Rice or Princeton?

I’m sure you know this…Princeton’s name will get you farther, as Rice is not generally known north of the Mason-Dixon line (actually, if you’re in the South, that’s fine, of course), while Princeton is internationally recognized. I don’t want to sound superficial, but prestige is, I think, underrated by many savvy college-bound people, who tend to see prestige as so superficial that they run too far to see its real benefits, which exist. Rice is awesome, but Princeton is one of those schools that will open eyes and doors. Make a careful choice, you’ll get a great education either way.
