Hamsters are OK, but rats are awesome. I have one male, about the size of your average guinea pig. You should as a rule of thumb try to get two, though - potentially three, since rats don't have the longest lifespan and one you've got two rats and one dies, they get pretty fucking depressed.
Get rats that were littermates and try not to get over six months, that way you'll have longer with them and you can get to know them better. Get a big cage. Play with them for at least a half hour every day.
Here is a site with pretty much everything you'll ever EVER need to know about getting rats as pets:
