| It's not the noise (I think the Hanszen and Wiess probably have the worst of that), but it's the walking around the stupid green wall in that muddy "temporary path" (from a Brown perspective). Also Martel apparently has essentially no emergency access. | |

| I can answer two out of three:
Yes, laundry rooms are in each res. college and require no coins.
Powerpuff is women's football teams from each college compete during the fall. | |

| The Fairy Fountain is a fountain with a sculpture of fairies that's located by Jones College and Brown College. A birthday tradition at these colleges is to get thrown in the Fairy Fountain on your birthday.

| Yes! I'm in it!
We don't have a jazz major or anything like that. Actually, the jazz program is completely unrelated to Shepherd School of Music (which I think is all for the better). We have a big band jazz ensemble that meets Monday nights and is pretty good if I do say so myself, a smaller "combo" that meets Sundays for those who want some more improv opportunities, and several other opportunities to get together with your friends and play.
Although, I think this question would be better in a thread of its own, but I suppose Rice Jazz Ensemble is a good reason to come here, too! | |

| Open in "I can take anything I want and still graduate in 4 years" or open as in, "Lot's of flexibility in coursework and no required core curriculum"? The latter is correct, former is not. You have 3 distribution areas, and you have to take a number of hours in each of those distributions. I think you will find all this information and more on the rice.edu website.  | |

Way to do your research, Seventeen. | |

| I find Seventeen's lack of journalistic integrity appalling. Someone should do something! | |
