ECE: Purdue or Rice?

<p>Hello everyone,</p>

<p>I am applying for Phd of Electrical Engineering. These days I get two offers: one from Purdue and one from Rice. It seems that Purdue has a more famous engineering school, yet its location is not so good...Is there anyone can provide some information for me on how to make a choice?</p>

<p>Thanks a lot in advance!</p>
