Hey you guys, congratulations on your acceptances! Like you all, my main worry was finding a place to live. I looked at the apartments close to campus (Bealls, Macgregor Gardens, others ~450 for a 1/1) but found that it wasn't very student friendly. The apartments in the medical center (Scotland Yard, some others on Holly Hall ~550+ for a 1/1 and ~850 for a 2/2) were much nicer and most residents are students. You will be getting lots of information from UHCO about the city of Houston, and more importantly, a few apartment locators that can show you around.
Congrats again!
