[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a Bostonian who lived in Houston for a few years and Rice is awesome. Fantastic academics, beautiful campus. If your kid is nervous about Texas or the south (as people here sometimes say) they shouldn't be - Houston is a great city in its own way, great food, year-round outdoor activity, really diverse in every respect, including politics.

Rice's relationship to the city is somewhat analogous to Georgetown in DC - not far from the downtown (to the extent there is one in Houston, which is not really) but grassy and surrounded by a lovely neighborhood with cute shops. And your kid won't be there for the worst months of the year in terms of weather.[/quote]

This is the advantage of schools in warm climate, you are away for summer. You are there for most of the harsh winter at colleges in cold climate. It gets depressing.[/quote]

I'm one of the Rice parents who posted above and I just have to say that the weather is lovely during the winter, yes, but it's quite hot early in the school year, followed by a somewhat rainy fall, which can actually include hurricane season.  And then, of course, the end of the school year is also quite hot.  And, BTW, Rice Village is cute, but it's nothing like Georgetown. Rice is a great school, but nothing is perfect.   [/quote]
