The University of Houston's proud heritage of academic excellence dates back to its founding in 1927. In 1947, the institution launched one of its many rich traditions by adopting the cougar, later named Shasta, as its official mascot.

Over the years, we grew and prospered, becoming the University of Houston in 1934. Two years later, the institution acquired land for a permanent campus, and its first building opened in 1939. The university became a state institution in 1963 and joined the newly created University of Houston System in 1977.

Frontier Fiesta- Each year a piece of the campus is transformed into a fully functional town called "Fiesta City" which features free live concerts each night, variety shows by student organizations, carnival booths, multicultural performances, and a BBQ Cook–Off and Bake Fiesta.
Cougar Sign- At game time, Cougar fans show their support by making the "cougar sign" made by folding the ring finger of the right hand toward the palm. The tradition dates back to 1953, when Shasta I, the presiding cougar mascot, lost a toe in a cage door on her way to a game. The opposing team, the University of Texas, mocked UH by imitating the cougar's injury. The Cougars soon adopted that gesture as a symbol of pride.

It is appropriate for e to go this school because it has football and good sign language programs. Also it's very diverse and with the financial aid, it wouldn't be costly. I am qualified to go to this school because my GPA meets the standards and my SAT scores do as well. An advantage would be it's closer than LSU but a disadvantage is the fact that i'm not relocating to a new state.
