[QUOTE="Boss, post: 4058564, member: 1247"] For Houston, Rice probably has a better gaming scene than the other local colleges, and is the location of Houston's largest gaming con - Owlcon (as previously mentioned, though AggieCon at Texas A&M isn't that far away for a second choice). Weather is generally warm to outright 90+ degrees with 80-100% humidity, definitely not a dry heat. Even winter generally averages in the mid-50's. And as jeffh stated, a car is a must in Houston. The city is huge, and makes up enough of an area that the county it resides is larger than some east coast states. To put things in perspective on previous comments... pollution isn't that bad, unless you are on the east side of town near the ship channel and various plants in Pasadena, then it is horrendous. Mosquitos, Cockroaches, and various other insects can get bad, and yes, they tend to be bigger in Texas (Houston was built on a swamp, so what do you expect). One negative is the gaming stores... really only one major one left in Houston, Nan's. Fortunately, it is extremely close to Rice so that is a plus for consideration. In all honesty, you are going to have gaming organizations at all three schools, and much opportunity for play no matter where you go. [/QUOTE]
