Houston or St. Louis?

<p>I'm currently choosing between Rice and Wash U. Both are great schools that offer fantastic liberal arts educations. To help with my decision I want to know what city people prefer: Houston or St. Louis? I plan on getting to know the city, and I love having fun. So what city has the best parks, museums, sports complexes, bars, clubs, etc. Also, which school has a better creative writing program?</p>
