[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For someone interested in health policy, Rice has the advantage of having the largest medical complex in the country across the street. Cornell’s medical school and related hospitals are 250 miles away in NYC.[/quote]

I work in "health policy" and have never met a Rice grad. I am from Dallas so I do know some Rice grads, but none of them are in the "health policy" field here in DC.[/quote]

So?

Rice is a smaller college on the undergraduate level, made even smaller as a liberal arts college by the fact that 40% of its graduates are engineers & architects. How many Rice graduates even go into health policy? I expect that the number is very small. Since Rice draws its student body from all over the country, how many of them stay in Texas after graduation? Since more than 60% of their enrolled students are from out of state, I imagine that many of them scatter themselves back across the country after graduation.

I find it to be of not surprise that you haven’t run across health policy professionals who are Rice alums even though you work in Texas. I imagine that Rice alums in this endeavor are few and far between anywhere we look. However, I have no idea how this relates to the university’s ability to provide their students with an education that would prepare them for this field.[/quote]
