How are the girls?

Sorry for the repost, but I just have to disagree with BerkleyMom

Maybe not the stark physical beauty, but the overall attractiveness and your compatibility with the student body as a whole is a very important factor in choosing a school.

As prospective students it’s a tough thing to admit, but the question of whether we see our future school as a place where we will find a compatible partner is a big part of the decision making process (at least it was for me and I’m not ashamed to admit it).

That being said, to expound upon my earlier response:

Take this with a grain of salt, but here goes…

The ladies at Rice are by in large attractive. They are all very smart, and many are quite cute by conventional standards. You will not find a huge cadre of “state school hotties”, but they are indeed here. If you are attractive and interesting enough yourself to coalesce with a “state school hottie”, you should certainly have no problems finding a member of the preferred gender at Rice.

On the negative end of things, the student body here (ladies included) tend to be a bit more introverted than you may be accustomed to. As a talkative extrovert, this took some adjustment the first few weeks. A month in at this point, I have found that the people I first mistook for disliking said extroverted personality were really just intimidated. Many of these people have become my good friends. Many of these were members of the opposite sex and are quite attractive.

Come to Rice. It’s amazing here.
