Rice University?

I was just kind of wondering everyone's opinions on the quality/prestige of the Rice MBA program. It had been one of the main schools I was looking at attending, but some of the rankings and other info that I've seen have been slightly disappointing. I like the location of the school, and the campus is beautiful, but being in Houston I think it might cater more towards the engineering/energy crowd than what I'm looking for.

So what do you think about the program/school in general? Thanks!

I don't know about the MBA program at Rice, but one (and only) comparison I've heard about Rice is that going to Rice is like being in an abusive relationship, in her own words.

I am currently a student at the Jones School. The program is excellent and met every one of my expectations so far. It's very intensive/tough. I chose the Rice MBA over Berkeley, UT, USC, UMiami, SMU and have had no regrets so far.

The program is excellent for finance. All bulge bracket IBs in Houston recruit primarily from Rice and there is quite a good network of alumni on Wall St too.
