@BFWON Rice gives a lot of need-based aid. If your family income is below $80K tuition is free. As far as merit goes, it might not give much. Most top schools, like Rice and the Ivies, give a lot of need-based aid but very little merit aid.

But yeah, every situation is different. My nephew picked TA&M over Rice for the exact same reason as your friend - full ride is hard to beat.
