<p>I disagree with you brown2009. While many research universities have this problem, I don’t think Rice does. I have not had a single professor who hasn’t dedicated more than enough time to their teaching over their research. You might not be able to see this as a prospie, but when you are a student and professors are willing to set up special appointments outside of their office hours, you feel like they are dedicated to their students as well as their research.</p>
