Hey guys, I just received my financial aid offer. It turns out, there’s a really big difference. If I go to Rice, I’d say I save about 100K in four years… I should go to Rice, right?
That’s awesome! Great savings! Congrats getting into Rice!
I would pick Rice over USC. They are both great schools but USC is way too BIG (18k UG)! http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/usc-1328
Yes, you should choose Rice. It offers a wonderful academic and social experience, and I have no doubt you will be able to get a good job or get into a top graduate program if you do well. there There is no way that USC is worth $100,000 more.
You get very clear signal Rice is the best choice. This is from a USC mom. Anyway just want to add that there are a lot of Texans at USC.
You should be very excited to have recieved a great financial aid package from Rice. This is a wonderful opportunity. Congratulations!
