[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really liked Rice when we went to visit it. Since we are in NYC, my kids did not even apply to Columbia but very few kids who went there liked it. You have to like the Core. Amherst is too small and remote but has a great reputation and I know many who should pick it over Rice. It is worth visiting all three because they are very different schools.[/quote] Rice is special and its location, campus layout, academic environment make it easy to have an amazing college experience. I would choose it over many colleges with supposedly more name glamor. The only case I would not choose Rice is 1) if your child is expecting rah rah social energy. Rice does not. Its social energy is friendly but mellow; 2) if you come in with a chip about Tx. Rice is not super political. The kids are truly academically and Rice community driven. They will find it annoying and pretentious if you keep harping about TX politics. It is a liberal campus.[/quote]
