Located on a 300-acre forested campus in Houston, Rice University is consistently ranked among the nation's top 20 universities by U.S. News & World Report. Rice has highly respected schools of Architecture, Business, Continuing Studies, Engineering, Humanities, Music, Natural Sciences and Social Sciences and is home to the Baker Institute for Public Policy. With 3,708 undergraduates and 2,374 graduate students, Rice's undergraduate student-to-faculty ratio is 6-to-1. Its residential college system builds close-knit communities and lifelong friendships, just one reason why Rice has been ranked No. 1 for best quality of life multiple times by the Princeton Review and No. 2 for "best value" among private universities by Kiplinger's Personal Finance

It is not very big for population i think, but why Rice?
I check and read people comment's about rice university and catch some good information from http://www.yelp.com/biz/rice-university-houston :
"As a kid I remember my dad taking me here and walking around the campus with me. Since then I have taken my kids here and one of our favorite things to do is visit the Shepherd School of Music and attend their free concerts during the year." said by Allen T
"Pretty campus. I was visiting, and drove around the campus.
It has all the classic red brink buildings and many trees. It's a nice campus to live on and all the houses in the surrounding neighbor hood are also pretty nice. Love it!" said by Julia Z.
"The academics here are phenomenal, both for undergraduates and grad students. This seems to be an amazing place to go to college as an undergrad- as the school is one of a select few in the country that uses a residential college system (Yale also does this), to break what is already an intimate college down into smaller enclaves. The undergrads here are smart, clearly motivated, and very diverse.
I didn't expect to love Rice as much as I do- I'm a total East Coast academic elitist. I followed a faculty member from Cornell to Rice, and honestly, Rice deserves every accolade it gets. The collection of creative, inspiring, and PLEASANT people assembled here makes it a huge asset to Houston. I am humbled in my snobbery and now seek to convert others." said by Elizabeth M.
and David N. Said "..And I must say based on pure looks this place is worth 5 stars. I have always driven by it but not until I had actually driven through, parked, and walked around that I was able to truly grasp it's beauty. What makes this university so attractive? The HUGE TREES, these trees have history and there are not just a couple here and there, the whole campus is filled with a forest of greenery."
Well if i read more on what people said, it seems that i see many peoples like Rice University because it's

And.. a few people said bad thing :
Rice University also have bad problem when attending graduation,
