if you come to UH for reasons other than academics, you are doing yourself and everyone(students, family, maybe even friends) around you a disservice. subconsciously you will give off discontent for passing up better schools. and the student moral will be even lower. choosing a school actually to be near friends with other reasons like it's half full instead of half empty or it's close to NASA will subvert your educational attitude( i met a NASA engineer from UT). you go to the available school that fits your academics the "best". if you are majoring in a hard science or any difficult major do not compromise you best option. you need to be at your best. with already very few majoring in UH physics, a few classmates dropped out, changed majors or disappeared. i did not have the same impression at UT. my junior college friends that transferred to UT engineering all seem to be doing well. would you want to be around students that may not be there next semester or rather around stable students.

some of the teachers here have a tendency to spend half the class talking about something unrelated to the subject. my upper division physics professor spent a constant 30 minutes discussing why he disliked the Japanese while stereotyping the whole race. he gave me a lower grade. his research assisstant abruptly sat down and told me that my B+ would show up only as a B on the transcript and walked off. i did not share my grade with anyone and only my professor graded my exams. if i was at A&M, i'd go directly to the president since my family is a constant aggie supporter. one would think, that with university tuition increasing to 600% within 2 decades that teachers would have a conscious for full paying students with no financial aid whether they know it or not. at UT, i had A's and B's. i was the only one with an A in a class at UT and SWT. well, the plus side of going to UH is that i have a fondness now for Houston city, and want to visit back for that unique place on occasion.
