False. Penn Bioengineering (specifically) is a top program; ahead of both Rice and UT.</p>
<p>I went to UT as an engineering major, and their undergraduate education is good, especially for grad school. However, at Rice, I’m learning a lot more, and the education is really undergraduate-focused. Although it’s behind UT in most engineering rankings, I would pick Rice over UT.</p>
<p>Penn, however is spectacular for BioE (but not so much EE). However, it gets much better recruiting, and has Wharton (which is spectacular if you decide to change your mind and go into the work force).</p>
<p>Overall, I think Rice is the best, although UT is a very close second.</p>
