@Houston1021 - Thank you for all of that information and advice! I agree about parents taking control of the tours when the students should be asking the questions. I get frustrated, though, when my S goes mute during the tours. We’ll be sure to take the smaller tour afterwards which should make him more conversive. The dorms/residential colleges are at the top of his list for visiting and for questions so I’m hoping we can, somehow, get a look at a “typical” dorm room and learn more about life within these colleges.

One additional question regarding interview and essay, the admissions department makes it clear that they are looking for students that “get Rice.” I think my son gets the school but would welcome any feedback from others on the forum as to what it means, to them, to “get” Rice.

Thanks to everyone for their responses.
