[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC likes many things about Rice (collaborative students, residential college system, strong in STEM and humanities, near a major city, pretty campus, gender balanced) but also likes cold weather/fall/winter - asking to see if anyone has recommendations for a school that is similar to Rice but in a part of the country with cooler weather, close to skiing a plus. TIA ![/quote]

I have a kid at Rice who's a STEM major. I think it's a fairly unique school and hard to find something similar. But agree with Yale. It's not usually a destination for engineering types, but Yale is really investing there. And it has a residential college system and seems to be a pretty happy school. DC got into Rice in the ED round so didn't apply elsewhere. But other schools DC considered were Stanford, Princeton, MIT, Northwestern, Harvey Mudd, and McGill. Stanford and Harvey Mudd aren't too far from good skiing - Tahoe and Mammoth. DC also would have applied to Purdue and Wisconsin, which are said to have pretty good vibes. And it gets cold there.
