<p>Hey all, these are my top two college picks and I want to know what are the biggest differences between the two universities. And don’t say location and weather because I know that. I’m interested in studying something in a physics or computer science field.</p>
<p>While Rice doesn’t have a huge athletic culture, it is Division 1 sports and has a lot more athletic focus than CM. I think Rice is strong in physics (I don’t know much about computer science), but CM could be stronger.<br>
I think the residential college system at Rice is desirable and really gives a student a “base” for all the college years AND as an alum. I don’t know of anyone who applied to both schools.</p>
