Is Rice worth 4x the Ga Tech experience? And is it worth uprooting your family as well?

How stretched will your parents be after spending 4x the money on Rice? Do you have younger siblings still wanting to go to college, and if you spend all this money on Rice, what will their college options be? And if your family moves and you have younger siblings, what great programs/activities/friends will those younger siblings miss out on by being uprooted to satisfy your college desire?

Money matters to my family, we would not spend 4x more on any college. But that is my family. You need to consider how that impacts your family’s finances. Parents will always want the best for you, so they may not vocalize the relief they would have if you chose Ga Tech.

I am asking questions here, not telling you what to do. You need to consider price, location, campus feel, degree program, how involved you can be on campus, class size, etc. Lots to consider. I know Ga Tech, I don’t know anything about Rice.
