<p>Would a humanities person enjoy the environment?</p>
<p>My DD graduated in Anth, but did lots of humanities. She loves Rice, and while she was there participated in one of the Light Opera musicals, played club sports, was a Humanities Research Fellow, visited museums, lectures, music concerts, parties,.. Are you thinking that Rice is just a tech school? It isn’t. I believe Rice graduates more students from the social science department than the tech/science areas, and it has a strong humanities program. There is a lot of support on campus for theater and plays, but I’ll have to let others chime in about that because I don’t have any info in that area.</p>
<p>Thank you. D wants to major in cultural anthro and minor in film. She wants a relaxed yet intense school that does not take itself too seriously … where folks do not feel as though they have to prove something. </p>
<p>She was raised in CA and is finding the west coast/western schools seem to have the right feel for her. </p>
<p>THX</p>
<p>Relaxed, yet intense. That sounds about right. Both my kids seem to have had (younger is a rising soph) very balanced experience - time for sports, study, hanging out and fun, etc.</p>
<p>Agree with anxiousmom. Your D described Rice. My rising junior D has a science major (with plenty of time for all the fun stuff) and the few humanities classes she took for distribution requirements were very challenging.</p>
