my plans. Until this class, I was a straight A student and I am absolutely convinced that this professor is triggered by students that do not profess the same ideology she espoused. Call it what it is. Discrimination and bigotry. Beautiful, well maintained campus. Started at 15 as a homeschool dual credit student. Exemplary service from advisors to finance. Had zero problems. Professors were engaging and subject matter experts as good or better than those at top tier universities. Class size is small so you get one on one attention. Remember you get out of the experience what you put in.Grey Dove Gardens

This place doesn’t answer the phone, and when they do they don’t give you helpful information. Incoming freshman who don’t understand or need some help understanding how everything works, don’t attend here. They are no help and randomly drop you out of classes. When you call nobody answers and they don’t get back to you even when you mark it as urgent. Continuing on my review of this horrible college.. first few weeks of school and they don’t have working wifi or enough books for all of the students. Need to log into D2L while using campus wifi? Forget about it. Need a book for class during these first few weeks? Too bad. They don’t have any, and you will just have to wait until next week. I mean seriously? What are the students here paying for?Lauren

My son had difficulties in establishing his Texas residency status. We had made three trips to the admissions office but never resolved it. Apparently the fact that my son is a US citizen was overlooked. Thankfully after meeting Ms Flores we were able to resolve the issue in under 30 minutes. Ms Flores was very attentive and helped my son every step of the way. Thank you for the good customer service.Razol Mahari

My teen had an appointment under DR Saba Memon. She practices cookie cutter medicine. I feel like she is following a checklist. She told me what my child is diagnosed with, and she will only start treatment if I jump through hoops, and make more appointments. I left feeling like she does not care at all about my child. I came for help and she refused. She discounts what the parents say and think. She is very dismissive and the other doctors disagreed with her. She did not take what they said into consideration. UT health should do something about her. I asked to speak to her supervisor and she inferred that she has no boss and her word is final. She told me he has ADHD, and I can provide documentation from his PCP and his therapist. I would like to know how to file a formal complaint. This level of care is unacceptable. Please call or email me the contact to make a complaint.Justin Ware

I was seen at the neurology clinic at the University of Texas Health Science Center when I was considered a candidate for neurosurgery. I had to have a few tests performed before the neuro-surgery to make sure I fit all the criteria and that the brain surgery wouldn't have a catastrophic effect on me. All the neurologists I worked with were excellent, supportive, thorough with the exams and explanations, and very nice to me and my family. I Would highly recommend to others, especially when it comes to epilepsy treatment.S-man Colly

Staffs are useless. I do not want to pay a penny to them. They just blame students for every jobs they are mandated to do. They do not work if you do not check. Do not believe them but keep chasing it. All administrative works need to be done by yourself. Do not ask them because they do not know. Rather, ask other students. They will never apologize for their inabilities. Make proofs to argue with them.Yunju Yang

I really enjoy the student life here and most of the staff here is friendly, but overall the lack of professors and class schedule availablity is very disturbing. Classes that are available during the day is very limited and a majority are only offered at night plus a good 3/4 of the classes are taught by the same professors. The STEM department is very underfunded, I feel that this college is missing out on a big opportunity since the general area around here is next up and coming medical center (League City, Webster, Clear Lake, etc.). These two have been a big issue that have come up a lot when talking to other students. Another drawback of this campus is that you cannot graduate on time due to the lack of open class availablity. Also, this university is not a friendly parent student, so if you are a student that has kids I would look elsewhere. Overall, I feel like this is a very underfunded univeristy that needs a lot of improvement and it is sad to say that the community colleges are better than this one.Ashley M

Went to help move my daughter into her dorm/room on Saturday 1/16/21 & evryone we saw were very helpful, questions were answered & its been just a couple of days but my daughter has had an amazing experience!!! Update: unfortunately after the freeze we had my daughter was asked to go to hotel or back home (which was fine with me) until they "fixed" the problems that occured due to weather, the unfortunate thing is that it's so expensive to live there & YES she had help with financial aid but they did NOT give any discount even though she wasn't there for a month, not fair but oh well it is what it is..just had to write down the experience as part of my review.Jessica Ramirez

This University is trash. They can't keep professors, but their tuition keeps going up. Don't expect any help from your advisor because they won't be in your field of work and have zero clue about your major. They are business people only. The STEM department has drama in it so they are a mess. Expect to be in a class of 50 in a tiny room using garbage computer programs that are always expensive or vague and then not be able to receive any help from anyone. Student Involvement and Leadership office is garbage. DO NOT COME HERE! I KNOW SOME PEOPLE MAY HAVE NO OTHER OPTION BUT YOU MUST FIND A WAY TO GET TO A GOOD UNIVESITY.Free Bird

I really enjoyed the MA program and I learned so much. Something that I really appreciated about the school is that we had ALL the resources we need for certification studying–and all of the professors are extremely knowledgeable about their fields and gave plenty of tips and tricks for how to maximize your potential in the field. The biggest reason I'm sticking to four stars is that I had a pretty bad experience with one of my professors and I don't agree with some of the attendance procedures–having no absences excused unless the school cancels classes isn't reflective of an individual student's situation (I know this first-hand), but all-in-all, it's a nine month program, and the amount you learn and experience completely outweighs the poor aspects.Kendall Eley

I can only speak about my experiences here at Pima but I can honestly say it’s been life changing for me. I’ve completed my Registered Dental assistant program and I’m currently half way through my Radiology program and all I can say is that I’ve had nothing but good instructors in both programs. They really push you towards succeeding and the classes are well developed for you to learn. The prices are a little over the top but seeing how it’s a institute it’s expected. Overall I’ve really appreciated everything Pima has done for me, I really recommend it to anybody who wants to kickstart their medical career!Isaac Razo

I am currently on the MA program, and it has been a pretty good experience. I am able to have time to study and also work and balance everything else with it. The team of this school is very professional and really care about their students, they are always willing to help you if you need help from them. I really like that they even have tutoring to help you if you struggling in a class. The career services team is an amazing team who works with you to find the right fit for you to do your externship, so you can be successful on this new path that you have chosen.Massiel Martinez

The financial aid department is horrible. The chat for financial aid never answered my questions. They always told me to call the number. What's the point of having chat feature if they can't answer questions. Speaking on the phone with the financial aid department was a horrible. I've been given the run around regarding aid. People kept telling me that I qualify all I need to do is enroll in another class to be part time. Then, I was told that again I would get a Pell grant and loans. I didn't receive aid so I contacted them a few weeks later to find out that I don't qualify for aid. They had me enrolling in courses and everything knowing that I potentially didn't qualify. The financial aid department is either incompetent or just doesn't care about the students. When I was told I was approved were they just making that up to just get me off the phone?Amanda Chandler

This is my first semester at Lone Star and it has been nothing but problems. The student staff are very rude and unhelpful. The front desk financial aid has no idea how to do her job. The book store and the campus are not on the same page. I won’t recommend going here if this is your first semester of college. It is extremely hard to get help from staff. I had to go speak to a counselor there and instead of them taking me to the back to discuss my business they came out to the waiting area and blurted out what I needed to know. In my opinion this was very unprofessional. I didn’t want my personal business being discussed in front of everyone. Please find students that are familiar with their job and are helpful. These students have no real knowledge of what they need to do.Chanel Diamond

My daughter went there 2015, 2016 & 2017 after graduating from Humble High in 2014. She wasn’t able to get a scholarship for tennis so the plan was to take courses to raise her gpa and transfer her credits to a four-year college. I’ve had a bachelors degree since 1992 so I know the process. The advisor didn’t want me in the office and my daughter was okay with that. I found out after a few semester that she took math three times and flunked it. Her self esteem is shattered and she doesn’t feel confident that she can transfer. They couldn’t even give the paperwork so I could report her on my taxes. I lost thousands in tax rebates, they are the WORST!!!!Bruce Hickerson

I'm currently having one of the worst experiences ever! I was completely unaware of being enrolled in online classes once the pandemic started. I never spoke with anyone or confirmed this was ok. I specifically chose on campus classes due my struggle with specific subjects. I was unaware until an instructor contacted me. I emailed advising and was removed from the class I was still charged and a hold was put on my account. I have never talked to or discussed classes with anyone for the fall and i am also scheduled and charged for those classes as well. Now i'm told i have to file an appeal to try to have the balance and the hold removed and i cant remove the fall classes until the balance is cleared. Every time I speak with anyone i'm forwarded to someone or a dept. that cant help or explain!Christi Chavis

While I'd love to give a better review, I have to be honest. If you are utilizing veteran services, prepare for a ridiculous amount of wait time. There's never anyone online via chat and when you call if someone answers, it becomes a series of transference to different people or "I'll have someone contact you." This poses an issue as a current student attempting to be successful in class. I've been dealing with this for a year now, so waring to Veterans with education benefits find a different school or be prepared to wait and get the runaround.Mr. Ford

I am finding it impossible to get a return address for a delivery I received containing 2 bottles of your CBD oil and 2 packets of the CBD gummy bears which was delivered to me by Hermes. I initially wanted to cancel the order but was informed that I could not. I did not realise the total price of these items and then my shock at finding out I was calling USA as I am in Scotland UK. Not only have I been charged over £150 Sterling but then I will be billed for the call to the US which was about 20minutes long. Please advisePat Macpherson

Dr.George was the best instructor ive ever had LET ME TELL YOU! i have never enjoyed school and never made above a B plus but after taking my first module with him i past all my first 3 classes with a perfect score of 100. His teaching style is amazing, he makes you feel like youre not alone, and he loves when u ask questions so if you're like me and hate asking questions he makes it so much easier its awesome. I really hope i run into you again one day because you were the absolute BEST instructor a student could ask for. Love You! -Hailey <3Hailey Wilke

My career service advisor was great! Ms. Alexandria Vela helped me tremendously on my job search. She was one of the people from the campus who have always been very helpful. She has always been very attentive with me and always checked in, during and after my externship, and now that I'm hired she has continued to check in. She helped me apply for jobs and even walk me through interview questions. Eventually I did get hired and I cant thank her enough!estefania castillo

May I express, I was worried about joining this institution, I hadn’t been in school for a while but when I first visited everybody made me feel so welcome with a constant smile on their face, I felt encouraged and wanting to be in class. Dr. Navarro is very knowledgeable and she sure makes sure we’re updated with our work. I really recommend for you to visit CHCP institution, don’t just take my word for what I just experienced.Browneyes

Thank you Leena Ma'am for being there for me, guiding me the way to get NCLEX RN.I am so happy and Thankful to Almighty God and Leena Ma'am. Leena Ma'am is a Wonderful Teacher, her teaching style is unique She is putting knowledge in your brain not only for passed NCLEX but for being best and knowledgeable RN and the way she is molding you as a good human being. Leena Ma'am gave me so much inspiration to thrive my confidence and the ability to write this exam. Throughout our NCLEX- Rn course ,Leena Ma'am help us in so many things to tackle this intense exam. All credits go to my God and Leena Ma'am for standing with me and giving me support and confidence not to give up and the write this exam. As a student ,I would highly recommend EDWIN HEALTHCARE INSTITUTE for LPN & those who are struggling to pass NCLEX RN. Leena Ma'am is a lifesaver ,she gives her full potential to her students to pass this exam and stands with her students in their studies. Thanks again Leena Ma'am for making me to pass this exam. I was attending class with my child and struggling and you are so kind of me. Whatever I wrote that's not enough for her because she is SUPER BLESSED TEACHER.ANJUMOL C RAJI

I recently passed NCLEX RN .I attended Leena mam's 6 week online RN review class.It was very helpful and I'm sure it is just because of this class and by God's grace I passed RN. Leena mam is very unique teacher and her way of teaching is entirely different .She explained difficult contents like a story which help to remember forever.There is no notes and we can use the resource which is available with us as study material.She taught the real content ,so that we can answer the questions in a better way.Moreover, she used to clear our doubts at any time. Not only the theory, she also taught us how a human should be in life .If we study in the way she taught and do what she told, we never fail in NCLEX exam.I strongly recommend Leena mam's class to those who are struggling to pass NCLEX RN.Thank you soo much mam for helping me to attain my dream Jasmine C Jose

Edwin healthcare institute is one of the best place for all the nurses who are willing to pursue their Nclex Rn .I thank the Lord Almighty for showing me the right place to achieve my dream . Leena Mam is the best teacher who inculcates knowledge to her students with all her 100% .Unique style of teaching nd imparting knowledge was very beneficial . Leena Mam actions, words ,expressions has definitely helped a lot during exam time. I would definitely suggest to all those nurse who are struggling to clear their Nclex Rn exam to attend Edwin nclex classes to achieve success.These classes are not only useful but also informative nd knowledgeable throughout r life . Thank you Mam once again for all the support nd guidance received throughout the classes.Siji Wilson

I started attending Texas Heath School about two months ago and my experience has been great since the day I walked in the door. My first day walking into the school I was immediately greeted by the smiling face of Mrs. York. She was very attentive and took the time to answer any questions that I had about the LVN program. If she didn't know the answer she took the time to find someone who did. She made sure that I had all of the resources needed for TEAS testing and even told me who had books on sale. A month later she followed up to see if I still had interest in the program and even allowed me to contact her personally if I had any questions. She was VERY helpful with the process and was always there to answer questions. Up until this day she still checks up on me to see how classes are going and she is very encouraging! Her energy can light up a room and you can tell that she genuinely cares. People like her are hard to come by. As far as I'm concerned the world could use more people like Mrs. York.Shanquail Williams

I regret I even have to give 1 star. The ONLY good thing about this school was the teacher I had. Ms. Brinkley was wonderful and very good at teaching us everything we needed to know to pass the class. Thank you Ms. Brinkley! As for the administration the tuition double the price as other schools around the area. A joke of private school. Limited supplies for clinicals! COVID vaccines all across the class still didn’t get to do in person clinicals but they sure charged us for it! Rip off when I go back to school for nursing I will definitely look at different colleges! This class definitely got the short end of the stick!Tracy Kay

This school is trash. The instructors are trash and expect you to already know the information. The owners care nothing about the students passing and only about making money. The Director of Nursing is the biggest piece of trash as she has an air of superiority and an inflated ego and most certainly plays favorites. I would highly recommend that you attend a nursing school that also doesnt charge veterans for room, board and transportation when they are in fact not providing those services to any of the students. Over priced and just trash as a whole.Amber Gibson

I don’t know who answers calls here but they are the RUDEST individuals I’ve ever talked to. I was simply talking about the requirements for an accelerated program since I graduated with my bachelors in Biology but realized I wanted to do nursing. They proceed to cut me off about wanting my SAT score. I took the SAT 10 years ago and when I explained this to them, I was told I was dumb for not taking it??? And I was rudely hung up on bc I didn’t remember my SAT score from 10 years ago! I am 28 years old… And when I ask to be called back or left a message, it was NEVER returned and I was left to the argue with the lady on the phone who just refuses to listen. Someone needs to remove her. Horrible service.Maria Hernandez

Great university to take classes that is close to home. I am currently enrolled in a few classes that work with my work schedule. The professors are awesome, helpful, and seem like the genuinely care about us. One of my favorite things about this school is the small classroom size so I am able to interact and have a better learning environment.Andrew Alvey

Giving parking tickets 🎟 $25.00 just to pay tuition for my daughter. She's not even going to UH She's going to wcjc. People are rude and don't even want to be bothered by you. Oh you can appeal it but it's useless . You are just paying for pizza day for the employees.April Williams

Update- Issue was corrected. This review is not necessarily targeting the Katy location per say but UHV in general. Good luck with getting financial aid. Financial aid is literally the worse department and really making me despise this school. I have been awarded 3 times and they keep taking it back, right when class is about to start after I've paid over 4K for classes they took back the measly $600 they gave me in financial aid on the eve of class starting. Now I have to go find $700 right before fall class begin or I risk getting dropped from my classes. After I'm done with my fall classes I'm transferring out. I've had ENOUGH of incompetence!!! I'll go where I'm appreciated. BTW I am a first time university student after transferring from HCC, HCC customer service and competency puts this whole school to SHAME . Students do not WASTE your time !! RUNCJ Xavier

I agree with the comment regarding Veterans. If you are a Veteran you should seriously stay away from this school. A degree from here is more useless than the paper it is printed on. On another note. They turn a blind eye to cheating. Even when substantial evidence indicates someone has been cheating, they will ignore it in favor of keeping their graduation rate high. I sent in a full report regarding individuals cheating and it was completely ignored.Baba Yaga

This new satellite campus is very welcoming and professional! Everyone that is associated with this campus seems kind and friendly. The security in the front is very kind and polite as well, so don't be afraid to ask her a question. The environment is so vibing! I would take classes here if I was you. Very nice small campus with 3 levels, would definitely come and see the programs they offer!Christian Martinez

Awesome program. I entered as “an older than average” student having completed a B.S. & a masters degree and this was a very challenging curriculum. Youwill be busy with labs and clinicals to keep you from your books, so time management and finding a group to review is very important for study. I’d recommend the success series books and reviews and rationales books to study. Also, look back at study guides other older classes have developed on Facebook. Know you are in the best nursing schools in town and one of the best, if not the best, in TX. I got a job as soon as I got my nursing license after graduating. You can get a job before that as well, a number of graduates do! Good luck and be ready to hit the ground running. IT IS ALL WORTH IT IN THE END DO SACRIFICE WHAT YOU NEED TO SUCCEED.BearHouston

My daughter has applied 4 times. Passed everything with good scores. She even has hospital experience and doctors references. Still no explanations why she keeps getting denied. She asks and no one ever responds. Coming from a family of nurses. Her mom BSN of 18 yrs, her two cousins graduates from here. She scored better than them. She’s an exemplary employee at her hospital and has numerous doctors reference letters. And still can’t get an answer as to why you don’t get accepted. How are you supposed to know what you need? If you’re missing something? She has everything. Truly unacceptable from such a school that’s supposed to have high accreditations.rodstowing

I am not sure what happened in the case of the denied student who felt it was because of being black they were denied but if anything it may even help your chances. UT is a wonderful school with some of the sweetest and most knowledgeable professors I have ever met. They genuinely care about their students and if you reach out for help they're very quick to respond and help you the best they can. I love my professors and this school ! UTH pride!Nykia Bradley

COM was the first college I attended. If I can offer a young person who may have some financial challenges some advice it would be to attend a community college first. COM has some great certificate and degree plans especially their nursing and chemical processing. A lot of times you may be able to get a scholarship or grant. Please don't take out a lot of student loans like I did unless you really need to do so. For some people just needing to relax, go walk the track and check out the ducks! It's a fun way to take your mind off things, get some exercise & fresh air and won't cost you a dime.eyquionette latin

Took a lot of classes at College of the Mainland through the beginning of my college career. They have some good basic and introduction classes, and have a lot of certifications you can earn. They work with high school students in collegiate program, which allows high school students to take intro level college classes. I would definitely recommend doing this if you are a high school student. This will give you a big advantage coming out of high school, and allows you to possibly graduate high school with an associate’s degree.Brad Pourchot

This is the Best Junior College in the World. I went here for two years. I had a student job at the Library while I attended C.O.M. All my bosses at the Library are people of Character. Tillie Henson is the Greatest boss. If you attend this College you can transfer to a four year University. You can get a "good job." You can make a lot of money. You can live wherever you want. My Parents paid for my tuition. You can get a scholarship if you choose. There are people who can help you get them who work at C.O.M.Rodney Kimble

UH's Pearland campus is awesome- it's super small and compact so you don't have to walk far for your classes at all. The buildings are always very clean and the staff is always helpful if you're lost.Bryce Corbett

Great campus so far, it is being built and its hard to see from the road. The staff here is not very helpful and kind of rude if you are a student from another college.Andrew McGee

It’s very clean inside and out. Parking is cheaper than other schools. Not many people inside which is good in a way because there are lots of places to sit and study.Vigasan Gunasegaran

I can’t express how races this place is going to be took phlebotomy class twice and they don’t pass me on both time even though I was passing the class i was getting 75 I am regret paying then my hard earned money. I don’t like that school at all Even though I I know the material Cause I took this class before but the teacher gave me lower grade on final because we have only 2 boys that’s teacher fault and they only need girls to do the phlebotomy which is very unfair situation I feel so depressed and don’t want to take any classes after that. I need to get this thing to be notice and fix this matter as soon as possible thanks.Shehri Bhai

Wouldn’t reccomend the “typical” student study here. Now if you’re a single mom who works full time and has a disability DEFININITLY CHOOSE SOMEWHERE ELSE!!! They’re happy to take your money and lie about a course being self paced. Not to mention those “catch up” classes that YOU have to pay for where you can’t enroll in any other classes until you do. Why are y’all charging for a 12 week course on studying? Why do y’all wanna tell me I need TEN CREDIT HOURS of math before taking a BUISNESS class. Already looking into transferring less than a month into classes. Y’all suckGinger Byte

I have taken a few classes here and for the most part they have all gone pretty well. The classes aren’t too expensive and they normally have pretty small amount of students in each class (based on the classes I’ve been in). All of the professors I’ve had have been really knowledgeable on the class topics and have good methods of teaching. If you are finishing high school and looking to go into college this is a good place to start with. They also offer a lot of different certifications and degrees for anyone wanting to go back to school.Brad Pourchot

I was there in the 70s. I graduated with a Bachelor's of Science in Social Rehabilitation and Social Services…. I was told when I first tried to enter that I should go and do hair since I could probably make more money anyway, by one of the Deans of the school… I graduated 4th in my high school, in Houston Texas, out of 100, with a Cosmetology License, also. Long story short, I tried to get a part-time job, on the work study program, in the beauty shop there on campus. I was not hired, even though there were no Black beauticians in the shop. On the other hand it was the Greatest four years of my life… I am an evangelist now and a published Author of "All of the Words Spoken by the Women of the Bible" published in 2017, with approximately 20 to 30 first cousins who have graduated since from SHSU along with the a great- niece. God is really good! (Dean of the school suggested I work in a beauty shop and make money in lieu of going to college) …Glender Sublet

I loved SHSU while I was there. I never truly once had a “bad” professor. All of them were caring and helpful towards me and wanted to see students succeed. Great faculty. There are ample amounts of free resources that the school has to offer students, but unfortunately many students don’t utilize them or are unaware of the resources they have access to as a student. I’m glad I chose SHSU. I enjoyed it while I was there, but I’m glad I got out of there when I did only because the town started growing like crazy and the streets have no room to expand. I personally like the small town/historical feel SHSU and Huntsville had when I was a freshman (before all the construction). My favorite part of campus will always be the Austin Hall area. Not a fan of the new, “modern” buildings going up everywhere, but hey, it’s great the university is becoming so successful like it is.Daphne Swiateck

Wow! Sam Houston State University really is a classic small-town University. Huntsville has done amazing things to insure a great college atmosphere has been preserved. A walkable and beautiful downtown creates a great backdrop for college life. The new president, Dr. White is a great champion for the University, The Arts and small town culture!John Smither

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 that you must double check everything administrative while attending. Financial aid? They will mess something up unless you check on them and follow up often. Registration? Random class drops. Cashier? Random holds on your account. Student employees are particularly clueless when it comes to asking them important questions. Why are student employees in financial aid providing factually incorrect answers? A wrong answer can cost someone thousands, or tens of thousands. Despite that I enjoyed my years here and would recommend UHD to anyone looking for a degree who will put in extra work to make it as valuable as possible.Jonathan Martin

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 are mostly good about returning your calls. I am a fully online student and it is very simple to get what I need completed. My only complaint is that when attempting to speak with my advisor in the CJ department it is next to impossible to get ​Mrs. Esparza on the phone or to answer an email. We even had a set appointment for a phone call and she couldn't even call on time, she waited 15 minutes to closing to decide to call me back… I work which is why I go fully online when I take time off I expect my appointment to happen not be blown off by a person who takes a two hour lunch every day at work.Alejandrea B

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 transfer advisors turned me off when she said, "we really don't care about your Associates Degree." I realize they are a four-year University but there are some jobs that want a minimum Associates Degree so even if they "don't care" it still makes a difference to some employers. That said, their Business Program is highly accredited so I will probably end up going there anyway – if I can take most of my courses online since it is also VERY easy to get lost in the maze of wings and hallways of their buildings.Sharita Piazza
