The Rice Village area (older homes, shops, restaurants) - great! Medical center across street - busy.

I don't really remember. My taxi ride there was a bit uncomfortable.

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

The Rice Village commercial area has a lot of shops and restaurants, and Downtown Houston is only a few minutes away. Rice is also located in a very safe, attractive area of Houston.

Rice Village has practically everything. I recommend Cafe Brioche, El Meson, Brown Eyes Blue. Also, there are shopping and entertainment districts north of campus. Check out the museum district!

There is a lovely residential area right behind and around rice. An art museum is in the near vicinity and the medical center is across the street. It is a well kept area with much construction.

The area around campus is Houston. It's right in the city. The residential areas farther out are average income homes but the ones right down the street are in much better quality.

Like a Palo Alto or Coral Gables, this is a university surrounded by an A+ bedroom community. And, you just a hop away fromt he football stadium and old Astrodome.

The campus is in Southwest Houston and the area surrounding it is mostly old historic-looking neighborhoods. On the other side of the campus is the park and the Texas Medical Center.
