– Thanks, Alex, and hey, y’all. When I was looking at colleges, I knew that I wanted to have the opportunity to live in a city that gave me world renowned experiences, whether it be to live in one of the most diverse cities or professional advancements, I knew that living in Houston and attending UH was the best decision I could have made for myself. UH not only enriches me as a student, but allows me to have the diverse city of Houston in my backyard. Living in the city gives me access to the metro train, and in 10 minutes, I can be in Downtown or in the museum district. From visiting one of the many beautiful city parks to going to the Museum of Natural Science, there are so many free things that I love to do in the city. My friends and I love getting a dollar hotdog at an asterisks baseball game. For a nice night out for a play, the Alley theaters in the heart of the downtown theater districts surrounded by music, art, and culture. Being a student at shapes me to be a culturally enriched person. Houston is also the energy capital of the world. Major energy companies specifically come to UH to seek out students at energy career fairs. Houston is also home to many Fortune 500 companies. With the largest medical center in the world, the Texas Medical Center gives UH medical and nursing students hands-on experience that’s only 10 minutes away and makes Houston a great place to find a job after graduation. For those wanting to study the final frontier, NASA’s Johnson Space Center is only 45 minutes away. I couldn’t imagine myself thriving in any other city or university in my college career. Alex, how about that dollar hot dog? Back to you.

– That dollar hotdog looks incredible. Thank you, Natalia, for showing us all that Houston has to offer. It sure seems like a great place to spend four years with some amazing opportunities for graduates. Take care.
