Dagny was a freshman at Rice. Do you have any connection with Rice? Enjoying the book ...

When I was 19, I was a second-year student at the University of Virginia.  My long-distance girlfriend attended Rice, as well as one of my best friends from high school, and I went to visit them at the university over my spring break.  I really liked the school—it seemed like a much better fit for me than UVA, probably because Rice was the right amount of nerdy for me.  I thought it might be the right amount of nerdy for Dagny too.
