[quote=Anonymous]My son went to Rice, and I'd characterize him and his friends as ambitious students who are friendly and collaborative. They're also not hung up on whether Rice is considered an elite school. As recent grads, they feel like they got a good education, made good friends and are successfully pursuing their post-grad plans. I'd guess that there are three factors that contribute to this vibe: 1) the residential college systems, which is welcoming to all entering students and builds community; 2) the fact that many students don't come from the east coast and are not hothouse flowers who have been bred to compete with one another a la Hunger Games; and, 3) the fact that many of the students who are from the east coast chose to go to a school that many on DCUM might not consider "truly elite". Go Owls! [/quote]
