Question Admitted to RICE, UNIV. OF PENNSYLVANIA, UT-Austin help me decide!

Guys I am EE with interests in Nanotechnology and Solid State. I got admits from Rice, UT-Austin, and Univ. of Pennsylvania, all to the PhD with full support. I cant decide where to go. What do you Think? PLEASE HELP!!

I am from Dallas and have been to all these places execpt for Austin. Which has the better program in Nanotech? Which is more prestigious? Better success for alumni?

I am leaning toward either Rice or Austin...I think they are better in Engineering than Penn.

Please Vote and tell me why you voted for the school....I NEED HELP!!!

Thanks so much!

Welcome to TM!

I'm not in EE but you can reference this thread comparing Rice, UIUC and UT Austin.

Thank you very much! Though I wish I had found this forum before I started applying to Schools.

Well, I think non-EE people probably don't feel too comfortable voting since we don't really know about the field, but we'll read your thread.

Congrats Emman0101. Please dont decide about ur future based on people voting on their guesses. Think about it and talk to the people who hav good knowledge in your area.
As far as the reputation goes, I think UT Austin is cool.

I'd undoubtedly take UT-Austin and wouldn't even think about the rest.
Especially for Solid State.
