go w/ your gut feeling. rice is an excellent school for the sciences (don’t know specifics about its fisx dept., tho), and if money is at all an issue, it’s a real bargain. i have to go so sorry for being so brief, but the way i see it, the undergrad experience is really unique and you should be able to look back and automatically say that you loved it. when you’re happy, you can take advantage of the academic resources around you to the fullest. when you feel out of place, you might not be motivated to achieve as much. seriously, the difference btwn rice and princeton is so little, especially for a motivated and bright person that i’m sure you are (the fact that you applied to and got into princeton is enough to predict your success, no matter where you go to college), that it really comes down to that “gut feeling.”
