<p>Wow, I usually avoid confrontation and I hate to bump an old thread, but this guy that is putting down Houston by saying “it’s hardly a city” must be blind. I agree the weather is bipolar and humid, but there are more than enough things to do in Houston that make up for it. Rice even offers their students free admission to surrounding museums and free metro/light rail passes to explore the city. Cornell may be nice too, but apparently they’ve got some stuck up individuals attending their school. After all, who flagrantly admits that they are from a “family made of money”? </p>
<p>The two campuses are very different. There are pros and cons to both.</p>
