I’m trying to decide between Rice and UVa. I plan to major history, English, philosophy, or political science. I’m an OOS student at UVa, so the tuition at both schools are relatively the same.

I’m apprehensive about Rice because I read that it’s more science-focused than UVa is. Does Rice attract good humanities professors? Basically, what does each school bring to the table for a student majoring in the humanities? I’m interested in attending law school, so I’d also like to know about law school matriculation and pre-law programs at Rice.
