not exactly since all Drs are trained in basic medicine and since being a police officer is a lot less specialized than being a specialized Dr.

only to those that have no clue....if different admission requirements, different degree requirements, and courses that do not count at one school or the other is the "same thing" then every university in the world is the same because they all are a university

I actually do expect the police to put a priority on many types of crime....but that does not mean I expect them to just ignore speeding...even in Houston and while I agree many criminals are often doing many stupid things in a car they usually are NOT doing them early in the morning during rush hour commutes

looks good very near my old stomping grounds

pull your head out of royces big butt you don't need to put a university in every last area of the state especially in south dallas when the dallas metro area already has UTD and UTA and UNT just north in Denton and TWU in Denton as well and at the time unt-dallas was started UTA was actually losing enrollemnt Texas has 33 or 34 universities not including any system centers or unt-dallas which has failed to meet enrollment projections and even failed to meet reduced enrollment projections for 5+ years making more universities when there are a number of small universities with plenty of available space and room to grow and still not be all that large is what is crazy....Lamar, Sul Ross, UT Tyler, TAMU Texarkana, Tarleton, Angelo State, Stephen F. Austin, TAMU Corpus, TAMU Kingsville, UTD, UHV, TAMU Commerce, TAMU International, West Texas A&M and others could all take several thousand if not more and still be smaller universities and some could take well over that and not be big....building more buildings and creating more administrative overhead is not the answer....give royces big pork filled butt a big kiss for me

it is not a part of UH now it is its own university....but it is currently and will remain a part of the UH System

this is impossible!!! according to this post Houston will soon dry up and blow away after all companies move to dallas and all airlines leave Houston for DFW http://forum.dallasmetropolis.com/showthread.php?t=5006 if you have time for a LOT of laughs read that thread especially the last few pages

the point was A. UT only gets something much less than 161.5 million a year probably more around 90 B. if you divide up the public part of the funds UTIMCO puts into the AUF (from the PUF) between all the universities in Texas it would be about 5 million a year more per school which for UH and Tech would be a 1% increase in budget and it would be at the expense of further underfunding UT Austin and TAMU College Station and PVAMU C. if you divide up the public part of the funds UTIMCO puts into the AUF (from the PUF) on a per student basis it would still probably be only a 2% increase in funding for Tech or UH and still at the expense of UT Austin and TAMU College Station and PVAMU D. The state senate and THECB and the university presidents have said it will take at least 70 million per year per school to elevate each school and that would be to the bare min of "tier 1" E. so UT Austin as a very large university getting something under 161.5 million to be well above average "tier 1" is not unfair at all unless people prefer "fair" to be Texas having a bunch of less than "tier 1" universities so they can all be mediocre together F. Texas has concerned themselves too much with trying to put a university in every fool like royce idiot west area instead of having top universities

I believe from the UHD standpoint there is something to gain.....most on this forum are educated well above the average first time college student and many were probably not first generation college students....and yet many on here have expressed that THEY were confused and others they interact with were confused by the association if a first generation college student applies to UH and barely misses being accepted I feel there is a good chance they will assume like many on this forum and elsewhere that UHD is exactly the same as UH and therefor they will assume they will not be able to go to UHD as well when UHD is exactly where they belong by making a distinction it will allow people (especially first gen students) to understand they need to apply to BOTH because they WILL be accepted to UHD even if declined at UH.....anyone that does not feel it is important to let first gen students know there are multiple opportunities out there for them (especially when many on here have told of their confusion) is crazy

they all suck Houston Metro was the one, but I vote for Gulf Coast State University Houston is not in South Texas and bidirectional is just like 20th said.....small time

well I reloaded XP last night from a fresh format of the HD and I am using Firefox 3.0.5 (I was actually using firefox before I just still call it mozilla) and I do not have noscript on here now the spell check does work in the regular reply now, but is seems if a post gets very long it will stop in the regular reply after a bit because I am pretty sure it did in one of my two wordy post of the day today.....(and in fact it stopped working now in this post the HAIF below in the membag line was the last thing it corrected in regular reply, but when I cut that reply out and pasted into the fast reply it corrected the noscript after HAIF and it started to correct all that I am now typing within these parenthesis when it was not correcting that in the regular reply) and memebag if you allow HAIF in noscript then the fast reply will function properly oh well seems all is good now as long as I keep it short thanks for the reply PS it will also correct all in "edit post mode" as well strange

wait until you see the reply in the UH tier 1 thread yes happy ltawacs

if you look at the UTIMCO website it list that they have 23 billion dollars in their management......part of that 23 billion represents the PUF funds and part of it represents the private endowment funds raised by UT Austin (about 3.5 billion) and part of it represents the private endowment funds of TAMU College Station (about 3 billion) and part of it represents the private endowments of all the UT and TAMU system schools, agencies, and medical schools.......the remainder of that 23 billion (after the private endowment funds of all the UT and TAMU system entities) is about 13 billion which represents the PUF funds....so UTIMCO has about 13 billion of PUF funds and 10 billion of private endowment funds......all of the 23 billion is managed on the basis that about 4.7% of the five year average is made available to the schools so it can grow with inflation and not take a massive hit in principle during down market times like now the private parts of those funds paid out yearly go directly to the individual university and more than likely the individual college, school, department, program, or scholarship that was specified when the donor made the donation the PUF part of those funds paid out yearly are placed into what is called the AUF....the Available University Fund.....from the AUF many but not all members of the UT System, the TAMU System, and their agencies and medical schools are able to have bonds paid off that cover very specific types of spending mainly related to bricks and mortar and some types of equipment......the part of that money that is left after the AUF covers those system school bond obligations is then made available to UT Austin, TAMU College Station, and PVAMU on a split that is defined by law....basically about 2/3rds to UT and 1/3 to TAMU College Station and PVAMU (most going to TAMU)....and these funds have a mandate to be used for "excellence" which means bricks and mortar, scholarships, faculty salaries, new faculty start up packages, a much broader range of equipment and other things that are still defined by law in the 2007 funding the PUF made just at 400 million available to the AUF.....then out of that AUF the system bond obligations were paid off for those specific projects (mainly buildings and specific equipment) of the participating UT and TAMU system schools and agencies (not all members of those systems participate in the PUF/AUF)......so out of 400 million there are a large number of UT schools, TAMU schools, UTand TAMU medical schools, The Engineering and Ag. research and extension services, the Forestry Service, and the Texas Transportation Institute that draw from that 400 million for those specific allowed bond obligations.....so then there is a lot less than 400 million left over to split by the previously mentioned 2/3-1/3 that goes to TAMU College Station, UT Austin, and PVAMU on the private side 4.7% of three billion is ~165,000,000 which is what UT Austin would receive for their specific campus from their PRIVATELY RAISED ENDOWMENT FUNDS.....UT Dallas has about 300 million of that 23 billion in private endowment funds so they would get about 14,000,000 from their private funds.....TAMU College Station would get about 141 million from their private endowment funds....and on and on through all the system schools and agencies that have private endowment funds managed by UTIMCO (like UTA, UT Southwestern and UT MD Anderson) the budget of UT Austin was 1.7 billion according to this site http://www.utexas.edu/opa/pubs/facts/enrollment.php so even if UT was to receive the ENTIRE 400 million made available by UTIMCO to the AUF it would only cover less than 25% of their budget....and when you add in the 165 million UT Austin receives from their PRIVATE endowment funds managed by UTIMCO it is still less than half of their entire budget.......also from the above site UT received 411 million in research funding from private, international, federal, and state research competitive research grants and paid private research so if you add up 411 million in research funding, 165 million in private endowment payouts you get to 576 million.....again from the above site the estimated annual tuition of UT including housing is 18,400.....UT has 50,000+ students.....but not all live on campus so not all of that estimate would be revenue for UT http://www.utexas.edu/tuition/costs.html from the above site the per semester tuition alone for UT is about 4,300 per semester for resident tuition and about (we will average) 12,000 for the two classes of non-residents http://bealonghorn.utexas.edu/whyut/profil...state/index.htm this link says UT has only 434 out of state students so (8,600 (.991) + 12,000 (.009)) * 50,000 = (8522.6 + 108) * 50,000 = 431,530,000 I believe something like 1/3 of the students stay and go to summer school so (8630.6) *.33 * 50,000 = 144 million so 431.5 Million + 144 million + 576 million (from research and private endowments) = 1.135 billion in private endowment, tuition, and research funding for UT (still have not included any of the 400 million from the AUF) so there is 549 million to make up......we have housing revenue for on campus students http://bealonghorn.utexas.edu/whyut/basics...nces/index.html from the above link UT dorm spaces START at 7,585 per year http://www.citytowninfo.com/school-profile...texas-at-austin from the above link UT has 6827 dorm spaces on campus......so 7,585 * 6,827 = 52 million so now we have 1,187,000,000 in total revenue for UT ( taking very low estimates) which leaves 513 million to make up without any of the PUF/AUF funds yet counted UT also receives formula funding annually from the state just like every state university does.....it is based on a formula that counts total enrollment and the types of degrees enrolled in by the students......arts and liberal arts is the lowest in the formula on up to engineering, pharmacy and other types of degrees that cost more for hiring faculty......this is the same formula that is used for all state schools across the board http://www.cppp.org/files/6/House%20Senate...20Education.pdf these numbers show UT funding based on formula (or mostly formula) at 500 million for 2006-2007 If you look at Texas Tech with 28,000 students VS the 50,000+ students at UT Austin you can see that Texas Tech received about half of the formula funding that UT Austin did....the difference can be made up with UT having a larger college of engineering, a larger % of grad students VS Tech (grad students are higher formula funding) and UT has a larger nursing program than Tech and Techs nursing program is actually under the TTUHSC which is a different budget than the main campus, and UT has a large pharmacy program as a part of the main university while Techs pharmacy program is a part of the HSC as well and is in Amarillo....engineering, pharmacy, nursing, and other similar "expensive to run" programs receive a higher formula funding....you can also see UH with 33,000 students and a bit smaller engineering program than UT receives similar formula type funding.....you can also take in faculty rank and longevity in to that equation as well which a larger school with more research oriented faculty will usually have faculty of a higher rank in the tenure track so now when you add in all the sources of revenue for UT Austin WITHOUT anything from the PUF/AUF you get to 431.5 million in long semester tuition + 144 million in summer tuition + 52 million in housing revenue + 411 million in research and grant revenue and 500 million in formula funding = 1,538,500,000 in total revenue for UT Austin out of a 1.7 billion TOTAL BUDGET and we still have not included the PUF/AUF excellence funds so there is a 161,500,000 million dollar difference between revenue and budget expenses WITHOUT including the PUF/AUF funds going to UT Austin now if you count the 165 million in funds from the private endowment we can see that UT Austin is actually over 1.7 billion.......there is a chance a large portion of this goes to scholarships which would be "double dipping" as tuition revenue and there is a chance that not all the 50,000 students go to school full time so there is probably less tuition revenue than I counted so we can see that the UT Austin portion of the PUF/AUF funds is somewhere between 0 and 161.5 million....there are 32 public universities in Texas.....if the entire 161.5 was UTs portion and we were to do what some THINK is "fair" and divide that all equally then we would have an extra 5.5 million per school (you need to remember some of those 32 schools already participate in the PUF/AUF).....so for a school like Texas Tech or UH with a 500 million dollar budget this would be a WHOPPING 1% increase in funding ......yes that is right.......by any of the wildest stretch of the imagination if UT Austin was to have to divide their share of the PUF it would give many of the larger schools in Texas about a 1-2% increase in budget and again I do not believe UT gets near that 161.5 million difference from the PUF/AUF....because UT gets at least 100 million a year in donations and not near all of that goes directly into the endowment.....I believe UT Austin gets somewhere around 80-90 million from their split of the PUF after all other UT and TAMU system bonds are covered if we just take the 400 million that went into the AUF and split it by 32 universities that would equal 12,500,000 a year for every school in the state....so that would be a WHOPPING 2.5% increase in budget for UH or Tech if you were to do it on a per student basis then we might get UH and Tech up to a 4% increase in budget now if you have been keeping up with the "tier1" discussion you would know that it has been estimated the THECB and the Texas Senate that it would take about 70 million PER SCHOOL in increased yearly funding to elevate each school to "tier 1"......and again NONE of the 7 emerging research universities mentioned are near UT Austins 50,000 students....UH is the closest with 33,000 students.....and again this is the BARE MINIMUM needed to get these schools to 100-150 million in external research while UT Austin and TAMU College Station are doing 400 million + so PLEASE READ THESE NUMBERS AND THINK ABOUT THEM......we KNOW from the State that 70 million is needed PER SCHOOL ANNUALLY to elevate each school......and when we do the simple math we can see for a LARGE school like UT Austin them receiving an extra 0 - 161.5 million annually over and above the per student formula funding that all schools in Texas receive equally we can surely see that UT Austins share of the PUF/AUF funds is nowhere near out of line for what it takes to have them as a "tier 1" university.....and we can see with even 3rd grade math that splitting the PUF/AUF funds on a per university or a per student basis would not even be 20% of the additional funding it would take to elevate Tech or UH or any other school....and at what cost.....the cost of UT Austin surely falling way down in national and international reputation and falling further behind peer schools in funding and research good question....first California pays a HELL of a lot more in taxes than Texas does.....second California has TWO university systems and that is it and I believe none of their universities have "system centers" third in California with the exception of CS Northridge and maybe CS San Diego and (maybe one or two others) none of the CSU universities offer PhDs and the few that were mentioned that do offer them offer about three PhDs max and one of then will be an EdD. so this greatly limits the amount of duplication and expenses that goes into the vast majority of their universities and it channels a great deal of funding into those select 9 UC System schools this two system approach cuts way down on overhead and "one upmanship" the UC System schools are only required to take the top 4% or 5% of students so again there is a limit to how many undergrads are taking up space at their top research universities http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/campuses/welcome.html 9 universities http://www.calstate.edu/search_find/campus.shtml 23 universities Lets look at Texas with the UT System http://www.utsystem.edu/ 9 universities (no system centers) TAMU System 10 universities (plus one system center in south San Antonio associated with TAMUK that will be a full university, and a Tarleton campus in Killeen) http://www.tamus.edu/overview/ The Texas Tech System http://www.texastech.edu/ two universities (with very small system centers in Fredericksburg, Marble Falls, Abilene and a very few classes at the Junction (of the TAMU Junction boys fame) "campus") the UH System http://www.uhsa.uh.edu/ 4 universities and 2 system centers The Texas State System http://www.tsus.edu/ 4 universities and 6 system centers (Sul Ross Rio Grande is two separate campuses and the Tx State System Center in Round Rock is not listed) the FAKE UNT system http://untsystem.unt.edu/ one crappy university (and one totally unneeded pork system center that will be a full university one day in sunny south dallas) TWU http://www.twu.edu/ one girls college and a campus in Dallas and Houston Texas Southern as an independent crappy university http://www.tsu.edu/pages/1.asp Stephen F. Austin http://www.sfasu.edu/ Midwestern State http://www.mwsu.edu/ so Texas has 34 full universities and 15 system centers not counting the Lone Star College setup and the UCD (downtown dallas) setup and not counting ALL the campuses that offer a few courses like one of Techs and one of TWU and Texas has 6 university systems and 3 independent universities ....I am not positive, but I do not believe ANY of the US or CSU schools have any system centers and if they do they are probably not a full campus, but just a place that offers some courses in already available space (I could be wrong on this) so with a larger population than Texas California has 2 less full universities and the crappy UNT dallas will soon be a full (joke of a) university and TAMUK-System Center in south San Antonio will soon be a full university (though I think this IS needed for that region) so soon Texas will have 36 universities and around 13+ system centers (with buildings and campuses specifically for them) then you add in that UT Austin, UTA, UTD, UTSA, UTEP, TAMU, TAMUK, UH, TTU, TWU, PVAMU, TSU, UNT offer a number of PhDs and several others offer at least a couple and you can see that Texas has let "my area" pork projects get way out of control in an effort to make wasteful fools happy and at the expense of having more top universities

UHCL, UHD, and UHV are freestanding universities within the UH system, UH Sugarland, and UH Cinco Ranch are system centers within the UH system UHCL, UHD, and UHV all have their own president of the university and all have their own distinct degree requirements for degrees sometimes even the same degree in the same subject will have different requirements at the different schools.....UH Sugarland and UH Cinco Ranch offer degree programs through the various universities of the UH system and only upper level courses......so if you go to UH Sugarland and get a degree from there in Biology then that degree will meet the same requirements as the biology degree from UHV because that is who it is offered through...if you get a B.A. in English then it will meet the exact requirements of the main campus of UH because that is who it is offered through Dr. Renu Khator is the president of the main UH campus and also the Chancellor of the UH system which means she is over all the presidents of the free standing universities and she is over the system centers that do not have their own presidents and do not have the authority from the state of Texas to offer or create their own degrees or degree plans The main campus of UH does not have to approve anything to do with the name change, but Dr. Khator as the Chancellor does approve it after the president of UHD does the UH System functions as the representative to the State of Texas when it comes time for all the universities to lobby for funding which means the individual presidents of the university don't go before the legislators as individual representatives of their school to lobby the state and the system as a whole coordinates the universities to try and avoid duplication and take advantage of synergies when possible There is a possibility that you could take a course at UHD while going to UH main campus, but it would be rare, but there is a good chance you might take a course at UH Sugarland and have a telecourse from UHV or any of the other schools especially related to the university that the degree is offered through or even take a course at that free standing campus as well UH is what is called a "strong system" which means the above....the chancellor lobbies on behalf of the universities in the system and tries to coordinate degree offerings.....TAMU, UT, and Texas Tech are also strong systems.......the Texas State System with Lamar, Texas State San Marcos, Sam Houston, and Sul Ross is a "weak system" which means the presidents of the universities lobby for their own funding and they are more independent in their choices about what degrees and types of degrees to offer.....there is really not a huge difference between the two per say other than a "weak system" does not have a flagship campus as well which is the one that is usually the oldest, largest, and the one that offers the broadest number of masters and PhDs....this is not always the case like Berkeley is "Cal" and considered the "flagship" of the UC system, but UCLA is larger and does more research and probably offers and graduates the same or more graduate degrees in the end both strong and weak systems have their own Board of Regents as well that represent all the universities and agencies in that system at this time the Texas State System is moving towards becoming a strong system and that is part of the reason Angelo State left that system and joined the Texas Tech system

was he a member of Los Viejos Locos?

Gulf Coast State University South Texas State University South Texas University Southeast Texas State University University of South Texas University of Southeast Texas Seguin State University Southeastern Texas University Texas Gulf Coast State University Texas Southeast University every one of those names is just stupid....I never met anyone in my life or living in Houston that ever considered Houston to be south Texas......most in San Antonio think it is only on the cusp of South Texas and that is only because it is to the direct north of what IS south Texas.....most people I ever met considered Houston to be Houston, but if they gave it a directional location it was more EAST than anything though Houston is not really in what people consider east Texas as well especially those behind the pine curtain IN east Texas Seguin State.....what total idiot came up with that especially since there is a TOWN CALLED SEGUIN that is nowhere near Houston and Seguin has a university in it.....talk about STUPID....and it has been studied time and again that bidirectional named schools are less respected which makes a number of those other names worthless.....then you add in the CLEAR confusion with South Texas College of law and again MANY of those names are stupid and if I was STCL I would be considering cranking up some of those lawyers to prevent the false association and I hope they do...which leaves the Gulf Coast choices and the inclusion of State in them makes them wordy and stupid as well Houston Metro was the best too bad some ignorant fool with a complete lack of understanding of the total LACK of "gravitas" that UHD holds stood in the way of that

first St Thomas is a small liberal arts university and does not concentrate on research which is what "tier 1" is about and it does not offer any of the programs that receive large external grant funding like Ag, engineering, or medicine which is why it is not included Rice does a huge amount of external research especially for its size and it is a member of the AAU which is why in this discussion and around the USA Rice would be considered "tier 1" as for the respect of UH....UH does far and away more externally funded research of the 7 emerging research universities in Texas (UH, TTU, UTA, UTD, UTSA, UTEP, and UNT).....UH has the largest % of grad students of any of the 7, UH has the second largest and broadest engineering college of the seven (TTU is be first), UH has the second largest endowment of the seven right behind TTU and a couple of hundred million above UTD, UH has 150+ endowed faculty positions which is ahead of Tech and UTD by a good deal, UH does lag behind UTD in faculty holding a Nobel Prize or on the national academies, UH offers and graduates the most masters and PhDs of the seven and UH has a large, well respected, and well funded college of business and a large and respected law school, neither of which bring in large grants, but they do bring in large donations raising the admissions and graduation rate of UH would be one of the least expensive ways to raise the stature of any of the seven emerging research universities as long as you held total UH funding steady (if enrollment drops at first) you would only be on the hook for additional formula funding to the schools that picked up the students UH did not admit with the exception if TTU which has Ag, Engineering, Medicine (in Lubbock and El Paso), Pharmacy, Nursing, and a well funded college of business and a law school (for the donations) none of the other seven emerging research universities in Texas have any professional programs on campus and the others only offer smaller engineering programs of the programs listed that bring in large external research funding.....and UH is building relationships in TMC and is looking at starting a full med school....so UH is at the front of the pack for "tier 1" status by almost any of the measures as for the BS comments....please learn basic math, learn how endowments work, and learn basic % mathematics before you call BS first you mentioned the false argument that UT and TAMU hog funds or have funds to share with other schools......it is a known fact that when compared to all their peer schools (the UC system), Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and on down the list....UT and TAMU when all revenue sources are counted (tuition, state formula funding, PUF (state) funding, and private endowment funds) UT and TAMu are funded on a smaller per student basis than almost any of their peer schools by a large amount I mentioned the PUF specifically because that is the only endowment that UT and TAMU could or legally can share....it is not the responsibility of UT or TAMU to share privately raised endowment funds with other system schools or with other public universities in Texas.....and in a vast majority of cases if not all it would not be legal for them to share those funds since they were donated with the idea in mind and often with legal requirements that they fund specific programs or the specific school......TAMU and UT both have PRIVATE endowments that are in the range of 3.5 to 4 billion......when most people see the "massive" endowment of the two it includes the PUF and the % that each receive the PUF is the only part of that total endowment that can legally or could possibly be shared because that is the only part that is "state" funding and in any way under the control of the state.....the other PRIVATELY raised donations are no different than the privately raised endowments of any other school in Texas or the USA http://www.utimco.org/funds/allfunds/2008annual/index.asp the latest numbers are above for all to CLEARLY see....the last numbers I know off the top of my head UTIMCO took just at 400 million from the PUF and placed that into the AUF which is the money that can be spent by the participating members of the UT and TAMU Systems....and from that 400 million bonds for infrastructure, equipment, and a few other narrowly defined things are paid for participating members of the UT and TAMU Systems and the remaining funds after those bond cost are split by formula with UT Austin, TMAU College Station, and PVAMU for "excellence" and UT Austin had a 1.2 billion dollar budget so again even if all that 400 million went to UT Austin it would only be 1/3 of their budget when people see the 23 billion in the UTIMCO report and the large endowment listings for TAMU College Station and UT Austin......the UTIMCO listings include all the public PUF money for all the participating UT System and TAMU System schools, all the PRIVATELY RAISED money for ALL the UT System Schools, all the UT Medical Schools, ALL the TAMU System schools, all the TAMU Medical schools, The Ag and Engineering Experiment and Extension Services at TAMU, the Texas Transportation Institute at TAMU, and the Texas Forest service so that 23 billion includes PUF funds and private endowment funds for ALL the system institutions......would you want money donated to UT MD Anderson by private individuals for specific programs suddenly taken and handed to WTAMU because that is "fair".....I am sure there is some fool that would answer yes, but that would not be legal and at best it would totally kill private endowment fund raising of state schools and at worst it would be legally challenged and possibly result in those funds being removed from state management entirely and returned to te donor or sent elsewhere the PUF funds are the ONLY money that the state legislators have any control of at all and they total much less than the 23 billion total under UTIMCO management and in 2007 the PUF placed the previously mentioned 400 million into the AUF to cover the previously mentioned expenses....the PUF by law is tied by what % of the funds (just under 5%) on a rotating average of previous years performances that it can place in the AUF the private funds in UTIMCO for UT Austin, TAMU College Station, and all the other UT and TAMU system schools and components are tied by a similar rule and those funds are PRIVATE and not subject to legislative control but again when ALL sources of revenue are counted (PUF endowment, private endowment, tuition, and state formula funding) UT Austin and TAMU College Station are under funded on a per student basis by several thousand dollars per student when compared to nearly all the other public "tier 1" universities THAT IS A FACT.....PERIOD.....so get clue, learn the difference between private endowment funds and their use and restrictions, PUF funds, the total money managed by UTIMCO, and where that money goes and who it serves, and what the state of Texas has any control of at all, basic % math, and long term investment management for income and growth......because you are the one shoveling BS based on half truths, ignorance of the facts and the law, and the truth with recent dorm completions UH has a pretty high % of students that live on campus and with dorms in the planning stages UH will have a very high % of students living on campus.....by SOME measures UT is actually called a commuter school because it actually does not have a large % of students actually living on campus, but UT foes have a number of private dorms right off campus like Dobie, the Woo, and Castilian along with several smaller ones

I had some friends that lived in some apartments in Westchase right at Westheimer and Gessner in the mid 80s and so many carts would build up it would block the areas to get to the apartments then the kids would play on like they were bigwheels or derby cars early on the weekends.....they would get back by piling them against the people doing its doors or smashing them into them late at night coming in from partying

The lawn parking, and trash cans drive me crazy......a couch under a porch is not a real deal breaker for me either, but in the yard I would find a way to set it on fire......live stock just makes me laugh
