Houston Neighborhoods
From Montrose to The Heights, from Uptown to the Museum District, Houston is a city of livable, affordable neighborhoods. While a car remains pretty much indispensable for most city dwellers, Houston’s still reasonable cost of living means that even graduate students can—with a little finessing—live in great parts of town and enjoy good restaurants, lively coffee houses, fun bars, and a wide array of entertainment choices. While nothing can replace touring the city yourself, the links below provide an introduction. Prospective students are free to contact the Program office and ask names and numbers of current graduate students willing to answer questions about life in this remarkable city.
