Beamount is a ghetto area so I would not recommend as majority of Nepalese people live in houston area. Nacogdoches is a better place to live and study but I am not sure about the job opportunities available for your friend since the city is small. Since your friend is graduated from the HCC, why should not he try University of Houston at Downtown or Clearlake? These schools are one of best among other schools in the whole nation.
