Some good some bad - Postdoctoral Research Associate Rice University Employee Review

Pros

The cost of living in Houston is low, thereby allowing a nice life off a postdoc salary. There are some parks around that are nice to go to, and free performances during the summer at an outdoor theater. Winter here is pleasant, 60F most of the time.

Cons

It's hot during the summer in Houston. Hot and sticky. Muggy. Big city, so you need a car to get around. Houston is very cliquish, you won't find it a melting pot.
