Rice University Review Summary
Those looking for a top tier university might like Rice University, located in Houston, Texas. This private institution is noted by reviewers for its academic excellence, its great financial aid packages, and its smaller, more community- oriented atmosphere. Houston's Rice University is an “Absolutely Excellent School with Great Financial Assistance” and “A Great School to be In”. The cost of an education at Rice University is quite high and its exclusiveness may not make it the best choice for every student. But for an outstanding educational experience, superior academics, and a very valuable degree, Rice University is difficult to beat and it rates very highly among the Colleges and Universities in the United States.
