Colleges and Universities A-Z Rice University

<p>I've been accepted to both, and I am now having a hard time deciding where i would want to spend my next four years as a premed. Having lived in Texas all my life, i definitely know a lot more about Rice and understand its emphasis towards undergraduate education. I also know that Rice is right next to the largest medical center on the planet. However, i was thinking that if i go to penn and experience an entirely different culture, i would probably experience more personal growth. </p>

<p>So taking premed preparation/atmosphere and personal growth into consideration, which school do you guys think is better?</p>

<p>I have a kid at each school- neither pre-med, though. Other than the pre-med issue (which either would be good), I would pick Rice. I think it offers a better undergrad experience. With pre-med you are going to have a lot of competitiveness at either school. I do agree that you might want to experience something outside of Texas. However, my kid at Rice found Houston to be wonderful with many cultural opportunities. She loves Houston.</p>

<p>Rice is solid in a lot of areas and focuses a lot on its Undergraduate population! I would pick Rice over Penn</p>
