<p>Nice thing about Rice is that you can start whatever you want; good funding for student-run groups (like a second a capella group). A current Rice student will be able to answer, since I’m just a mom - but I think there was another a capella group a few years ago, but perhaps not as established. There are also student bands that you can sing with, Rice Chorale that you can sing with if you like more classical music, also Rice Light Opera which puts on student-run productions in the res colleges, plus some musical theater stuff. You should be able to do plenty of singing at Rice, even if you are not in the conservatory program.</p>
