[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a Rice grad, not from Texas. Turned down 2 Ivies to go to Rice (no, not Cornell or Columbia or UPenn) and never regretted it for a second. [b]Rice is full of smart, quirky, kind kids who probably weren't cool in high school. [/b]It is academically challenging and engaging, but not competitive. All of the status-conscious stuff that was a big deal at my suburban high school (cars, clothes, vacations, etc) was wholly absent at Rice. Students have lots of freedom (lots!), but also enough of a safety net that I never felt alone or like I didn't have adults who I could call on if I needed help. It was an amazing place to learn and engage with the world of ideas and grow into my adult self. [/quote] I wonder it that's changed. Granted I only know a handful of kids from this area who have gone to Rice but none of them were quirky and most were "cool" in high school.[/quote]
