[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are very similar. I think Rice is an easier admit. Neither university is a bastion of diversity though. Both lean conservative and both located in MAGA dominated state legislatures.

In such states usually the most liberal place in the state is the flagship university.[/quote]

This is very much NOT the case for UT / Rice.

Houston in particular is a highly diverse, liberal city, and that is reflected in the student body.  There's a lot to dislike about Houston - especially the climate - but the diversity is not a part of that, it's one of the best parts of the town: a highly diverse community just becomes the default expectation.  And while the climate is terrible, it is worst during the months that most kids go home for the summer / the first 2 months of the year but can be quite pleasant Nov-May. Rice itself is a beautiful enclosed campus in one of the nicest parts of town.  It has the Med Center and Hermann park to the east, Rice Village (shopping and dining that has been moving upscale over the last 10-20 years) to the west, and very nice residential communities to the N and S.
