My great grandson is a senior this year in Pearland TX - and has received invitation from LSU to tour the campus and consult with them - along with several other universities.

He is there now touring the campus.

Don't think he'll end up there tho - his dad is a UH grad and he received invitation from them also. Plus they all live close to UH.

Just glad he was interested enough to take the tour of LSU.

Isn't UH mostly a commute school?

What's he going to major in? Unless things have changed, UH is an excellent engineering school. And generally a very good university all around.

Historically (last century) was commuter school, now tied at 4th w/ Tech in TX, behind UTx, A&M, & TX State for beds on campus.

We are all biased LSU fans here but personally i dont think its a must to come here. Student parking is freaking terrible. An undergraduate degree you get out of it what you put into it. Whether its u houston, LSU, or purdue. But if he starts pulling against LSU thats a bad sign

UH is one of the few schools that has "surrounding area" issues like LSU.

You can accomplish anything you want in life going to LSU. It’s a matter of hard work and choosing the right field of study.

Rice University is about 3.6 miles east-southeast of the University of Houston.

Rice was playing Uof Houston on a Thursday Night. I was friends with a number of coaches on the staff at Rice. From Rice they had a bus drop us off at the old stadium, got us in a suite. That night Bum’s son Wade came back for an award presentation. We were in the same suite with him. Guess it was 2013, cause the new stadium was built the following year.

This right here! (In addition to selecting the optimum location outside Louisiana after you graduate for job opportunities)

You can always drive or fly in for big games to want to see in person!

My daughter graduated from Uof H. Very dangerous area and thieves everywhere. The only reason she went there was because of Athletic Trainer's Scholarship. Couldn't get away from the area fast enough.
