<p>“In Silicon Valley Rice has more prestige than any of the other schools mentioned. The only non-California schools that beat it are MIT and CMU. So, I guess it depends on where you want to work after graduation. Do you like shoveling snow? Plus, I just don’t get why warm weather is such a problem. Houston is really only bad in the summer when students are not there. On the other hand, Chicago is really awful in the winter when students ARE there.”</p>
