Rice University and University of Houston just scored big on The Princeton Review’s 2026 list of best U.S. colleges, earning spots for academic excellence, student life, and value. Rice stands out for its creative teaching—think podcasts instead of finals—and lands among the nation’s best for dorms, newspapers, and financial aid. Meanwhile, UH’s entrepreneurship program is ranked No. 1, and students say the school keeps getting better and more affordable. With both schools making waves nationally, how do you think these rankings shape Houston’s reputation as a college town? #Education #College #Houston
