[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD really likes Rice for the STEM rigor, research opportunities, nice balance of slightly nerdy student vibe mixed with a fun (not fueled by heavy partying) and collaborative campus culture, but she doesn’t want to live in Texas. A science kid, high stats top rigor from a private that sends kid to both schools. Great ECs. Would Duke be similar to Rice academically and just as supportive, collaborative and fun or if it a lot less nerdy and more fratty?

What other high reach schools are like Rice but not in Texas? Narrowing down ED options. Not applying to HYP due to unhooked. [/quote]

Are they engineering? Duke Engineering will have a similar feel to Rice though the overall basketball-centric social life could be annoying for nonsports kids.
Look at Penn, Hopkins, Northwestern, WashU for other collaborative but rigorous engineering schools, or strong in other parts of the STEM community, with lots of research funding for undergraduates. Columbia if they do not mind less of a campus feel, more urban-centric. CMU if they want intense rigor and almost all STEM students around them. [/quote]
