“Walking out of class and being able to hop on the light rail straight into Houston, how easy it is to land internships and meet people from every background, that the campus can feel like a maze and the traffic around campus wears you down, and that large‑lecture classes sometimes feel impersonal, yet the mix of city access and on‑campus events still makes it feel like a place pushing you toward real‑world readiness.”
