I’m Debating between Rice and UT Physics right now. I really like what rice has to offer with the distinct community, residential college system, and academic yet laid back vibe. I love Rice’s campus too. Rice is a research university with a lot of undergraduate research which will be crucial as I want to go to graduate school. While rice isn’t super well known nationwide, people who need to know it(top notch graduate programs) do know it. UT is mainly just known for football I think. Rice is a wet campus so I know they know how to have a good time and not just focus on academics which is great.

I also really like UT especially Austin. Austin is alot of fun and is probably alot better for student life than Houston. I’ve visited the campus a billion times and still love it. The physics program probably has a lot more resources than rice and I’m about to meet the head of the department wants to meet with me. I’m pretty into parties and stuff and UT has more of that and UT has the frat system which is what my Dad wants. I could probably finish school here with little to no debt. My family is all pushing for me to go here too and I could start school here as a credit sophomore(AP credits). My thing is is that I probably wont get Deans so the small intimate classrooms of rice wont happen as often at UT and research oppurtunities will probably be harder to find outside of FRI.

Sooo What should I do?

PS: Sorry for this poorly written post. I’m tired lol
