[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most people can't see past Texas's public image. Rice is a liberal school in a liberal city. There is a lot to do, from entertainment to research and internships. Houston has a low cost of living and bright chances for employment with good employers. Go enjoy 4 years, avoid harsh winters (summer months are off anyways) do year round internships and research in nearby hospitals and companies, get employed and then if unhappy, transfer somewhere.

If you don't get that some people don't want to live under draconian abortion laws, or be around people who are holstering guns, or where it is acceptable to chainsaw migrants as they are crossing a river and who are openly suppressing the votes of minority voters...[/quote]
DP. I understand why people want to avoid living in Texas, but I admire the people who move to Texas and work to change the things you mention. Rice is not monolithically liberal, but it’s primarily so, and students vote in large numbers and go out in droves to help register other voters. My DD and many of her Rice friends also volunteered for the campaigns of local democrats. [/quote]

This is obnoxious thinking... my DS just graduated from Rice. I would considered your post to be "cultural imperialism."  Houston is plenty liberal and international, and doesn't need your missionary efforts.  But if someone judges the people of Texas in this way, they shouldn't move there.[/quote]
