<p>In addition to what others have said, I’m going to have to recommend Rice just because of the financial difference. $20,000/year is a LOT of money. I think it would be very, very difficult to justify spending an extra $20,000/year just to go to Chicago instead of Rice, especially when you don’t even know what you want to major in and hence don’t even know if you’ll benefit from the areas where Chicago pulls slightly ahead of Rice.</p>
