i am a girl going into computer science, but i also really really really like biology and chemistry.

i love love love love love love love love love rice, but i am doing this program this summer that is getting me into and pushing me to go to stanford.

stanford isn’t rice, but the computer science program is supposed to be better, it’s much more well known, and there would probably be more internship opportunities during the school year because its so close silicon valley.

but i still love rice.

so basically, i was wondering if you think it is worth it to go to rice for the social environment (residential colleges, kids, slightly smaller than stanford) or is it worth it to go to stanford because its stanford.

any thoughts would be really appreciated!!
i have been dreaming of going to rice for so long, that i can’t imagine wanting to go to a different school more
