What are the best colleges to go to in houston , texas ? -

...............................

I would suggest Rice University first, it s one of the top schools in the nation and one of the most affordable private schools in the country

Rice is definitely one of the best universities in Houston. According to Wikipedia, there are over 60 colleges. The other standout in my opinion is the University of Houston, although Rice is far better.

Rice UniversityUniveristy of St Thomas: if you re catholic rich ( but you don t have to be Catholic)Houston Baptist used to be good IDK about now.

Rice is the best university in Houston. HBU is also recommended.

Rice, Baylor, UH, UTMB, UT-H...

Does it snow in Milwaukie, Oregon a lot? -

Im 14 my family and i are probably moving out there sometime during the summer or the next school year, and i was wondering, does it snow?i actually would sorta love it if it does (:oh! how much does it rain?

Milwaukie has essentially the same weather and climate as Portland��the center of Milwaukie is just 4 miles south of downtown Portland. The biggest variation between the two would occur with (uncommon) east winds: Milwaukie is more protected by hills to the east, and thus doesn t often experience strong gorge-focused winds.Wikipedia s climate description of winter is quite good and well researched:Winters can be mild to cold, and very moist, with January averaging a high of 46 ��F (8 ��C) and a low of 37 ��F (3 ��C), cold snaps are short-lived. Spring can bring rather unpredictable weather, resulting from warm spells, to thunderstorms rolling off the Cascade Range. The rainfall averages 37.5 inches (950 mm) per year in downtown Portland. Portland averages 155 days with measurable precipitation a year. Snowfall occurs no more than a few times per year, although the city has been known to see major snow and ice storms thanks to cold air outflow from the Columbia River Gorge. The city s winter snowfall totals have ranged from just a trace on many occasions, to 60.9 inches (154.7 cm) in 1892-93. The lowest temperature ever recorded in Portland was ?3 ��F (?19 ��C), set on February 2, 1950.
