<p>A beautiful area, for sure.</p>
<p>Excerpt:</p>
<p>Many streets in the Houston suburb are named after colleges, authors or poets. Rice University is located nearby. And 85 percent of West University Place’s adults hold bachelor’s degrees, the highest percentage in any Southern community.</p>
<p>Best part of West U is that it is right by everything. Unlike most burbs like Katy, Sugarland and the Woodlands that are 30+ miles from civilization, West U is in the city.</p>
<p>West U is a boring place with boring people. Rice U would be a lot more interesting if it were in montrose or the heights.</p>
<p>How do they define something in the middle of the city like West U as a suburb?</p>
