UVA vs. Rice

My daughter has been accepted at both schools and is trying to make a decision. They’re very different schools but she can see the value of each. Big school in college town vs. small school in big city, traditional dorms vs. residential colleges, etc. She’s interested in Government/Politics/Public Policy. Rice has the Baker Institute and UVA has the Batten School, though there’s no guarantee of admission to Batten. Just wondering if anyone has experiences with both schools and can provide insight. Thanks!
