How hot/humid does it get at Rice?

Extremely…during the summer at least. The first few weeks of school tend to be hot/humid (check out the yearly averages for Houston for actual numbers). Spring is usually not too bad - the day I left was the first really warm day (90s, high humidity). However, you don’t have to spend summer at Rice. The school year, when you’re actually there, is pretty nice - you get a lot of great 70 degree and sunny days in mid-winter.

And every building on campus is air conditioned (along with practically every building in Houston).
