<p>I’m impressed with many of the positives of VMI. Those guys become really close, and they really look after each other for life. Their network for jobs is very strong. One guy lost his job and they immediately had a network and funds to help him, etc. </p>
<p>I don’t care for a military school, but are there other schools with strong, close student bodies who provide a strong network for jobs, help, etc. and where the loyalty to each other and to the school is way above the norm?</p>
<p>Rice has a very strong sense of community – everyone looks out for each other and everyone here is down to earth and nice. Students here collaborate on almost everything-- study groups and willingness to help others despite the curves is the standard here. Not many snobs here. Although Rice does not have the name as Harvard and Stanford does, job networking is very strong here, especially if you are an engineering/science major.</p>
