[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've heard the kids at Rice are happier than the kids at WashU? Is there any truth to this?[/quote]

Couldn't be more true. Soon to be former student at WashU here (transferring out), and the general sentiment is that most departments/programs are nowhere near good enough to justify/make up for the total lack of name recognition the school has outside of the midwest. The CS department is downright awful, as are a lot of fields that aren't related to premed. [/quote]

No dog in this fight, but I would say that Wash U is better known than Rice, and both would be known by grad schools and large employers.[/quote]

When your college is often mixed up with at least 3 other colleges (UWash in Seattle, Washington College, GWU), then no, I don't think you can say it's more "well-known" than a place like Rice. Of course, there are differences between WashU and those other places, but it's nothing spectacular or unique enough to make WashU a household name. Everything WashU offers is done better by some other school ranked in the T30. Internationally, Rice holds much more water as well. [/quote]
