Rice has the best undergraduate experience in the nation, IMNSHO. If you have full tuition, it’s a no-brainer.

My sister goes to Georgia Tech and loves it, for what it’s worth, but Rice is better.

Silentsailor is right, Rice is an easier school in which to distinguish yourself. There are so many ways to step up and lead, especially with the college system. I’m actually afraid to talk on this board about a lot of the stuff that I’ve done at Rice because I’m afraid that I’m too well-known through those positions, but suffice it to say that I’m a pretty distinguished figure both in my college and campus-wide. (I sound like a pompous ass. Maybe I am.)

There also aren’t grad students sucking up the resources, so a lot of research opportunities go straight to undergrads.
