      Pros

      Rice is a very supportive environment, the professors are great, and it helps you master whatever topic is covered in that class.

      Cons

      Rice is a very rich school so they could probably afford to pay more.

      Approves of CEO

      I worked at Rice University full-time (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      Talented, energetic students
      Travel perks (though was far more limited than at peer universities due to budgeting differences)
      Campus-wide perks, like hearing world leaders speak, free lectures from scholars, discounts to some area restaurants and companies

      Cons

      Office management was rigid, biased, and bureaucratic, but the management has changed entirely since I left. It may be a lot more dynamic and respectful now.
      Lack of trust and even respect of staffers (by mgmt) and among staffers
      Cliques and gossipy culture (may have changed since mgmt changed)
