If you’re doing physics, you’ll probably be looking at grad school. You liked both schools but did you feel that you would do better academically at one school over the other? I don’t really know anything about Physics but I do know about Houston humidity. In one sense, it’s like the cold, you get used to it.

In a lot of ways, UChicago sounds like a “safer” choice for you since you are currently in the midwest and it sounds like you are okay with the quality of the Chicago physic’s program. Houston would be different and you may ultimately decide to head back north after you graduate but it would be an opportunity to go outside your comfort zone. This probably hasn’t been a lot of help but just don’t let the humidity turn you off like someone would say about the cold in Chicago.
