[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are a lot of Rice boosters on this site (and I mean that in a positive way), so, pease tell me more.

My kid didn't love the atmosphere at Rice when we visited, but is having trouble eliminating it from his final 2-3 schools. I think he's looking for reasons to pick Rice over the other options but is hesitant about the culture because it seemed very serious and not very fun/spirited.[/quote]

I think you have posted about this before. Clearly it is hard for your DC to let go of Rice---it is so hard that they have to choose with such little information. Does DC like/love another college (even if ranked lower)? Honestly you can get an amazing education in many places---so look at social fit and major fit. Make a list of pros and cons. Look at location. Sometimes if you don't have a clear sense go with your gut. Good luck. [/quote]

Thank you and you're right. Rice is a very impressive place but I think it is going to come down to Georgetown or BC based on fit.[/quote]

Good for him -- my kid loved Rice after the visit and has been very happy there, but if your kid didn't feel that buzz of finding his place, it's not for him, especially when he has good options. [/quote]
