perceptions of rice nationwide and in texas

<p>Well, I can honestly say that no one that’s from where I am has even heard of Rice and are completely unaware of its prestige. One girl was like “Yeah, I got some stuff from them…Where is it?”</p>

<p>And when I told my aunt I wanted to go to Rice she said, “You mean in Colorado?”</p>

<p>The most common reaction I got was “I’ve never even heard of that”. Most of my teachers were the same way. I’m really surprised that more people don’t know more about it.</p>
