Our Vandy son was full price at Rice. Rice is not stingy on financial aid that is need based but their most common signature scholarships are both more plentiful and more heavily shared across the freshman class for merit dollars (which is so “Rice” actually…it is a school that is very egalitarian and it is hard to fathom how they pick merit winners at Vandy these days from a cohort of equals) --and smaller in size re tuition discounts.

However, he did love those Rice Residential Colleges and we have the best memories of touring Rice~ ! What a splendid school!

However, he is making his way as an independent at Vanderbilt and has had so many fabulous experiences provided by Vanderbilt. The student body at Vanderbilt is undergoing a tremendous sea change and his attitude is “I want to be part of that.” We hope that you will trust your instincts, come see Vandy for yourselves on an accepted student day if at all possible.
