You must have a car in Houston unless you live on campus. But getting around to places like the grocery store and restaurants would be difficult. With the weather, you'd want to have a car.
Bikers are not treated well there. There aren't even bike lanes and it's very unusual to see a bike on the road at all. I visited my family last fall and tried to bike about 2 miles to a smoothie place and about died from the drivers and the heat. Austin is home of Lance, so it's definitely a more bike friendly city.
I hope someone could comment further on Houston, as I'm seriously considering BCM (I'm still waiting on other schools, but the info would still be very helpful). So I've read that cars are a must, but what about the bus + bike combo? Are bikers treated well there, maybe as good as in Austin?

You must have a car. I wouldn't live around UH since it's not in the greatest area. I always felt safe on campus, but I wouldn't want to live in some of the apartments right near campus. Houston is a cheap city, with cheap housing and cheap gas. The best thing about Houston: the food. Man do I miss that food. People are friendly. Cons: Traffic sucks and so does the humidity.

Those are all good signs! An hour and a half interview? Wow. I wonder how many applicants they are interviewing. My friend had a phone interview with Syracuse for the SLP program and she said it was a very relaxed interview, they just wanted to get a feel for her personality and ask why their program/why Syracuse? You'll do great, don't worry!
