What made me smile is that the all the advantages that you cited for Stanford apply equally to Rice:

“It’s a top notch school, it’s an AMAZING opportunity, there’s a lot of diversity, it opens a lot of doors, beautiful campus, lots of study abroad opportunities …”

I’m curious to know how many Stanford profs connect as closely to their students as some Rice profs do – providing research opps, guiding them to fellowship awards, inviting them home for dinner, sending emails about shared interests, attending their club events … And how would dorm life at Stanford compare to belonging to a residential college at Rice? Quarters vs. semesters?

Cristinamaria, you’re choosing between two top-notch schools with amazing opportunities, lots of diversity, that open doors, beautiful campuses, and lots of study abroad opportunities … and that’s not an easy choice unless you seek out the differences.
