Hi again, sorry - I don’t have any info on Rice other than the fact that it is on our long list. S #2 is a STEM and music (and chess) guy who also loves philosophy and int’l studies so we are on a similar search. I personally think smaller to medium sized universities are ideal for kids who are not yet set on a specific major (my liberal arts kids would get lost in a cast of thousands). I like Rice’s residential colleges which are like Yale and its rival, the school-that-must-not-be-named. S #1 did EA and is doing a Math and Philosophy major. S #1’s other thing is not music but painting and Yale definitely has it all goin’ on. And then some

For S #2 at this point others we are thinking of are Oberlin, Carleton, Wesleyan, Case Western, Tufts and the Claremont schools. An experienced poster also suggested St Olaf. Most of these sound small for your son, however.
