University of Houston-Victoria

"Good luck with getting financial aid. Financial aid is literally the worse department and really making me despise this school. 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 . Update- Issue was rectified"

"Don't go to this online school - it's a fraud. Two years ago I started to take classes at this school for a MBA in entrepreneurship. After one day of taking classes, I dropped the program because the learning was all reading - no video lectures, interaction with the professors - nada. Three months later, I get a bill for $2,200. The school cites a statute as reasons to collect the money, but when you read the statute, it's about the refund process, not collections. As such, this school is trying to collect the money from me. I completed my online MBA at Oklahoma State University and it is an awesome program. Don't wast your time or money at UHV."

"I used to love this school. I decided to get my BBA from here and after doing so in 2018 I decided to go back for my MBA. Today would have been graduation day. It’s sad that this school did NOTHING to support the graduates of 2020. I understand COVID and how dangerous it is. However, there should have been an accommodation of some sort to show the graduates of 2020 your appreciation. Whether it had been a slide show on the school website, or a virtual graduation showing the graduates photos on television. It’s a shame after all the hard work that we’ve done, no one cares. They feel that it is okay to send us programs AFTER graduation day. I definitely will not recommend this school to anyone I know, just for the simple fact that I myself have to show my friends and family my accomplishment since the school failed to make us feel appreciated!!"

"Disappointed with the students, dorms, food, professors, classes, and campus. They made it seem so great when I was applying, but after applying it was almost impossible to get financial aid to tell me what they needed from me document wise. I did not enjoy my online classes as the professors had a tendency to be rude. Students weren’t very friendly either. Victoria is a nice town too, but there isn’t much to do and it’s kind of boring after the first week. I would give it zero stars if I could."

"**This is from my online experience NOT in person** Overall my experience here wasn't the best, but it wasn't as horrible as I had experienced with the previous university. For the MOST PART the professors I had were good, but they were either good professors or they were HORRIBLE, there was no in between. The reason I'm giving this three stars is because I'm having to drop out because I don't have 2 accounting classes, which means I have to be a transient at a different college for 1-2 semesters and pay out of pocket (which I can't do) all because of TWO classes. The reason is because they don't offer lower level classes here at all, but especially online where it's even more limited. I work full time so I can't attend school in person. But when I entered the Human Resources Management (HRM) program I was told that it was available fully online and that I would be able to complete the degree with all the classes I already had. This was a lie, which I find out when I only have 2 semesters left before I graduate. Now, I'm having to drop with only 2 semesters (nearly one year) left all because I was lied to about the program at the beginning before I applied. Everyone here (meaning financial aid, admin. people, etc.) were very nice, but they lied just to get me into the school. Overall, don't attend here unless you have every last one of your lower level classes completed or you'll end up like me over 2 accounting classes that you can't complete. Very frustrating."
