Pros
-World-class university -Closeness of TMC -Awesome students
Cons
-Depending on your advisor, you may or may not have a work-life balance (I got lucky with my advisor though)
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
1. Great university with incredible faculty. 2. Research environment is very fast paced and energetic. Because Rice is trying to become a more established school in computer science, the faculty is growing a lot, leading to a lot of new ideas/projects. 3. Lots of collaboration between researchers. 4. Because it is a smaller school, advisors generally can spend a lot of time with you and be a high-quality mentor (depends on the advisor).
Cons
1. The university is small, so choice of faculty is limited. This may change in coming years as the department is growing very fast. 2. The engineering department has a lack of physical space (only one building), which makes the office assignment for PhD students very difficult. You will most likely share an office with several other people.
