UMHB is an acceptable school You are likelyEnglish
UMHB is an acceptable school You are likely to get out of it as much as you put into it. It is expensive, but there are others that are more so. Generally, while I was there, the social life was relaxed, and more up to you than up to the CAB. The faculty was so-so. There are a lot of classes taught by only one person and there are some teachers that can be downright vindictive, but I would not consider that unique. It does tend to have just enough Christian flavor to make you feel like it might be a very spiritual campus. If that bothers you, don't go there. They are not going to change. In terms of authentic spirituality, it is about like any other "christian college". Don't expect it to be really distinctive. If you want a small school experience, this is it, but don't be fooled into thinking it is some sort of exclusive experience you can only get there.

Question
I like this school.Quite BrightNursing
I like this school... At least... I did. It's pretty and the students are nice and genuine, for the most part. There are a few brillian professors but the campus is too small to have any assortment. For almost all the classes with the exception of freshman level courses, there is only oneprofessor that offers the class at one time. So moat of your grade is getting along with the professor. While all u overworked have a few bad apples, UMHB has more than most. I'm almost done with my third year and I've probably had two great professors, three okay ki da blah, and 12 or 13 miserably dull, arrogant, unhelpful, rude professors (some combination of those words). A lot of professors make it impossible to get As so it's hard to transfer. And the u iveraity likes this- you lose your scholarship faster. Tution has gone up four to five thousand dollars a year since I started here. My scholarship hasn't gone up at all.

Question
Amazingly I chose this university because it seemedBrightEducation
Amazingly I chose this university because it seemed friendly and was a "Christian" university. After having been here almost three years now I can truly say that the administration of this university only cares about money. I have been involved in several university sponsored activities and been a part of student government for two years now so I have had the opportunity or displeasure to see the countless kinds of double-standards that happen here. "Christian" is just a word they use in the marketing department to make parents and prospective students think they will be in that kind of environment. Truth is that the university is run by a bunch of good ole white boys who mostly graduated from the university themselves and just moved up the ranks by firing everyone who didn't agree with them. The university is loaded with faculty and administrators who are not even academically qualified. As a rule, the university operates with "don't ask, don't tell" policy which explains why there are several gay people who work at this university and have direct contact with students daily. Not that I have a problem with their sexual preference but I wonder how many of the students and their parents would have chosen this university if they knew that information. This is just one of the many double standards that occur at UMHB all the time. In essence if you want to spend a lot of money, get a poor education, be criticized and judged for everything and probably be unemployed when you leave then this is the university for you.
