| Dd has had some FABULOUS teachers over the years! (Also one or two that she didn't find as interesting, but the really good profs far out-weighed the one or two not-so-good. And she has several wonderful profs who she counts as mentors and friends.) The lovely thing about Rice is that it has such a high faculty to student ratio that there are more options of profs to chose between. If you were at a LAC with only 1850 students and a 1:10 ratio, it might be limiting. That being said - the beginning sequence for engineers is very similar across most school: diff E, Calc, Physics, Chem. Some find the content fascinating, some not so fascinating. |
