<p>As a student, I can tell you that Rice is very safe. The Rice U Police are very active and approachable, and the campus has those blue light things everywhere. I need to unlock 3 doors to get into my room, and (for better or for worse) I feel completely safe leaving out my stuff in the social room on my floor – I know no one will steal it, even guests on the floor.</p>
<p>All colleges are co-ed in the sense of mixed floors. I don’t know if there are rules about living with a member of the opposite gender as a freshman, but as an upperclassman you are allowed to choose one as a roommate (pretty rare except in quads). The masters have no say, it’s in the college constitutions. Feel free to ask any other questions!</p>
