<p>They’re all great schools and cost about the same with Johns Hopkins being the most expensive at around $52,000 and Rice being the least at around $41,000.
The thing is, I’m not quite sure what I will major in yet (late, I know ><), but I have a general area down at either something with medicine or business (perhaps both?) </p>
<p>They all have beautiful campuses and great school atmosphere (as far as I can tell from the brochures anyway). I’ve taken the time to visit all of them except for Rice, which hopefully I will be able to visit in the next week. </p>
<p>I’ve pretty much eliminated Johns Hopkins from the list due to all the rumors I’ve heard about their students doing outrageous things to stay ahead as well as my own dislike for the campus, but I would very much like to hear other opinions on this school </p>
<p>Glad to hear that you are going to see Rice as prospective students who make the effort to do so find out why those who know the school find it so appealing. You will also need to think more about the nature of what you will experience at these colleges from things like class sizes to social life (incl. Greek scene or not) to athletic life (do you enjoy spirited campuses with major college sporting events?) to location to weather and what you want to deal with during the school year. </p>
<p>I’d suggest visiting Rice first and then coming back to CC and asking for more opinion when you are in a better spot to judge the quality of the advice that’s being offered as it applies to your individual situation.</p>
