This small, top-flight institution goes head-to-head with MIT for its science and engineering programs and with Juilliard for music. It boasts a student-faculty ratio of five to one, second only to Caltech. The campus, a mix of Mediterranean-Byzantine buildings (translation: lots of brick and archways), enjoys a prime location near several top medical centers and Houston’s world-class museum district. Rice draws -- and keeps -- outstanding students: 72% of this year’s freshmen ranked in the top 5% of their high school class, and 93% of students stick around to graduate.
