Needs to be approved first by voters.
Dosen't say how long it's gonna take though. That would be a key factor...at least to me. But yeah, then Houston would need another University. A city of that size can't just have one top tier school. Not everybody gets into a top school. But I don't even think they are planning on opening a new University here.

Actually no they expanding on campus living significantly in the next few years to shed the commuter university stigma. However, hands down UH is the best candidate for tier 1 status. UTSA and UT Dallas are just as much of a commuter campus than UH currently is.
I just graduated from Texas State University at San Marcos, so I'm not sure what you mean by "we need a real 'Texas State' somewhere". BTW, Texas State has 30,000+ students. |

I'm with you and Topaz on this.
I'm excited for UH central. I've always thought it had lots of potential, and I didn't even go there. |

Yeah, me and my friend usually walk the campus at night and you see quite a crowd at that new pub off Calhoun, across from the rec room. |

I think we forgot Baylor. They are top tier as well. U.S news says they got $1,014,044,000. And they are "only" #76.
