[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about the Claremont Colleges? They’re kind of like different communities on the same large campus.[/quote]

This is a really good one.

I feel like Carnegie Mellon, MIT, and University of Rochester have the most similar vibe to Rice. Davidson and/or Washington and Lee if he's okay with a smaller campus. Wake Forest or University of Richmond if he's less academically inclined. And if your kid is more, ahem, the partying type, then Tulane and U of Miami.[/quote]

If this is true, then Rice is not the atmosphere I thought it was. Almost everyone we know at CMU and Rochester say they are intense and competitive atmospheres, with little school spirit and fun being had by students. [/quote]

I don't think Rice is anything like Carnegie Mellon. We dropped it off our list because of how intense and miserable it seemed. Same with Cornell. Rice is usually ranked as one of the happiest schools, which made it very appealing for someone interested in studying engineering. It's a difficult major. Finding a school where engineering students are having a good time is difficult. [/quote]

In parent times, at least, Wash. U. STEM was hard but not competitive.[/quote]
