[quote=Anonymous]We still joke that our tour of Rice was like the Truman Show -- in a good way. Before the college counselor strongly recommended it for our son we hadn't even heard of Rice or ever visited Texas. But when we visited in April, it was warm and sunny and throughout our visit it was like there was someone cuing up really perfect vignettes for our son -- cue the friends playing frisbee and spike ball, cue the student walking an adorable puppy, cue groups of friends studying together outside. We had coffee with a professor that a friend had introduced us to and at least three different groups of students approached the professor to just say hi. I'm sure that the things I described happen everywhere, it just felt so lovely and perfect for our son. We didn't encounter that same feeling on any other tour. Rice went to the top of his list, he got in ED and loved his time there. So it really wasn't a "show" and the reality held up to that first glowing experience.[/quote]
