<li>None of my teachers have Southern accents. None of my friends have strong Southern accents.</li>
<li>I am surprised at how little racism I see on campus (comparing it to my very racist high school). I’m sure it happens, but we respect diversity here.
3, There are racist and non-racist people here as anywhere.</li>
<li>I don’t know.</li>
<li>I can’t say.</li>
<li>There are churches and other places of worship nearby. Most students here are non-religious or nominally religious but respect all faith systems.</li>
<li>Rice is insanely fun. I can’t imagine myself anywhere else now. Somehow in the middle of all the academic stress I can always consider how grateful I am to be here. My friends are talented, smart, and diverse. There is almost always something to do on campus.</li>
<li>Most people I know put first priority on academics but are usually up to hang out or go to a party, etc.</li>
