Can't decide between Wesleyan + Rice!

I fell in love with Rice and was so sure that I was destined to be there. I also loved it when I visited, but I also felt like something was missing.

I’m a very right-brained, creative, artsy person and I’d like to major in psychology and graphic design. I love fashion and I like to dress up a bit. Sometimes I get a few looks from my fellow homogenous prep school friends, and I want to break free from the social mold. I love vintage, 80s movies, classic rock music. My ideal guy would be cute, quirky, silly, and not afraid to dress a little weird. I love to talk intellectually and philosophize. I DO NOT drink or do drugs due to personal reasons. What I love about Rice is the residential college system because I feel like it is a built-in family. However, I am worried that being surrounded by engineers and science and math majors will get overwhelming. And to be honest, I want to date a bit in college too.

Right now I’m leaning towards Wesleyan based on my preferences. However, there are so many things that Rice has and Wesleyan doesn’t have: residential college system is a big one, but drug use is not very apparent at all at Rice and I’ve heard that the people are friendlier. I don’t know which one to choose!

I’d also like some clarification some rumors about Wes. I’m also a bit concerned that the people at Wesleyan are a little willy-nilly when it comes to sex. I want to have sex in college, but I don’t want multiple partners. I also don’t want to be around close-minded, overly liberal individuals. Last of all, I don’t want to smoke or drink now and I can’t see myself doing much of it in college. Will this be rough?
