Go with your gut. Rice is less expensive and has happier students. You would be welcomed into the Rice campus and culture during O Week. You will be assigned to a residential college, which is an instant social group. Rice doesn’t have Greek life. The cost of living is lower in Houston too for things like meals out, etc. Rice has some distribution requirements. You are required to take some courses in Rice’s various schools outside of your major, but there are tons of courses to choose from. Rice doesn’t have a strict core requirement like Columbia does. Columbia is more intense while Rice is more collaborative. Don’t let prestige blind you to the best fit. https://unconventional.rice.edu/happystudents?fbclid=IwAR22wBqTVnFfJf3hVvcl9dJ0LKk8owZlpGXERlYvNNV04bOPlnr3HYnvbHk
