Rice or Princeton?

Yeah, I’m from Houston. It did help that Rice was familiar, and also that as I kid, I passed it multiple times, thinking I’d how I’d love to go there. However, you seem to be implying that Texans get along with other Texans. I got a good rapport not because I met people like me, but just because the atmosphere was open and friendly. I met and got along with people from all over the United States, and some foreign students. Too many people look down on Texas- we’re a very large, diverse state. And any institute of higher learning, despite the fact that it’s in a heavily “red” state (which shouldn’t matter- and I’m heavily liberal, by the way), is going to be open minded and free thinking. Houston is an urban area with a very good arts scene.

By the way, I passed up Rice for Stanford. But I’m not saying everyone should do similarly.
