Houston is hands down the most cosmopolitan and vibrant city in Texas, known primarily for its innovative spirit and unwavering determination in the fields of energy, aerospace, communications, and most importantly, medicine. Home to the world-renowned Texas Medical Center, the most ground breaking researchers, surgeons, and teachers call Houston their home.

The Texas Medical Center, just next to West University Place and south of downtown Houston, is easily accessible from all outlying areas such as Pearland, Friendswood, Katy, Spring, and The Woodlands. The recently implemented Metro rail system makes the area even more accessible and will eventually connect most of Harris County with the Medical Center.
