<p>how are the humanities depts @ rice?</p>
<p>I think all the departments are strong. They are not as well-known perhaps as the engineering and science departments, etc. but they are still very strong. My daughter is a humanities major (I think.... actually she'll probably double major like many Rice folk, but it will most likely be in a Humanities area). She's very enthusiastic about her profs - but she's only a freshman, so I can't tell you much more than that. As they say, it's all good!</p>
