Campus Visit Notes for Rice University


Visit Description:

The campus is very nice and the stories that the tour guide told included pranks pulled by the students and traditions that all students try to adhere to during their education at Rice. The students seem well-rounded and normal. The education standards there are very high, but going to Rice will definitely be a boost when trying to find a job. The staff was very helpful. Parking is a bit of a drag, since visitors have to pay and it's very expensive to park on campus as a student. But overall, the education quality and the location make it an enticing school.
