HOUSTON -- In retrospect, Raul Ramos says his first eight years at the University of Houston were spent in "blissful ignorance."

"I didn't know how parking works, how the dining halls work, how financial aid works," said the associate professor of history. "Now I do."

Ramos, 43, is fully immersed in campus life, living in a dorm for the first time in more than two decades, along with his wife, Elizabeth Chiao, and their sons, Noe and Joaquin Ramos Chiao.
