I don’t know the student’s religious affiliation - but I agree, SMU is a great one although the student dynamic will be different than Rice and it might help to know what the student seeks - TCU, Baylor, Trinity, Tulsa (not too far), Tulane (not too far) - if staying close to home is a desire.
I am curious what they mean by “not super supportive”? And what year those students are that said that.
My D is a Rice grad (actually still there finishing up her masters). She was an engineering major which is obviously not CS but she felt it was a very collaborative and supportive environment. Freshmen year was tough - but I think you’ll find the same rigor at any good school as a STEM major.
I agree with the earlier poster that I would not rule it out without visiting yourself and talking to some more students. In fact, I would not ED anywhere without visiting first.

The students who said that were in their junior and senior years. Thank you.
