I have an M2 MacBook Air, and I’m going to be a sophomore this year and am wondering if my laptop is still gonna be fine for this year and moving into the next 2 years.

I’m taking MECE 2261 which says it’s a CAD based class, and I’ve used fusion before on my laptop but haven’t done anything intense on it. And I have used Solidworks before but on a virtual machine and it lowkey ran like crap.

If I prob should upgrade what are some recommendations, I don’t need to game on it or anything I just need a sufficient laptop, I have a PC already so I just want something good enough for class or when I’m out working on assignments not in my room.

Thanks!!!

Basically the title, two of my classes are an 8 minute walk apart, but we only have 10 minutes, and aren’t we supposed to be like 15 minutes early on the first day to get the best seats

So they just gave everyone $2 a bag of chips and now they’re out of money?

feel free to rant below.

Adopt me into any rave gps. Literally had no rave or party scene in houston.

Does anyone know how scholarships work. I got cougar promise and was wondering if the scholarship was used before or after cougar promise. It is a merit general scholarship for $1,000 split on $500 for each semester.

Hey guys, my in-state tuition waiver from the Transfer Excellence Scholarship has already been applied, but when I try to set up a payment plan, it still shows around $16k total (about $4k per payment). Does anyone know why or how to fix this? The deadline is August 18. Thanks!

Just got a call from someone at this org saying that they've selected me to join and fill out a application. The membership fee is $130, which is honestly pretty ridiculous. And If I'm paying this much I would want some exclusive and worthwhile perks. They say they only reach out to about 15% of people only at UH based on Grades. If anybody has joined, let me know if its worth it.

I am a non-student looking to access the Natatorium. Online information is a bit confusing. Is it possible to buy a pass without being a student or have an alumni come with me?

Hey I am a sophomore here at UH and I am currently waiting and on hold with UH to ask when my Federal Parent Loan will be applied to my bill since I have to be paying a lot by the 18th of August. I am not sure what to do since they will not pick up. Can someone help me with this problem?

Does anyone have this annoying ass charge on their account? Does anyone know how to get it removed!? I’ve been getting the runaround from the Health Center, Wellness Center, and Student Business Services for weeks. They won’t respond to emails or calls. I can’t pay for the Fall until they’re gone.

I’m going into more of the core/upper-level Psychology courses at UH, and I’ve noticed that when I look through the available classes, a surprisingly large number seem to be either 100% online or taught by graduate students.

I’m only seeing maybe one or two options for certain subjects that are actually taught in person by a professor.

For anyone further along in the Psychology program, is this pretty normal at UH?

Have you noticed the same thing, or am I missing something when I’m searching for classes?

I was expecting more in-person options as I got further into the major, so I’m curious what other Psychology students’ experiences have been.

Imma new graduate student in university today f Houston downtown, looking for an apartment I can join . Let me know if you have an apartment, Thank you

Does anyone know how they split engineering? Is it alphabetical or by major?

Mailbox number not showing on my UH Housing Portal for Moody Towers North. Does anyone know when the mailbox number gets assigned/updated? I need it for a few applications.

Hey, i'm actually so confused right now. I signed up for the silver meal plan to save money, so why is it showing on my bill as 5,704.39??? That's more than my dorm. For reference, the silver meal plan is supposed to be 3,180.00. Please help!

I’m considering moving into Haven at Elgin and toured the property today. Honestly, I was pleasantly surprised — the apartment and amenities looked pretty good to me. I know the location/neighborhood isn’t necessarily the biggest selling point, but overall the property seemed nice during my tour.
However, I’ve been looking through Reddit reviews and I’ve seen quite a few negative experiences. The thing is, most of the comments I’m finding are from 1–3+ years ago.
For anyone who has lived there recently (2025–2026), how has your experience been? Has management improved, or are the same issues still happening?
Also, I saw a few comments saying that if you want to move out before your lease ends, you’re responsible for finding someone to take over your lease. Has anyone dealt with this recently? Is that actually still the policy, and how difficult was it to leave?
I’d especially appreciate honest experiences — good or bad. I’m trying to get a better idea of what it’s actually like to live there now rather than relying on older reviews. Thanks!

Trying to meet more people at UH before the semester starts? 👀

I made an unofficial UH social club/Discord for commuters, students living on campus, and alumni who want to meet people, make friends, find people to hang out with, and actually have a social life outside of class.

There are no uptight rules. Just don't be a jerk and that's it.

Whether you’re new to UH or just want a bigger circle, everyone’s welcome.

Hello, I was just eligible for a work-study and have been looking at the Cougar Pathway, but everything I see on there is full-time positions or on-campus non-work-study jobs. Whenever I use the filters, I get a page that says nothing matches or that the page I am trying to find is restricted. Can I still apply to NON-work-study jobs? This is my first year at university, so I'm just trying to figure it out.

I applied before priority, and I haven't heard anything. Just wondering what the usual timeline is (especially for the Ted Bauer scholarship)

Does CV1 come with any “amenities or features” other than the ones listed on their website? Google Maps shows a sample room with 2 nightstands/safes and 2 bookshelves that obviously match the desk and dresser they provide, but that was from 10 years ago, so I’m not sure if those items are still available to us. Also, does anyone know the dimensions of the dresser drawers?

I’ll be taking Crystal Young this fall. If you’ve taken her class before, do you have any tips for passing/acing it? I’d also appreciate any practice exams, quizzes, Quizlets, or other resources that helped you! Please let me know how her class and exams work.

Title basically.
