<p>I've heard that the astrophysics and archaeology (anthropology) programs at Rice are fairly respectable?</p>
<p>But does anyone have any personal experience with them? Or have heard things?</p>
<p>I'm an astrophysics major, and I'm under the impression that our program is well-respected, but that really isn't saying much. Do you have any more specific questions?</p>
<p>Well, what sort of advantages does Rice offer that other colleges don't?</p>
<p>How well equipped is Rice's Astronomy, Physics, and Astrophysics department?</p>
<p>Does the NASA funding I heard about provide any benefits to undergrads?</p>
<p>Any details would be beneficial. At this point, my top two interests are Rice and UC Berkeley, so I'm just looking for some extra info to make sure I'm placing my eyes where they should be.</p>
