<p>I need to make a decision fast. I've been racking my brain for a while, and I can't pick one over the other. I really like the atmosphere at rice and the residential college system, although housing is only guaranteed for 3 years. Duke seems to have a better academic reputation, but it seems the top level institutions have comparable academics anyhow. Houston is of course > than Durham, but Duke's campus is pretty expansive anyhow.</p>
<p>Can anyone give me any advice?
I'm an undecided major whose basically in the humanities/social science programs at both schools. I'm interested in political science, philosophy, business to some extent, and would enjoy intramural sports and a decent school theatre.</p>
<p>Also, how's the social life compare at either schools? What about career advising, and flexibility and satisfaction in selecting courses? How is Greek life vs. no Greek life?</p>
<p>I've already done heavy research into both schools, but I can't for the life of me seem to pick one. Help, please!!</p>
