My son graduated from there 2 years ago..Great experience. Upside is the quality education and name recognition when its time to get a job...
Downside is majority foreigners (graduation roll call was mind blowing) and and it can be very hard to find friend groups because of the over the top academic minded foreign student body.

Would I go 400K in debt to send my kid to Rice? No. I would for Stanford/Harvard/MIT/Yale/Princeton. If you have planned for this and/or you can cash flow the payments, it will be the best money you have ever spent. It is upsetting to many people, but your kid will have opportunities that won't be available to others. My youngest son graduated from a US News top 5 university last May. In a funky job market with most recent grads struggling to find anything related to their major, he is making a strong 6-figure base salary in a job he loves. There is no doubt where he got his degree played a huge part in this. I never felt better than when I made those tuition payments.

Can we just stop and appreciate how great of a dad this guy would be. Honestly.

You should learn how to put spaces in between thoughts though. But otherwise, good points.

But then again, I graduated from an elite school (thanks financial aid), make 6 figures and still post on TD (geaux tigers) so don’t listen to me.
