Houston Community College is not a good school. U of H is a good school. HCC is just an inner-city community college that services graduates from inner-city schools. It is probably one of the worst to prepare you academically for future jobs. U of Houston is a 4-year state-subsidized university with a number of Rhodes Scholars and several large research departments. It is not an "easy" school.
