DD got in from WA and appreciate your feedback. [/quote]

Not my kid personally, but know a ton of alums and current students, and they have all loved it (and speak highly of these factors).  Any particular questions?

I'll also note that Rice is fantastic and in a great location (beautiful leafy, green campus that doesn't feel urban and neighbors a residential community and lively  shopping hub on one side and Hermann park on the other, while still being walking distance to the Med Center, Museum district and light rail access to downtown.)  And while Houston's overall climate is ... sub-optimal, it lines up pretty perfectly with the Academic Calendar, minus the heat that lingers into the Fall. For someone from WA it's actually an amazing balance - Houston's best weather tends to be Feb-April, exactly when WA is in the long dark, and then go home to the PNW for the glorious summer months when Houston turns into the surface of the sun.

We moved to Houston a while ago and that was the ONE (insurmountable) knock against Rice for our kid - it was just too close to home for what she wanted out of a college experience.  If we lived literally [i]anywhere [/i]else - including just an hour further out - it would have been at the top of her list.[/quote]
