<p>Hi Sisixue,
I’m also here advocating for Rice, since I go here, but I just was a little confused about one thing. You said that you didn’t like Philly, because you prefer bigger cities. I’m just going to assume you visited Haverford and not actually the city because Philly is the 5th biggest city in the country, just one spot behind Houston. So, if you think Haverford isn’t near a big city, I would at least cross this concern off your list. I also (personally, having grown up there) think Philly is a great city, although like any city, make sure you learn the different areas before straying off by yourself. </p>
<p>All that being said, I love Rice because unlike Haverford it is actually in the city it claims to be in but still has a great campus feel. I don’t know much about your prospective majors but I have enjoyed the few anthropology classes I have taken, and know very satisfied econ majors. Not sure what type of job you would be looking for after college (you said you might want to work) but if it is some kind of consulting, Rice can definitely facilitate that as these jobs dominate the job fair here.</p>
<p>Hope this helps some!</p>
