The “most students” bit is just nonsense.

Still, the faculty and resources in most of the humanities at Rice are simply not as strong as in most of the sciences. Rice is lacking in really top-notch humanistic scholarship.
This does not mean that undergraduates in the humanities don’t get great educations; I’ve consistently heard great things, in fact. But if you want to be around earthshaking humanistic endeavor, Rice probably isn’t the place for you.
