Rice is a great school. In league with CMU and such.

Great great school.

My opinion is unbiased even though I'm going there next year. I swear.

EE325 E/M right now is giving me tons of problems. I don't have any of the assumed-prereq in vector calc and I don't know what a fscking curl is, nor to do I care...

I loved 411, but I loved 316 more!

University of Texas of the Permian Basin, they have a good CS degree program. Smallest UT branch, so you get cheap tuition and personal attention, unlike in the big schools.

My max class was around 60, smallest was 7, majority were 15-25

I get plently of personal attention in my upper division classes (for my major). One of them has about 15 students. I go to UT. Then again, the geography department only has 250 students.

anyone complaining of not getting personal attention at UT hasn't gone to visit their prof during office hours

The same can be said for almost every other university.

This post is an idiot posting. Probably done by someone who go to oklahoma university. Doesn't even know that Oklahoma is not in Texas.

Edit:
For Engineering & CS, UT is the option

Overall, i'd say Rice is better than CMU, except in CS. congrats, and be sure to get the "people think i'm smart because I go to Rice" bumper sticker.

i guess some people weren't born with a funny bone...


anyways, there are no girls in CS at all. there are maybe 5 (of 100) per undergrad course... then the numbers--whatever is left of them--steadily decrease progressively into upper division... and then theres a bit of a hike at the graduate level... because there's a small population of old foreign chinese girls

the whole fable of texas girls isnt that true... texas just has sheer size which, inevitably, makes for some crazy-hot girls. for consistency, though, one would have to give to Baylor or TTU--ones a private baptist school (think spoiled rich suburbanites) and the other is a distant party school (think C-average cheerleader girls)

i was referring to ut... as i use texas and ut interchangeably. the adage about ut/texas having the hottest women in the US is, i suggest, false.

Well you really have to use 411 and 316 together eventually. To be honest, I don't remember 325 all that well anymore. 316 is a great class and you should keep it fresh. A lot of interview questions come from there. Typical digital design question will involve a state table. most 316 interview questions will likely be sequential and not combinational. A lot of interview questions come from 411 too, at least for internships and the like ( if its an analog position), they will probably ask about op amp.

As to 325, who do you have? Driga? Ling? Cardwell? Pierce?

I had Pierce for 411 and I thought he was pretty good. I enjoyed his definite enthusiasm in the material..grady in 302 was boring and I almost ended up with him for 411, but I got Pierce through a last-minute instructor change in the dept.

I have Neikirk for 325.

1) UT
2) TAMU
3) UTD

UTD just got a huge grant (141 million or so) for their CS/EE program. School officials are saying that this will put them on par with UT's excellent program in a few years. Add in that UTD has a better student/prof ratio and more PhD's as a percentage of teachers than either UT or TAMU, and you have a winning program.

The goober doesnt know what hes talking about. Oklahoma itself goes by OU. Sorta like Tulsa University goes by UT. Its not like the stupid lame thing some aggies came up with, TU for UT.
