Rice University Visit Report by frogster

Visit Activities:

Campus Tour: Yes - Campus is beautiful and the tour guides are students that know what they're talking about

Classroom Visit: Yes - Classes are small (two I attended only had 4 students), teachers are wonderful.

---

Campus:

---

Students love being there and are very willing to help and just smile.

---

Teachers are very hands on and are part of campus life.

---

It takes an army to make campus that beautiful. It's a shady paradise.

---

---

No where else have I seen students want to stay on campus four years. They love the community and the dorms. The one I stayed in was a Suite (four people = two bedrooms, a common room and a bathroom)

---

---

The people are amazingly friendly and it's impossible not to make friends on that campus.

---

Off-Campus:

---

Light rail access. Nice neighborhood, not the normal rundown college neighborhood.

---

Houston's nothing special

Campus Visit Notes for Rice University

Visit Description:

Rice is a community, above all else. The Residential College system is spectacular. Kids with completely different majors, extroversion levels, drinking habits, races, and everything else get along and are friends. The integration is spectacular and there is never a dull moment.

Campus is alive with such interesting activities as the Beer Debates, food fights, water fights, and Beer Bike. Everyone is amazingly friendly and enjoys staying up late just to hang out and go out for a snack at 1AM. It was the week after easter so we found a bunch of peeps and had a peep eating contest.

The only negative about my entire experience was that the dorm food is horrid.

Other Comments (Transportation, local attractions, parking, etc.):

Don't go to the Houston space tour, it sucks. A lot.
