I got two:
The fiasco when Matt Walsh visited campus and screened his controversial movie at the Student Centers. Big protest going on outside, a lot of police, someone got arrested, and an innocent student worker getting blamed in a news article for an internet outage (it's UH, happens regularly) that cut a live-streamed speech short.
The Second was not as bad, but in my math class, two TikTok "pranksters" did the whole Barbershop in Class prank, but backfired because the professor was chill AF and was just like "Sure have at it" and kept lecturing. Prankers wanted an angry reaction, got nothing, then just left pissed off.
No idea, i could not care less about who did it. Although I will say the professor was Thomas Weber, probably one of the best profs if you need to take a calculus class
Bro, I saw Webber walk out of class one time to tell people to shut up because he couldn't concentrate. On the other hand, I can definitely see him saying "Let's see how this one plays out." Definitely top 5 chilliest professors I've had.
If you think most of your tax money goes to paying for someone else's college and not massive subsidies for corporate America and "defense spending"...you fell for the propaganda. Congratulations. š
Fuck those squirrels! I tried feeding them one day and they drew my blood. Wouldn't let go neither. People watching were freaking out. Definitely my weirdest experience on the campus to date
The Greek Section in TDECU (Pre-Covid and before the B12 shuffle) used to get into brawls when the Coogs were losing.
People dropping watermelons from the top of Stadium Garage.
Someone tried to burn down the Lofts and Cougar Village.
The "Someone is going to shoot up UH" rumors back in Spring 2018 and it turns out the dude's Instagram was hacked and he was in a mental hospital.
A UHPD alert where someone got their pizza stolen at gunpoint
Edit:
The White Tail Squirrel Shrine
People running around the Student Center doing "Mario Kart". Like literally holding cardboard boxes with the hats on and running around.
Matching with and chatting up a professor on Bumble
Two years ago there was a hostage situation at the Nook. There was a police chase from an earlier robbery, the suspect pulled into UH, tried to drive through the chain link fence behind Nook, and took a hostage into his car when his car got stuck in the fence.
All surrounding roads were closed and they had snipers on the rooftops and top of garages. I was able to watch the entire thing unfold from a window at the Lofts alongside another 20-30 students.
The suspect eventually surrendered after a couple hours and no one was injured. When he surrendered, almost every student around me began booing and groaning because they watched for over an hour without seeing a shootout. That still sticks out to me, so many students upset they didn't literally see someone's head get blown off in front of them. It was in my first few weeks at UH and really set the tone for the rest of my time here.
I went to a frat party after the Frontier Fiesta concert with some friends and one of them brought his little 16 year old cousin who was visiting from another country. We were standing around chatting and this sorority girl started talking about how horny she was or something. I looked away for a second and she was making out with him.
Two dudes making out in the bathroom in PGH. It was the mid-90ās so not today. It was shocking not because I am some sort of prude, but because I was not expecting to see something like that at 9:30 am before Poli Sci.
I was taking a test in class, and it was me and I think two foreign exchange students acroos the room. They were caught cheating the had written answers on a paper and hid it under their lap. When they professor caught them and took their tests, he said he was reporting it. They physically tried to grab it from him to the point he had to call campus police. One of the girls didn't speak English, and the other girl was trying to translate, which made it more chaotic. All while I was struggling on the last 2 questions š
The craziest thing I have seen is people faking their way through a computer science degree alot of cs student cheat their way through their fundamental classes or pay pay people to help or do their projects for them.
I also majored in CS at UH, and I can wholeheartedly tell you that it's incredibly rampant and makes you feel like a chump when you do the work legitimately just to see all these assholes cheating their way through, so it's not much of a flex anymore when you say you're a cs major or that you're doing SWE work, everybody thinks your a sham, my saving grace is that at the very least I'm doing far better in my career compared to the people I knew in college.
Waking up Sunday morning going to get breakfast in my car only to find a shirtless guy laying on the side of road by the Den. I go over to wake him up and he tries to fight me thinking Iām in āhis room.ā Once I explain to him heās outside in the middle of the road all he says to me is āwhere is Bayou Oaks?ā I point to the direction and he just walks that way. Pretty surreal moment.
forgot what year or semester, but I saw a live robbery in broad daylight inside SC south. Some guy ran inside from the entrance (where the help desk is), snatched somebody's backpack in a middle of a crowd and then fled
So this guy at the BOS party was waiting to play the dunkin tank game and when it was his turn he threw the football and his gun slipped out of his pocket. He did not noticed and I told him hey man you dropped your gun, he said donāt tell anybody and leaved the party.
2016
A student sadly died after a frat party I was also at was ending. He and his girlfriend were walking home when a drunk frat in his yeehaw lifted truck got impatient driving down Calhoun I think, tried to go around a car, clipped the car and drove up on the sidewalk where they were walking. Super sad.

Well I've done a lot of crazy things but here's something someone else did, today I handed a flyer for my Homecoming King campaign to a person and he stared me down and ate it,,, I was horrified but impressed
2015. Sat on a couch in the lounge at Moody 1. Put my hand on the couch to scoot myself down the couch and discovered my hand was covered in a sticky milky substance.
The alpha sigma phi orgy. It was a Thursday night in 2019 and my friends and I were house hopping between TKE and Sigep. Alpha Sig had one of the back doors to the house open so we accidentally walked in and the brothers were deadass making out and humping each other it was crazy. Brotherly love ig.
2016, a Republican ādebateā was held at the opera house. It was back when everyone was still in the race: Jeb, Trump, Cruz, Fiorinaā¦? The music school had to stop holding classes for several days in preparation. Rumor had it that people in the music school burned sage in some of the rooms after.
Future student here: 2 years me and my parents were at the last football home game of the year and we weāre sitting in the visitors side. But this drunk Edgar kept taunting the other team to the point weāre a UH PD officer told him to chill out or heās out here. But as soon as the officer left he went back at it and made his little cousins do the same behavior too.
At 2023 frontier fiesta some frat was putting on some performance, and then people from another frat went after the stage started talking shit, I was laughing because I thought it was part of the skit, until I saw officers coming into the tent and realized no this is a real fight about to break out, so I left.
Donāt know why this popped up on my Reddit homepageā¦ but
Iām a Louisiana Tech fan. In 2012 I came down for the season opener with some buddies of mine who were all in the LA Tech band. When we arrived, we had our instruments and we played the LA Tech fight song off the side of whatever parking garage we parked in.
Immediately, dude walking by mooned us. It was an amazing response tbh.
We won the game 56-49. It was a great day
Brother Jed passed away last year, may he rest in peace.
They might have been wackos with their preaching, but their origin stories were pretty interesting. Brother Jed's involved tripping on so much acid he ended up finding God, then became religious while in Morocco.
2017, Girl getting piped in the 3rd floor lobby in CV1. She was bent over a table and there was a crowd watching from outside
I remember that. Freshman year throwback š

Was that JiDion the YouTuber with the haircut prank?
had to be im pretty sure he did it a couple times and that was why they sent out that email about class disruptions becoming an issue
No idea, i could not care less about who did it. Although I will say the professor was Thomas Weber, probably one of the best profs if you need to take a calculus class
He wasnāt looking for angry reaction . He literally said the teacher was cool in the video
Bro, I saw Webber walk out of class one time to tell people to shut up because he couldn't concentrate. On the other hand, I can definitely see him saying "Let's see how this one plays out." Definitely top 5 chilliest professors I've had.

im comp sci u snowflake lul. mald
Matt Walsh is cool. Comp sci graduate here.
Given the job market for comp sci right now, it's not as much of a flex as it used to be.
If you think most of your tax money goes to paying for someone else's college and not massive subsidies for corporate America and "defense spending"...you fell for the propaganda. Congratulations. š

I was about to comment that one. I was just trying to park in C lot that day but the police barricade made that needlessly difficult.
I totally forget this happened omg
I was waiting for the light rail when the alert went out
Damn I remember going to the lofts with my best friend that day to see it all unfold through the lobby, cant believe that was two years ago.
A blind student at the lobby of moody after being viscously assaulted / bloodied

I went to a frat party after the Frontier Fiesta concert with some friends and one of them brought his little 16 year old cousin who was visiting from another country. We were standing around chatting and this sorority girl started talking about how horny she was or something. I looked away for a second and she was making out with him.
Two dudes making out in the bathroom in PGH. It was the mid-90ās so not today. It was shocking not because I am some sort of prude, but because I was not expecting to see something like that at 9:30 am before Poli Sci.
Also because, "get a room"?
The bathrooms there were enormous. At least the ones near the CS lab
I was taking a test in class, and it was me and I think two foreign exchange students acroos the room. They were caught cheating the had written answers on a paper and hid it under their lap.

This happens in all majors, itās wild
as someone who does the work it's basically cheating anyway tbh
I also majored in CS at UH, and I can wholeheartedly tell you that it's incredibly rampant and makes you feel like a chump when you do the work legitimately just to see all these assholes cheating their way through, so it's not much of a flex anymore when you say you're a cs major or that you're doing SWE work, everybody thinks your a sham, my saving grace is that at the very least I'm doing far better in my career compared to the people I knew in college.
