My D is a freshman at Rice this year and it has been fantastic. She had to make the hard choice btw CAL and Rice. She chose Rice. At Rice, she has been able to work with a cancer research group right across campus near the medical centers as a freshman. She already has the opportunity to do her own research project. It has been worth the extra bucks. Also, there are no impacted classes like the UCs. She’s been able to get all classes for her double major biochem/molecular bio and enviro science. The residential colleges make it easy to get involved on campus. They have a community garden and all. Only gotcha is the August weather and missing So Cal just a bit.
