I really enjoyed my 3 years at the University of Houston. As a transfer student from community college, I had absoluteIy no idea what I was getting myself into when I transferred to a Tier One mega institution like UH. I was accepted to and graduated twice from the business school with a BBA and Master of Science in Accounting. I contribute most of my success to the fact that chose to major in a very difficult subject, and my participation in a professional program that helped me to grow my professional... Read More network immensely in a very short amount of time. Through the connections I made at my school, I was able to land an internship with one of the top companies in the world almost two years before I graduated. That internship turned into a full-time job offer, and as a result I have been able to finish my master's degree in peace without the added stress of recruiting and interviewing. I recommend that all students find out what type of work they are interested in by either working part-time or participating in paid/unpaid internships. The biggest differentiator between myself and someone who did not leave UH with as much success is the amount of personal growth I went through before/during/after enrolling. Four years of college goes by quickly, and often times it is not enough time to be exposed to everything we need to make us the type of employee/professional/person we want to be. The best way to minimize the chances of that happening to you is to get involved, step out of your comfort zone EARLY, and select a major/career field that allow you to chase your passions, or at least afford to when you have time! The accounting program at the University of Houston has done that for me, and I will be forever grateful.
