My only concern about Rice is Houston. Is it really that bad as people back it to be?

It depends on your personal taste. My D who was born and raised in New England loves Houston. She loves going to tons of restaurants and every type of convenience a big city offers. 3 professional sports teams within 10 minutes of campus. Vast employment opportunities. She loves being able to go to a major concert. She loves walking to Rice Village. She recently went to a McKinsey networking event downtown.

When she told her class she was going to Houston, people thought she was crazy. Wouldnt you be happier at an Ivy League school? Nope.

Who cares what other people think or believe. Make the best decision for yourself.
