<p>Both are great schools! I attended a college fair recently, and Rice was one of the presenting universities. I was pleasantly surprised by the representative’s display of the school! Before hearing him speak, I had not even considered Rice because of it’s location (my first choice would be somewhere in the NE) but looked into it, and it seems like a place I would definitely apply to. Large undergraduate focus, many activities. One of my close friend’s had an aunt that went there for Graduate school in Architecture over Harvard, actually…Carnegie Mellon is also top-notch, but rather different. It’s more known for it’s arts and drama departments and is located in Pittsburgh, which is obviously not near Houston. Depending on your daughter’s interests, I would recommend looking into both schools to see which is a better fit (if not both). Good luck!</p>
