Pros
Rice is a great place to do research. It is a small campus, friendly staff and administration help to make life as a graduate student a little bit easier. The students are friendly and laid back, so the atmosphere is not as competitive as other schools.
Cons
The worst part about Rice is the parking situation. There is no good parking option near most buildings unless you want to spend $500+ a year. That is not doable for a lot of graduate students. Parking in the neighborhoods is maddening since the rich homeowners do not like students parking near their houses and complain to the city.... guess what... you bought a house near a university, and the streets in front of your house are not private property.
