i was looking around cc and i found the rice thread and it sounds like a wonderful school. but i was wondering if because it has so many acceptees from in state, whether it was way on the conservative side. and also if the dorms/campuses are nice; i just have this association between texas and desert inside my head, im sorry.

no deserts down in houston. dorms are very nice (at least the ones I saw). Conservative? Not necessarily.

BTW to answer your questions:
1. Approximately 50% of the people at Rice are from Texas, and the political spectrum is probably somewhere in the middle, not too conservative and not liberal compared to UC Berkeley etc
2. Houston is located in a swamp
3. Campus is nice, very pretty with nice Mediterranean Theme. Dorms are ok, depends on what college you in, some are newer than others.

BTW you have very good stats for Rice, your GPA isn't too low at all. Now it all depends on the presentation (eg essay, etc) and on luck.
