<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>Schmoo102, I can't speak for Rice, however my D is a psych major at WashU and has been very impressed with her professors and the research opportunities. She was able to get a research assistant position in her freshman year and works closely with the professor and grad students. We were so impressed that she was able to do this as a freshman and she is very excited about the department and the major.</p>
<p>Are you a high school junior? If not, decision time has already come and gone, it is May 1st.</p>
<p>Schmoo102, I now realize that you are a transfer student from the Rice forum. In that case, both WashU and Rice are very good schools. You shall visit and see how you feel about them. But bear in mind, the weather where the two schools are located is quite different.</p>
