Rice vs Wash U.. help!

<p>I'm trying to decide between Wash U and Rice.
I'm interested in Psychology (?) and money isn't a factor.</p>

<p>I'm curious how Wash U and Rice compare in regards to academics, research opportunities, reputation and general experience.</p>

<p>I have already visited Wash U and I liked it a lot. I'm going to visit Rice in a couple of weeks</p>

<p>Any input would be greatly appreciated!</p>

<p>I've never been to either, but from talking to multiple students from both, I would suggest Rice. Everyone I've talked to there has been SOOO happy about profs/classes/campus ...everything</p>

<p>Rice. No doubt. I'm currently transferring from WashU as an incoming junior (hate it). And one of my closest friends transferred from WashU after freshman year to Rice and LOVES it.</p>

<p>Also, I'm a psych minor and although there are tons of research opportunities at WashU - I have found them to be extremely tedious and unenjoyable because almost all of the courses are lecture based and the professors aren't that great.</p>
