UT Austin Houston PMBA vs. Rice PMBA

Still debating between these two offers. I like the fact that Rice's program will be on main campus and its variety of electives, but I still can't get over the overall ranking of the UT program. Any advice?

Hello, yes, I have visited both schools and talked to their recruiting people/students. Like said, I know that UT Austin probably has a better overall rep over Rice, but my main concern is over the fact that I'll be in the Houston program (have to due to location) thus limited resources (i.e. main campus activities), also the lock-step format of the UT class is also something I'm debating--Rice offers lots of electives and energy is the area that I want to focus in; UT Austin Houston program on the other hand, offers more of a "general" MBA and none of the classes are in particular energy area.
