<p>U of H is often called an underutilized resource. My impression is that although admission isn’t competitive, courses are rigorous. So, prospects of getting into grad school & jobs after graduating are good. U of H is a tier 1 university, one of four in TX. The other three are Rice, UT Austin and TX A&M College Sta. So, do not expect it to be easy. However, if you can afford to pay you should be okay to play. It is not in the best neighborhood, but still safe. I would think a good TOEFL score should be sufficient to waive HS English language requirements. However, check with Admissions.</p>
