<p>I'm just curious. From what I noticed there have been "Don't go to _____" on virtually every board except Rice's. For ex: I noticed them on Harvard, Stanford, UChicago, Northwestern, Carnegie Mellon, etc.... </p>
<p>Does this mean that noone dislikes Rice in any way?</p>
<p>obviously some people do but the large majority of people are happy here!</p>
<p>because no one ever sees or hears from those who dislike Rice again ;)</p>
<p>I had a friend who didnt like Rice, but she admitted that she didnt try to make friends during O-Week, and was shy in the first few weeks of school, which is a crucial time to meet new people. I think it takes more effort NOT to make friends than to go out and meet people…</p>
<p>so she went by college not liking her school? Bummer</p>
<p>She is transferring to Texas this year.</p>
<p>iirc Rice is ranked second in student happiness. I transferred to Rice from another school. I was pretty unhappy there. I’ve never had a bad week here at Rice though. I’ve had bad days, but even bad days were just because I didn’t study as much as I wanted to and weren’t actually due to unhappiness.</p>
<p>My freshman roommate wasn’t happy there, but it was largely his own fault. He came in from a small town in Oklahoma and was used to being the big fish in the small pond and didn’t adjust very well. I go along great there, and was happy to be just an average student.</p>
