<p>I just want to know more about rice from "insider" point of view. Also, how's rice's chemistry/biology department??</p>
<p>i heard economics was pretty popular, but alot of people do it as their second major.</p>
<p>economics is def the most pop</p>
<p>all are excelelent depts wellr ounded school</p>
<p>The link below is to the "Rice Facts" for the class of 2009. It gives you a numerical breakdown of what percent of students are studying in each of the six "schools" (i.e. Social Sciences, Engineering, Humanities, Nat. Sciences, Music, Architecture)</p>
<p>As a Rice sophomore that can give you your "insider point of view," I would second the notion that ECON is definitely a big choice; also popular at Rice are history, Psychology, and Bioengineering among others. Lots and lots of Pre-meds here too.</p>
<p>I'm not personally familiar with the chemistry and biology departments, but my friends that are in them definitely have positive things to say (except for the dreaded Organic Chem!) </p>
<p>Good luck making your decision!</p>
<p>man that is a great page. there is so much info on there.</p>
<p>Haha, yes. That page's predecessor was my best Rice friend when narrowing down my list of schools!</p>
<p>chem/bio is really good</p>
<p>It seems like there are a fair number of ELEC-E majors; PoliSci's also really popular. A lot of people do Econ, but that's usually as a second major. I also know a lot of Philosophy majors, but that's more as a result of the type of people who tend to be my friends.</p>
<p>there aren't that many elecs. seeing as how about a third of rice goes to med school, there are a lot of bio/biochem majors even though quite a few premeds major elsewhere. psych and econ are also popular.</p>
