<p>I’ll be attending Rice this fall and my older brother will be a senior at Emory. From what he’s told me, it sounds like Emory and Rice are equally rigorous when it comes to academics. However, I’ve been informed that many Emory students have a bit of an attitude and might be less accepting of differences/idiosyncrasies in their classmates than Rice students. Personally, I never felt any desire to go to Emory. Rice was just too perfect to pass up. :)</p>
